- A Classic, Story-Driven cRPG: Shadowrun: Hong Kong 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, 15+ 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 its 25th anniversary. Shadowrun: Hong Kong is a 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: Just like Dragonfall, Shadowrun: Hong Kong features a crew of flawed, dangerous runners with backstories that could only be possible in the tech-meets-magic Shadowrun setting. 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. 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: Hong Kong’s classless skill system allows you to grow your character in any direction you choose.

8/10
Players who have already taken this trip with Shadowrun Returns and its expansion may find themselves wanting a bit with the gameplay, and newbies will have quite the learning curve to surmount, but if you see the gameplay as an adequate means to experience the more satisfying narrative end, Shadowrun: Hong Kong more than earns your attention.

8/10
What it lacks in new features it makes up for in improving old ones, such as a better experiences in the Matrix as well as improved interface options.

Players hungry for a meaty story should look no further. Players who want strategy will only find it sporadically

Great piece of work!
Its great if you can enjoy the writing, the art work, and the challenge. It's wonderfully written and the art work is amazing, especially the other Shadowrun games.

The game gets rigged roll, very rigged
In Dragonfall there were lots less spellcaster enemies so you might not notice, but in HK there are tons more so more likely would find cover does nothing for players. It blocks flank/critical shots for enemies but not players, and this include the ki protective spells. You'll miss more 99% than you miss 95% hits in battle brothers. It revamps tabletop rules so it feels like enemies get free Edge on them so they do better. With console command you can start with maximum agi elf character and first tutorial fight mobs would still hit him 1/3 of times. It also changes morale system of tabletop, where enemies flee dependent on their rank. Here enemies are all fearless rookies, fearless street s__m, etc.

A solid ride!
Shadowrun Hong Kong offers a wonderful isometric rpg experience with multiple ways to play, allowing for much replay value. The game is engaging with wonderful writing and characters in a not so normal cyberpunk setting. If you are a fan of rpgs you can't go wrong with Shadowrun Hong Kong. Unfortunately, there are a few gripes holding this game back from a perfect score. Unfortunately, there are occassional glitches which may force a save reload every now and then. In addition, the attributes do not give you exact information on what each level up does. Despite these issues, the game is a good experience for the most part and I whole heartedly recommend giving it a try.
