Shadow Company: Left for Dead is a real-time tactics game developed by Sinister Games, Inc. and released in 1999 for PC. Set in Angola, it places the player in command of a squad of mercenaries who have been abandoned by the organization that hired them. The gameplay centers on directing this unit through tactical combat situations, with an emphasis on squad-level decision-making rather than large-scale resource management typical of broader real-time strategy titles. The mercenary setting and African conflict backdrop give the game a grounded, military tone, distinguishing it within the tactics genre of its era.
