Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is a turn-based tactical strategy game developed by Ubisoft Sofia and released in 2011 exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS. Players command an elite special operations unit across a series of missions set in varied environments — including the deserts of Kazakhstan, the towns of Ukraine, and the frozen terrain of Siberia. The central objective involves locating and neutralizing a network of hidden Soviet-era "Dead Hand" facilities being exploited by Russian ultranationalist Yuri Treskayev to construct a drone army and seize power. Between engagements, players manage their squad by upgrading weapons, equipment, and individual soldier capabilities, gradually shaping the team's overall effectiveness. The game emphasizes tactical positioning and resource management within its grid-based combat system, offering a structured campaign built around the military thriller setting associated with the Ghost Recon franchise.
