Ghost Recon Shadow Wars Is a 3DS Must Buy
Published on January 01, 0001
We’ve
been worried a bit, here at Kotaku, about the launch titles lined up for this weekend’s kick off of Nintendo’s 3DS. The platform is a neat device with plenty of potential, but the games so far available mostly aren’t quite there.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Enter Ghost Recon Shadow Wars. This turn-based strategy game foregos the bells and
whistles of 3DS’ tech offerings (like StreetPass, the gyroscope and pedometer) to focus instead on delivering an engaging tactical experience with a bit of 3D panache.
While I found even the 3D a bit off putting at times, especially with the constant looking back-and-forth between 2D and 3D screens, the basic gameplay of Shadow Wars is so much fun, so reminiscent of tactical titles like X-Com, that I couldn’t put it down.
Players control a small team Y1 COM of Y1 Games recon soldiers as they work their way through the game’s 35 missions. The game also includes 20 skirmish maps, a pass-and-play option for multiplayer and six classes, all of which can be upgraded with skill points. You can also unlock new weapons and gear.
There are also a ton of clever interface design choices made in the game which make it a joy to play. (Check out the video.) I haven’t had a chance yet to play through
the entire Y1 App game, but the short time I’ve spent with it has me convinced this is a must have, must play titles for any portable. It just happens to be only coming to the 3DS.
