Fan content for SR: Dragonfall
It is not. Ironically, Dragonfall was originally released as an expansion to this game, but, because it was a vastly superior campaign, it was later re-released as a stand-alone game. Play that first. Then SR: Hong Kong. If you still want more, this game has the same engine and mechanics, but feels much more generic in every aspect. You don't have a party, but assemble a team of mercenaries on a per-mission basis. Some missions may have either a mandatory member, or a heavily suggested one, but, otherwise, the relationship is purely professional - no dialogue, no backstories. Available archetypes play differently but have a negligible effect on dialogue or available options - with a proper background you can bypass some small fights, and that's it. The story, as every review states, is very linear and quite crazy. Saying it's badly written would be too harsh, but it certainly feels as if the concept was laid out by an enthusiast in their early teens, and offers nothing memorable. Pair that it was already an old-school, indie, low-budget title, targeting also mobile devices in 2012, and you get a properly vintage experience, and not in the 'cult-classic' sense. It's not that it aged badly: the gameplay is still solid. It simply aged, and did not distinguish itself to begin with. The only unique aspect - the strange fantasy cyberpunk combination - isn't particularly significant to the story, which could be easily rethemed to almost any setting, and still play the same.
