Shadowrun Returns Overview
Shadowrun Returns is a single-player tactical RPG based upon the original Shadowrun tabletop game. shadowrun Returns was funded through Kickstarter, with original Shadowrun creator Jordan Weisman as lead designer, intending to create a more faithful adaptation of the source. With a blend of science and fantasy, it takes place in 2054 and features races such as Elves and Trolls set against a backdrop in which mega-corporations have taken over. Combat in the game is turn-based, using an AP system, and players will be able to choose their weapons.
Choose from five races and six classes (or a seventh option - no set class) and develop your character's traits. You are a shadowrunner and the included campaign (more are available from the community) embroiling you in a mysterious investigation into the murder of a friend, which widens into a much more complex and threatening situation.
