1. Summary

A full-screen post-mission results overlay that appears immediately after the player completes a mission objective. It displays two tabs — Statistics and Characters — summarizing mission performance data including completion time, difficulty, save/load counts, alarm signals, enemy and civilian casualties, body discoveries, earned challenge badges, and per-character ability usage statistics. A Continue button dismisses the screen and advances the player to the next mission or the campaign hub.

Overview

Post-Mission Results Screen (ui_6)

The Post-Mission Results Screen is a full-screen non-diegetic overlay that appears immediately after the player successfully completes a mission in Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. It serves as a session summary, presenting performance statistics, earned challenge badges, and per-character usage data across two tabs: Statistics and Characters.

Full Screen Context

Post-Mission Results Screen - Statistics tab showing mission performance metrics, badges, challenge cards, and Continue button for The Siege of Osaka

The screen uses a dark semi-transparent overlay that dims the underlying mission artwork while keeping it faintly visible. Decorative Japanese-style ornamental dividers separate the statistics list, badge list, and challenge cards. The title “Mission Success - [Mission Name]” is centered at the top in white serif-style text.

Statistics Tab

The Statistics tab is active by default and displays a two-column layout:

Left column - Mission Performance Metrics:

  • Difficulty - Shows the active difficulty with a colored icon, such as a red star for Hardcore
  • Completion time - Total elapsed time in H:MM:SS format
  • Save count - Total quicksaves performed
  • Load count - Total quickloads/reloads performed
  • Alarm count - Number of alarm states triggered
  • Enemies killed - Format X/Y (killed / total in mission)
  • Injuries suffered - Times characters were wounded
  • Civilians killed - Format X/Y
  • Bodies discovered - Enemy bodies found by other enemies
  • Most kills - Character with the most kills
  • Most deaths - Character who died most often, or “-”

Right column - Badges:

  • Each badge shows a skull-like icon and descriptive text
  • Earned badges use brighter icon treatment and green text
  • Unearned badges use dark or dimmed icons and muted text
  • Badges are mission-specific; each mission has a unique set of challenge conditions

Bottom row - Challenge Condition Cards:

  • Decorative framed cards with Japanese ornamental borders
  • Display additional optional challenges or restrictions
  • Examples include “Don’t kill anyone (except mission targets)”, “Don’t raise any alarm”, “Don’t touch any bushes”, and mission-specific restrictions such as “Kill all officers”

Characters Tab

The Characters tab is available next to Statistics and is used for per-character post-mission review. It displays the characters that participated in the mission and summarizes character-specific performance such as time used, kill contribution, and ability usage counters.

Each character row contains:

  • Portrait - Square character artwork on the left
  • Name - Character name in signature color
  • Time - Time controlled or active, with percentage share where available
  • Killed - Number of enemies killed by this character
  • Ability Icons - Circular icons with number badges showing usage counts

Characters may include playable heroes such as Yuki, Takuma, Mugen, Hayato, and Aiko, and some missions may include NPC or civilian rows with 0% time and 0 kills.

Continue Button

The Continue button is positioned at the bottom-right of the screen. Clicking it dismisses the results screen and advances the player to the next mission briefing, campaign hub, or main menu depending on campaign progression.

Job Story

When I have just completed a mission in Shadow Tactics, I want to review my performance statistics, see which challenge badges I earned, and compare how much I used each character and their abilities, so that I can understand my playstyle, identify missed challenges for future replay attempts, and feel a sense of accomplishment before moving on.

Parameters & Audio

ParameterValue
Screen OpenOrchestral sting or triumphant musical flourish when the results screen appears after mission completion, reinforcing the sense of accomplishment
Tab SwitchSubtle click or paper-rustle sound when switching between Statistics and Characters tabs
Badge EarnedDistinct positive chime or fanfare sound that plays when an earned badge is displayed; it may play sequentially as badges animate in
Badge LockedMuted dull thud or no sound for unearned badges, creating audio contrast with earned ones
Continue HoverSubtle hover sound when mousing over the Continue button
Continue ClickConfirmation sound that transitions into the next screen's audio, such as mission briefing music or campaign hub ambience
Background MusicThe mission's background music fades out as the results screen opens; a short post-mission musical theme may play during results review
Character Row RevealIf character rows animate in sequentially, each row may have a soft whoosh or page-turn sound

Dependencies & Logic

  • Mission completion state: The screen can only appear after the mission objective system confirms all primary objectives are fulfilled; it is not shown during gameplay or on mission failure
  • Difficulty setting: The displayed difficulty, such as "Hardcore", must match the difficulty selected at campaign start or changed via the mission menu
  • Statistics tracking: The game must continuously track during gameplay: elapsed time, save/load counts, alarm triggers, enemy/civilian kill counts, body discoveries, character deaths, and character-specific kill counts
  • Badge evaluation: Each mission's badge conditions must be evaluated against the play session data to determine earned vs. unearned status; badge definitions are mission-specific
  • Character ability tracking: The Characters tab requires per-character ability usage counters to be incremented each time an ability is activated during gameplay
  • Character roster: The Characters tab displays only characters that were available in the completed mission; some missions restrict the roster to a subset of heroes
  • Localization: All text elements (stat labels, badge descriptions, challenge conditions, button text) must be localized for the player's selected language
  • Save data: Statistics and badge progress may need to be persisted to save data for later review or achievement tracking
  • Campaign progression: The Continue button destination depends on whether the completed mission was the final mission or if more missions follow

