Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut
Description
NOTE: The Director’s Cut is free to existing owners of the Dragonfall expansion for Shadowrun Returns.
Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director’s Cut is a standalone release of Harebrained Schemes' critically-acclaimed Dragonfall campaign, which first premiered as a major expansion for Shadowrun Returns. The Director's Cut adds a host of new content and enhancements to the original game: 5 all-new missions, alternate endings, new music, a redesigned interface, team customization options, a revamped combat system, and more - making it the definitive version of this one-of-a-kind cyberpunk RPG experience.
In 2012, magic returned to our world, awakening powerful creatures of myth and legend. Among them was the Great Dragon Feuerschwinge, who emerged without warning from the mountains of Germany, unleashing fire, death, and untold destruction across the countryside. It took German forces nearly four months to finally shoot her down - and when they did, their victory became known as The Dragonfall.
It’s 42 years later - 2054 - and the world has changed. Unchecked advances in technology have blurred the line between man and machine. Elves and trolls walk among us, ruthless corporations bleed the world dry, and Feuerschwinge’s reign of terror is just a distant memory. Germany is splintered - a stable anarchy known as the “Flux State” controls the city of Berlin. It’s a place where power is ephemeral, almost anything goes, and the right connections can be the difference between success and starvation. For you and your team of battle-scarred shadowrunners, there’s no better place to earn a quick payday.
Now, a new threat is rising, one that could mean untold chaos and devastation. One that soon has you and your team caught on the wrong side of a deadly conspiracy. The only clue: whispers of the Dragonfall. Rumors that the Great Dragon Feuerschwinge may still be alive, waiting for the right moment to return…
Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director’s Cut Features:
A Classic, Story-Driven cRPG: See why PC Gamer hailed Dragonfall as “one of the most memorable and complex RPG stories of the decade.” Dragonfall hearkens back to the golden age of computer RPG’s with a novel-like branching narrative full of sharp prose and deep character development. Immerse yourself in a smart, 20+ hour campaign with a diverse cast of all-too-human characters.
A One-of-a-Kind Cyberpunk Setting: Experience the unique “Tech meets Magic” dystopian future of Shadowrun, a fan-favorite game setting now celebrating it’s 25th anniversary. Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director’s Cut is the perfect entry point to the setting for those with no prior Shadowrun experience, while providing plenty of classic Shadowrun characters and tech for veteran players to sink their teeth into.
Command Your Team: Lead a small team of shadowrunners - each with their own outlook, motivations, and backstory. The members of your team are designed to play contrasting roles during missions, and each has a distinct set of skills, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. But it’s not all about the mission - each team member also has challenges to face in their own lives, which you can choose to brush aside or play an important part in.
Gripping, Turn-Based Tactical Combat: When you’re running the shadows, every turn matters. Choose your actions wisely - move to better cover, charge into melee, or lob a fireball into a crowd of enemies. With over 200 weapons and spells at your disposal, every turn is filled with meaningful choices.
Skill-Based Character Progression: Choose a starting character archetype and build from there! Street Samurai and Physical Adepts use advanced combat skills to dominate the battlefield, Shamans and Mages summon powerful allies and cast deadly spells, while Riggers and Deckers provide critical technological support, projecting their consciousness directly into drones and computer systems. Shadowrun: Dragonfall’s classless skill system allows you to grow your character in any direction you choose.
New in the Director’s Cut:
Standalone: Due to popular demand, Dragonfall is now a completely standalone title!
Five All-New Missions: The Director’s Cut features five all-new original missions, including three related directly to the personal stories of your team members. These missions take you to previously-unseen locales - both within the Flux State and beyond - where you’ll have to face challenging enemies and make tough choices in order to help your team members prevail.
Revamped Combat System: The Dragonfall combat system has received a major overhaul. An all-new armor system adds another tactical layer to the experience, while refined cover and damage mechanics emphasize the importance of battlefield positioning. Complementing these improvements is an upgraded AI system which reacts more intelligently and accurately to your actions.
Redesigned Interface: The Dragonfall in-game interface has also been rebuilt. Spells, items and abilities are now much easier to access, while improved combat feedback allows you to fully understand the tactical situation in any given encounter.
Customize Your Team: Guide your team members as they progress in each of their unique roles, choosing between different focus options to grant them new items and abilities. In addition, if you don’t like a team member’s default spell, item or weapon loadout, you can now customize what they bring on each mission.
Ten New Pieces of Original Music: Fan-favorite composer Jon Everist brings ten new tracks of moody cyberpunk music to the Dragonfall experience, including compositions based on the stories of individual members of your team.
The Complete Dragonfall Soundtrack: As a free bonus, the Director’s Cut includes the entire soundtracks from both Dragonfall AND our previous title, Shadowrun Returns. This also includes the brand new tracks exclusive to the Director’s Cut. Featuring music from the composers of the classic Shadowrun SEGA and SNES games, this exciting cyberpunk soundtrack pays homage to the past with a modern sentiment.

