Use the shadows and any tiny corner to your advantage. You often have multiple options to a situation, will you take-down a guards or will you simply sneak by. While missions can be completed whilst detected, the true art of stealth is to achieve 100% stealth scores for your missions. They key to any stealth game is to be patient and observe the situation and then take measured and planning action accordingly. The games use the concept of "active" versus "passive" moves, with "active" moves, such as running, climbing the sides of buildings, or jumping between rooftops, more likely to alert the attention of nearby guards. When the guards become alerted, the player must either fight them or break their line of sight and locate a hiding place, such as a haystack or a well, and wait until the guards' alert is reduced. The combat system allows for a number of unique weapons, armor, and moves, including the use of a hidden blade set in a bracer on the Assassin's arm, and which also can be used to quietly assassinate targets.

The position and timing of walking are important concepts in the game, and you need to explore them in the game, as long as you use them flexibly, you can play freely and gallop on the battlefield. This is a personal development of an independent game, out of the love of action games, spent years to complete this work, I hope you like! At the same time because of the limited time and manpower so the picture can not do too exquisite, but does not affect the game experience. Welcome to leave your suggestions and comments!
