Cyberpunk + Magic. Awesome.

Excellent intro into the Shadowrun universe. Turn based combat, great artwork (take a careful look at the scenery around town for some laughs), and a very open format character development system. A few bugs on occasion, but nothing a few minutes research on the forums won't cure. This *is* a short adventure, just one single campaign to locate whoever flatlined an old friend, and make them pay. However, the way the missions are set up, there are multiple ways to succeed, so you can probably replay the campaign several times with different play styles and still enjoy it each time. If you are into Cyberpunk, or you enjoyed the Fallout series of games (isometric, turn based, apocalyptic RPG) you'll enjoy this game. If you liked the movie Bladerunner, you'll enjoy this game too (Bladerunner + magic + metahumans...what's not to like?) They got the flavor of the Shadowrun setting just right, and I enjoyed it so much I'm going to buy the other Shadowrun game they offer here on GOG - and I'm not waiting for a sale on it either. Buy it chummer, then chip in, and enjoy the ride...its Better Than Life.

Good game, buy the other one though.

Shadowrun return is an enjoyable rpg set in the Shadowrun universe. It is however not perfect. The included campaign is rather short and linear. However there is a good number of fan made campaigns available. This is important, as the game was made with user created campaigns in mind. I still feel they could have included at least 1 more though. I finished the included campaign in around 8-10 hours I think, and it could have been faster since it was very linear. Still enjoyable though. Anyways, Shadowrun Dragonfall is supposed to be an improvement (haven't tried it yet), and a lot of newer user campaigns need Dragonfall to run. So you get a better value for your money by buying Shadowrun Dragonfall instead.

Great game, even for nonfan of originals

Just so you know where I'm coming from, I had never played the original game(s) and thus have no opinon of them, and I'm not obsessed with cyberpunk or dystopian futures, but I played the main game to completion and enjoyed it. Some people complained that the game was too linear, but I have nothing to compare it to, so that's not a complaint of mine. Some people say that the turn-based combat is a tad simplistic, but again (aside from it perhaps getting a bit repetitive near the end) I had nothing against it. These days I'm completing less and less games, so I was very happy to find one I was motivated to play all the way through: Interesting story, interesting world, engrossing gameplay, while it may not have been the greatest games ever or anything, it checked all the boxes for a great experience. As far as the technical stuff goes, played it on Linux on a fairly weak laptop, and had no technical hitches.

Fantastic game that captures the SR feel

I've been a fan of Shadowrun since a friend got me into the pen and paper RPG in the early 90's. I've played every video game adaptation that's been made over the years, and while I still think the Genesis version is the most faithful adaptation of the Shadowrun rules and flavor, this game is a very close second. Sure, it may be quite linear, but in my opinion linearity is not an edge or a flaw - it is simply an attribute. If linearity doesn't bother you, and you like the idea of the cyberpunk genre getting all mashed together with orks and magic, or if you are just an old school Shadowrun fan from way back, then by all means give this game a try. There are all sorts of shout outs to classic Shadowrun products, from the protagonist of the SNES adaptation to one of the big movers and shakers of a 90's era module series to the golden-eyed CEO of one of the biggest corps in the world. The patch, available as a separate download from the installer, even includes the ability to manually save your game, and there is a ton of user generated content available online to continue your runner's story after you finish the base campaign...or you can use the campaign editor to create your own content.

Great Tactical RPG

I love this game. Some may hate it cause it is not as in depth of a storyline as Bioware RPG's but is based on a pen and paper linear style. I enjoyed the main game and I like the fact I can transfer my character to another user made game. The combat is well developed. It is close too the new Xcom which I like. The save system sucks, especially if you are playing user made mods which crashes often when trying to save. Probably just the map I was playing. Besides these minor complaints, I highly recommend this game.
