Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars

In that regard, Shadow Wars is played from an overhead perspective using a grid-style system to organize units in a turn-based strategy game.

Story Shadow Wars involves a behind-the-scenes plot by "ultranationalist" conspirators to revert Russia back to the days of the Iron Curtain, Communism, and the Cold War.

A large part of the plot involves the Russian conspirators meddling in the affairs of neighboring countries, wherein the Ghost Recon team is dispatched to clear things up.

There are six characters acting as individual units similar to Nintendo's own Fire Emblem series, each with special abilities.

The six classes are Commando, Gunner, Sniper, Recon, Engineer, and Medic.

Players must learn to use each strategically to survive missions.

Missions also tend to have multiple objectives, and difficulties may be selected prior to engaging each stage.

Gameplay The game is viewed from an overhead perspective (top screen, with 3-D depth), with limited camera adjustments available using the analog nub.

The game is largely controlled with the d-pad and buttons.

The bottom screen is used for stats and only a few segments of the game use it--mostly for players to reference detailed information in some elements in the game, such as weapon attributes.

As in Fire Emblem or Advance Wars , lightly colored squares appear over the stages indicating available player movement, attack points, and other details.

Characters have limited health and ammo, but each carries two weapons or items.

Other Features Besides the regular campaign (story mode), there is a Skirmish mode, which features stand-alone missions against the computer.

Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars for Nintendo 3DS is currently worth €12.71 loose, €5.97 complete in box, and €14.70 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, loose is €12.71 and CIB is €5.97 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is currently worth €12.71 loose, versus €12.36 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
