Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via the Nintendo eShop:

In this survival puzzle action set deep below Tokyo, clear thinking and split-second decisions could mean the difference between life and death.

Story

One day, high schooler Anne is on her way to meet up with friends, when her subway car abruptly plunges through a fissure in the earth. When the 18-year-old comes to, she finds herself in a strange and unfamiliar land.

Unbeknownst to Tokyo’s residents, an underground world lies beneath their city’s surface. Terrifying creatures that evolved from dinosaurs roam this unknown place, creatures that Anne nicknames “Zino.”

Trapped amongst them, any sound she makes might as well be a dinner bell…but Anne isn’t about to become Zino food!

She’ll need her wits, her trusty smartwatch, and the support of her friends to make it out—or she’ll be the one to end up extinct!

Experience

Tokyo Scramble is a survival puzzle action game set deep underground.

When Anne awakens after an accident, she finds herself in a network of subterranean caverns overrun by Zino—mysterious creatures that resemble dinosaurs. Left stranded in this hostile environment where only the strong survive, Anne’s only hope is to find a way back to the surface.

As her journey continues, Anne comes face-to-face with a diverse and deadly array of Zino. With her sights set on the light filtering in from above, Anne must rely on her wits to flee, distract, and fight back however she can. But does she have what it takes to escape this prehistoric world alive?

When his Level 100 canine companion Pochi demands that he get some fresh air for the first time in two centuries, Asley sets out to reintegrate into society and test his magic mettle. His mission? Dropping several unglamorous titles from his repertoire and restoring his good (okay, decent) name.

A brand-new world and fresh adventures await Asley after his many years of hermitage. Perhaps he’ll lend Pochi a hand to place first in the mysterious Familiar Feud. Or maybe he’ll lose all vestiges of dignity and turn tail. Whichever comes first! No matter what, Asley has great evil to fight, a big world to save, and even a little growing up to do…that is, if he can endure Pochi’s “friendly advice” along the way!

Daedalic Entertainment and Mimimi Games have announced that Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the standalone Aiko’s Choice expansion on March 18. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun costs $39.99, Aiko’s Choice costs $19.99, and an “Ultimate Edition” bundle featuring both titles will be available for $53.99.

Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via Daedalic Entertainment:

Experience the game that brought Commandos-style stealth strategy back to modern audiences

Set against the backdrop of Japan’s Edo period, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a stealth strategy game that perfected the classic “Commandos-style” formula and brought it back to modern audiences.

You command a small team of deadly specialists, each with a distinct toolkit. From the agile ninja Hayato to the sniper Takuma, the trap-setting street kid Yuki, the samurai Mugen, and the master-of-disguise Aiko, each character brings unique skills that you must combine with wit and careful planning to complete each mission.

Beyond their abilities, every member of the team has their own background and personal stakes. Over the course of the campaign the group’s relationships evolve, turning tense alliances into trust, and delivering a strong, character-driven story that’s as memorable as the gameplay.

Every mission is a stunning, hand-crafted sandbox of patrol routes, sightlines, and timing: sneak through castles, monasteries, and forest camps, distract guards, set traps, poison targets, or avoid confrontation entirely.

But success isn’t about reflexes: It’s about planning, observation, and executing the perfect multi-character strategy play in the shadows.
