Shadow Tactics is a hardcore tactical stealth game set in Japan around the Edo period.
Take control of a team of deadly specialists and sneak in the shadows between dozens of enemies. Choose your approach when infiltrating mighty castles, snowy mountain monasteries or hidden forest camps. Set traps, poison your opponents or completely avoid enemy contact.
Looks to be the same genre as Commandos (if you can remember this far back)
Released: 6 Dec 2016 and £31.49 directly on Steam - Overwhelmingly Positive Reviews

I added this game to my Steam wishlist a week ago thinking it wouldn't be cheap for a number of months! Great find!

I always heard about issues with instant gaming and had some myself with all my purchases. Did anyone manage to buy this without being asked for an order confirmation via phone after you paid for it?

Bought, I don't trust instant gaming or their payment provider so I hope there won't be any issues, but payment went through quickly, instant key to my surprise, hope it doesnt get removed or sth.

Bought it off G2A for a similar price last week, looks really good and I haven't played a Commandos-esque game in years so it should be a refreshing change.

I've only played the first level ... nearly worn out the F5 and F8 keys ... they even have a reminder to save after a minute ...
The first time you get all 3 characters (looks like there will be more as you progress) to coordinate an attack is sublime ...
Loving it!
