Shadowrun Returns

Alpha gameplay video up. Looking pretty slick, definitely one to keep an eye on.

Their kickstarter is over and done with long since, but they still have a preorder option for the kickstarter price (25% off), so something to consider if this wins you over.
Don't.

Okay. To me that looks incredibly cool. I am really looking forward to this game. This is starting to look good for the kickstarter cRPGs. Both Alpha videos have been extremely promising.

Thanks for sharing okiN!

Two days until release. I never played any Shadowrun titles, but I think this game looks pretty promising - a bit like the original Fallout games (gameplay-wise). I'm gonna wait until there are some reviews though. Probably...

I am still not convinced. I've watched every bit of footage I could find. It looks remarkably well made but those animations... Jesus, those look boring, lame, slow and... just "ugh".

I mean when I am playing an Orc, I wanna see him rip enemies to piece with brute force and not just bitchslap them once... It's just... the combat presentation is just sad and... well... boring. That's really holding me back right now...

It's like what? 1 or 2 more days till release?


I've had this game on my wishlist for a while, pretty excited

It's also coming out on ios, and now that BG got removed from the App Store, this may be the only hardcore serious rpg on mobile

Playing it at the moment. I'm loving it. Graphically it's damn pretty. Animations are perhaps the only fault there. Sounds assets are great, which make for a great atmosphere.

And so far I'm loving the story. One hour in, anyway.

Is there a save function? i have found only autosaves at some checkpoints.

Played it for 3 hours now. Didn't notice the time pass.

My main problem with the game is the lack of a save system. Currently it relies on checkpoints, although, I haven't had to redo anything yet.

Otherwise, I really like the atmosphere, story, sound assets and graphics. The only downside is the animations which are a tad clunky. The UI is easy to navigate and understand, and the combat is easy to understand and fluid. Haven't encountered any bugs.

Playing a Dwarf Mage called Steely Greg :lol: Mainly spend my time nuking stuff and healing, but there are some buff/debuff spells as well. But I prefer the ones that combine debuffs with damage.

Looking forward to the user created content, and I hope they do well enough to make a Shadowrun 2. That fixes the few remaining issues in the original.

So far, based on my first impressions, I'd give the game a 8.5/10, dragged down primarily due to lack of manual saving.

Awesome game, highly recommend it atm. Only played 6 hours, but got a really good impression of it. I like the writing and setting, and some choices you can make on the way. Combat seems decent atm. It appears to be quite linear though

About the save game system, I can see it getting annoying if you have a crash or you make a mistake part way through an area, but I find it quite refreshing to have to live with the consequences and I'm having to make choices as I go. It seems like a concious decision by the devs and I like it atm. In games like Fallout I'll be hitting F5 all the time and making separate saves so I can go back if I don't like an outcome. I'm sure it will make for some tense moments as the difficulty ramps up, as it seems to be atm

I agree with the consequences part. I do put more thought in to what I say, without manual saving.

So, I haven't played the original Shadowrun, but the optional missions bug me.