BDD Scenarios

Scenario: Results screen appears after mission completion

Given
the player has just completed the final objective of a mission
When
the end-of-mission cutscene and dialogue conclude
Then
the post-mission results screen appears with the title "Mission Success - [Mission Name]"
And
the Statistics tab is active by default

Scenario: Review mission statistics

Given
the post-mission results screen is displayed
When
the player views the Statistics tab
Then
the left column displays: difficulty, completion time, save count, load count, alarm count, enemies killed, injuries suffered, civilians killed, bodies discovered, most kills, and most deaths
And
the right column displays the mission's challenge badges with earned badges highlighted

Scenario: Review earned badges

Given
the Statistics tab is visible
When
the player looks at the badge list
Then
earned badges display brighter icons with green text
And
unearned badges display dimmed icons with muted text
And
the bottom row shows additional challenge condition cards

Scenario: Switch to Characters tab

Given
the post-mission results screen is on the Statistics tab
When
the player clicks the "CHARACTERS" tab
Then
the panel updates to show a list of all characters that participated in the mission
And
each character row shows: portrait, name, time played with percentage where available, kill count, and ability usage icons with counts

Scenario: Continue to next mission

Given
the player has reviewed the mission results
When
the player clicks the "CONTINUE" button
Then
the results screen dismisses
And
the game transitions to the next mission briefing or campaign hub

Scenario: Perfect stealth run results

Given
the player completed a mission without triggering any alarms
When
the results screen appears
Then
"Alarm count" shows 0
And
the no-alarm badge is earned and highlighted in the badge list

Scenario: Review character ability usage

Given
the Characters tab is active
When
the player examines a character row
Then
each ability icon displays a number indicating how many times that ability was used during the mission
And
the character with the highest usage time is shown at the top or clearly identifiable

Scenario: Missed badge identification for replay planning

Given
the player has completed a mission and earned some but not all badges
When
the player reviews the unearned badges on the Statistics tab
Then
the greyed-out badge descriptions inform the player what conditions to meet on a future replay

Edge Cases

  • Mission completed with 0 kills: If the player completes a mission without killing any enemies (ghost run), "Enemies killed" shows 0/Y and "Most kills" may show "-" or the first character in roster; the UI should handle this gracefully
  • All characters died at least once: If every character died during the mission, "Most deaths" shows the character with the highest death count; if no deaths occurred, it shows "-"
  • No civilians in mission: Some missions have 0 civilians; the "Civilians killed" field should display "0/0" and not divide by zero
  • Badge condition edge cases: Badge evaluation must handle corner cases such as "kill within X seconds" where the timer starts from an event that may not have occurred
  • Tab switch during data load: If the player rapidly clicks between Statistics and Characters tabs while data is still being calculated, the UI should debounce and not show stale or mixed data
  • Continue button spam: Rapidly clicking Continue should only trigger the transition once; subsequent clicks should be ignored
  • Resolution/aspect ratio changes: The results screen should remain readable and properly aligned if the display resolution changes while the screen is open, such as Alt+Tab on multi-monitor setups
  • Missing character portrait: If a character portrait asset fails to load, the Characters tab should show a placeholder silhouette rather than breaking the layout
  • Localization fallback: If a badge description is missing for the player's language, it should fall back to English or show a generic placeholder
  • Alarm stat overflow: In theory, alarm count could exceed single-digit display space on very long missions; the UI should handle double-digit values
  • Timer overflow: Completion time exceeding 9:59:59 should still display correctly, such as 12:34:56
  • Ability usage count overflow: Ability counts exceeding 99 should still display legibly within the circular icon badge
  • Campaign final mission: On the last mission, the Continue button should transition to the campaign completion flow rather than the next mission loading screen
  • Co-op or multiplayer (if applicable): If the game supports co-op, the Characters tab may need to distinguish between player-controlled and AI-controlled characters

QA Notes

  • Verify the results screen appears automatically after every mission completion, without requiring manual input
  • Test that the Statistics tab is active by default when the screen first appears
  • Confirm all 11 statistics fields display correct values that match actual gameplay; cross-reference with internal telemetry if available
  • Verify the difficulty displayed matches the active difficulty setting, including mid-mission changes
  • Test badge evaluation: complete missions with specific conditions met/unmet and verify earned/unearned badge states
  • Confirm earned and unearned badge icon treatments are visually distinct
  • Test the Characters tab: verify all characters present in the mission appear, with correct time percentages summing to 100% where percentages are shown
  • Verify ability usage counts in the Characters tab match actual ability activations during gameplay
  • Test tab switching: click between Statistics and Characters repeatedly; verify no visual glitches or data corruption
  • Test the Continue button at different resolutions: 720p, 1080p, 4K, and ultrawide
  • Verify the Continue button advances to the correct next screen, such as next mission loading versus campaign completion
  • Test keyboard navigation: Enter/Space to continue, arrow keys or Tab to switch tabs
  • Verify the screen is dismissible only via Continue, with no Escape or click-outside close behavior unless explicitly supported
  • Test with different UI scale settings if available
  • Confirm all text elements are localized correctly and display without truncation
  • Verify decorative dividers and background artwork render correctly at all supported aspect ratios
  • Test rapid Continue button clicking to ensure no double-transition occurs
  • Verify statistics are persisted to save data for potential future review or leaderboard integration
  • Test edge case: complete a mission with 0 saves/0 loads and verify the display
  • Test edge case: complete a mission with 0 alarm count and verify the perfect stealth badge state
