Having avenged Mugen, the four comrades part ways.Gameplay Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a real-time strategy (RTS) game with an emphasis on stealth, patterned after the Commandos and Desperados game series. The shogun executes his nephew Masaru and sends his agents on their final mission to kill Noboru in his castle.

The group kidnaps Masaru and delivers him to the Shogun, where he confesses everything about him and his father. Mugen's companions successfully free themselves from the prison, but Mugen finally chooses to kill himself for failing his shogun, leaving his friends to grieve at his death.After learning that the group has survived, Noboru blames them for murdering Ryunosuke and furtively devises a plan to assassinate the shogun. Noboru gloatingly leaves the broken-hearted Mugen behind with a knife to commit suicide.


Holding Mugen's companions hostage, Noboru makes Mugen lead him to the secret refuge of Ryunosuke, the Shogun's son, whom Noboru's son Masaru murders. Noboru doesn't want peace, but a perpetual state of war, where warriors like him are in their element.
