Cute little RPG

Who said linear RPGs can't be good? The good: - Writing: It has some of the funniest dialog I've seen in games. The game is worth it just for that. - Turn-based combat system: Has its flaws, but overall I liked it a lot. - Scratches the RPG itch: If you're into D&D and boardgames in general, chances are you'll like Shadowrun Returns. - The atmosphere is great! This is of course a matter of personal taste but I really dig the artwork and overall atmosphere of the game. The bad: - Like I said previously, the combat system has its flaws. Doesn't ruin the experience but RNG can get you some strange situations every now and then. - It's not SUPER long. I finished the whole thing in less than 15 hours I believe but I kinda want to do a re-run with a different character at some point. Overall I feel like I've got way more than my money's worth out of this game.

Pulpy cyberpunk goodness

This game is a romp, no two ways about it. Yes, it's a linear campaign, but it's a fun, well-told and occasionally tongue-in-cheek story with a great atmosphere. Combat (of which there is lots) is absorbing and fast-moving for a turn-based game. The checkpoint-save thing is no longer an issue: an update has given us quicksave/load keys, which should stop you gnawing your arm off in frustration. And there is a certain satisfaction that comes from playing as a lightning-hurling, mainframe-bothering dwarf in combat gear.

Arcanum 2054

Arcanum 2054, that was my first thought regarding Shadowrun Returns. - This unusual setting combines sci-fi with fantasy, virtual reality with magic, cyborgs with elves, orcs and DRAGONS! But let's not get ahead of ourselves, the game itself plays out more like a detective story, interrupted by short combat sequences. - First off, you need to understand this game was developed with smartphones and tablets in mind, alongside PC's. In this context the dated and simplistic graphics start making more sense. It also explains the lack of voice acting. It's a game made on a smaller budget that still manages to punch above its weight. - The gameplay is similar to Fallout 1 & 2, Wasteland 2, X-com, Arcanum; the world is seen from an isometric perspective, explored in real-time while the encounters are resolved in turn-based combat. - What truly stands out is the CYBERPUNK setting. It lends itself to the characters you interact with as well as the situations you're put in, giving them a unique charm. - Two bumps I've encountered that hindered my overall enjoyment. Picking a team for the very first time left me very confused since I didn't understand their abilities. For your first playthrough I suggest avoiding "riggers" and "deckers". They just slow down the entire pacing of the game. - My second bump was the Matrix. While I appreciate the developers intentions, their execution of this virtual world is kind of WEAK. Luckily, you're only required to enter the Matrix a couple of times during the story. - On a final note, I have to mention the mods. The Shadowrun Trilogy has mods that feature entire singleplayer campaigns, some of them on par with the official campaigns. Check them out over at Nexusmods.com

Best old school, isometric RPG in ages!

I was a little uncertain about picking this game, but finally caved in and bought it. What I found is easily one of the most fulfilling games I've played in a long time. A popular complaint with this game is that it doesn't give you branching plot arcs (in its base campaign). In fact, it doesn't even let you customize the gear of your squad mates. Honestly though, I didn't feel like either of these detracted from the experiance, as the story present is well written (barring a few typos). Be advised though; there is literally no voice acting in the base campaign, so if you don't like reading a ton in your games....best move along. The locked gear on hired squad mates also felt pretty logical; these are people who are teaming up with you on a contract basis, not dolls who you can dress up as you please. They have their own favourite weapons and tools. Combat is exceptionally well done. All abilities fit well, and I never felt like any character was useless or rendered obsolete by another class (hi Dragon Age!). The way character progression works also keeps you and your enemies from ever feeling over powered. So, clearly I loved this game. What's wrong? Bugs. This game has some serious bugs, and I don't mean the kind you shoot at. I had armor sets vanish from my stash and character, only to reappear later under no specific conditions. Best people I can recommend this game to: Icewind Dale fans, and I suppose Fallout: Tactics players.

OK

Too bad that the dialogs aren't voiced, but otherwise a relatively good game