Shadowrun at it best ... for now
Great Game, misses some features that are standard nowadays like swapiing items between companions the easy way but it capture the spirit of Shadowrun.

Expansion released as a Stand-Alone game
A light cRPG with simple turn based combat. This was originally the second campaign for the game Shadowrun Returns, but the developer repackaged the "Dragonfall" campaign as it's own game, with a bunch of extra content and mechanics as a Director's Cut. I played the original when it first released, (it was a Kickstarter Project), and did think that the "Dragonfall" adventure was better than the "Dead Man Switch" campaign in Shadowrun Returns. I have since returned and played the Director's Cut release as well. There is no connection between the storylines of Shadowrun Returns and Dragonfall, so it doesn't matter if you play this one second, or skip the first one completely. Dragonfall seems longer and is probably the better written story. I think I encountered one soft-lock crash during my playthrough, but no serious bugs or crashes. Both this game and Shadowrun Returns stories start as simple jobs that become massive conspiracies, and both address major plot elements in the Shadowrun Universe. (Shadowrun was a popular tabletop RPG in the 1990s and so the background lore is detailed and expansive). Dragonfall includes an entire "crew", your team of Shadowrunners, (basically criminals for hire), the four of them pretty much cover the common archetypes, so regardless of the character you create, (and there are many options), you'll have a good team. You can only take four people on most missions, so you have to leave one person behind for the most part. The game includes a lot of skill and stat options that only the main character can take advantage of however, your teammates can't sub into every challenge for you. Combat seems inspired by the XCOM remakes, cover is very important, and each unit gets a number of action points to spend each turn. It's pretty simple, but this game adds a few things Shadowrun Returns didn't have, like body armour, which reduces damage and can increase stats. Out of combat, the game is largely a point and click adventure with an isometric view, you can converse with some but not most NPCs. There is no voice acting, but the game isn't overwritten, conversations are usually short and to the point. I played on normal difficulty and found some combats quite difficult, although it largely was an RNG issue with enemies getting lucky crits. Especially early in the game, the game isn't generous with healing items on the first mission or two, however, I didn't realise until much later that your teammates equipment is replaced on each mission. (Your own consumable items have to be re-purchased). Healing spells in the game only heal the last hit a character has taken, so can't restore you to full health it you take more than one hit. So, the combat is simple but challenging, the story is well written, and the Shadowrun setting, (Cyberpunk with Elves, Trolls, magic and Dragons), is an interesting one. Definitely worth checking out.

Old school garbage
Trash controls - needed to google what the keybinds even where. Fixed camera - good luck clicking into the void wondering if it's an ok position Old school xcom bs difficulty - yeah, 99% sure Very limited skill set and interface - more limited than games 10 years older if you can believe it. Take this with a grain of salt because I could not be bothered to finish the intro mission
