Description



System Shock: Enhanced Edition also includes the classic 32-bit version of the game.

You're a renowned hacker, the most notorious cyberspace thief in the corporate world. Caught during a risky break-in, you become indentured to Diego, a greedy Trioptium exec who bankrolls a rare cyberjack implant operation. After six months in a healing coma, you awaken to the twisted aftermath of a terrible disaster. Where are the surgeons? Why is the station in such disrepair? Slowly, the chilling realization that something is very wrong creeps over you.
Once a prime corporate research facility, Citadel now teems with mindless cyborgs, robots and terribly mutated beings, all programmed to serve SHODAN, a ruthless A.I. There's scarcely time to think before it unleashes the first terror...

Exactly twenty one years after its first release, System Shock is back!
The Enhanced Edition adds a modern touch to this true classic gem, without taking anything from its unmistakable atmosphere.
See for yourself that the game that has been called the benchmark for intelligent first-person gaming, has lost nothing of its ability to keep you on the edge of your seat.

System Shock: Enhanced Edition features:
- Higher resolution support: up to 1024x768, and 854x480 widescreen mode.
- Mouselook support added.
- Remappable keys with three profiles to choose from: original controls, custom controls, and lefthanded controls.
- Some original game bugs fixed.
  • Rocket through cyberspace to steal information, hack security and grapple with watchdog defense programs enslaved to a maniacal computer.
  • Survive battle after battle against armies of killer cyborgs and deadly robots as you collect hardware attachments, life-sustaining patches and deadly weapons to combat mindless mutants.
  • Test your intelligence by solving puzzles, rewiring access panels and outwitting SHODAN in its own cyber-realm.
  • Enjoy the vastly improved controls and graphics of the Enhanced Edition - or keep your experience as close to the original as possible with the Classic version.

Very immersive.

Although takes some time to get used to, it's a very enjoyable game.

audiologs and cyborgs

Had few attempts before, but couldn't get through the UI and cyberspace. Not this time! I'm surprised at how good this game is and loved how SHODAN had a back up plan for a back up plan. I've heard people were complaining about a number of guns being useless, which is kinda true. I've used a Stun gun once and dropped immediately, didn't use a rail gun too often because of the splash damage (same thing with grenades), shot few tranquillizer darts but those weren't effective at all, dropped using energy weapons in the late game because I prioritized saving up energy for the energy shield. So I used regular guns for the most time. The controls are janky. It's not that much of a problem for the most time, but it hinders platforming sections or sections where you would appreciate better movability. I'm glad I've heard about writing down numbers near computer nodes so I didn't have to backtrack. The only time I've got stuck was at the Executive (7) level. The audiolog said something about security numbers being shuffled near the elevator, and indeed there were numbers. There was even a camera to show you the numbers without backtracking, but both codes were incorrect. Apparently the code was located in cyberspace, I just had to check cyberspace notes. I wonder why is everyone referring SHODAN with male pronouns when both her voice and avatar have feminine features. Did they've changed it after writing things down? my main regret is basically skipping the Security section by entering the middle tower via rocketboots and speed booster

Masterpiece

Headsup, new update adds microstutter, to revert back to previous version, click the More button next to play. then select manage then select configure. Click the previous version and your game will revert back. Removes microstutter entirely. Also install Reshade it actually works and the game looks completely different. This game has some of the best level designs, maze like, and the art style is outstanding.
