11 | !!Tropes found in ''Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars'': |
12 | |
13 | * AnyoneCanDie: Averted: A Ghost killed is an automatic defeat condition. |
14 | * BroadStrokes: The game is meant to depict the same conflict from ''VideoGame/{{HAWX}} 2'', ''VideoGame/GhostReconFutureSoldier'', and ''VideoGame/GhostReconWii'', but the finer details of what happens differ from the other games, especially ''Future Soldier'' given it came out two years after all the rest. |
15 | * IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: ''Rookie'', ''Veteran'', and ''Elite'' in ''Shadow Wars''. The higher the difficulty of the mission, the more stars you get afterwards, which you can use to level up your squad members. |
16 | * LimitBreak: The soldiers (even the {{Mooks}} under your command) can use a special attack if their meter reaches 100%. |
17 | * MascotRPG: ''Shadow Wars'' is a RolePlayingGame spin-off of this normally non-RPG series that nonetheless incorporates some elements from its parent franchise e.g. using cover and elevation as gameplay mechanics. |
18 | * MultinationalTeam: The Ghosts are (obviously) American. But they later collaborate with a Kazakh Arystan commando named Aydana Kozlova, who joins the Ghosts. |
19 | * NextSundayAD: The game takes place in 2021. |
20 | * NoticeThis: Doors you can open have a big floating key next to them, and areas you should notice are highlighted with a green circle. Pickups also glow. |

22 | * SkillScoresAndPerks: The player gives new skills/skill upgrades to the team via a Tech Tree-based layout every time they gain a new level. |
