Shadowrun Returns!
Shadowrun is a franchise that I have to assume most people aren’t familiar with a pen and paper roleplaying game that made its way onto the SNES in 1993 along with two other self-titled games on the Sega Genesis and Sega CD each quite different from the others.
Shadowrun then briefly made its way onto the Xbox 360 with a class based multiplayer only FPS that left fans of the franchise wanting a game more in tune with the originals. Luckily fans of the original pen and paper, and video games have the chance to delve into the Shadowrun universe again with a more traditional take on the franchise thanks to Shadowrun Returns.
The year is 2054. Magic has returned to the world, awakening powerful creatures of myth and legend. Technology merges with flesh and consciousness. Elves, trolls, orks and dwarves walk among us, while ruthless corporations bleed the world dry. You are a shadowrunner — a mercenary living on the fringes of society, in the shadows of massive corporate arcologies, surviving day-by-day on skill and instinct alone. When the powerful or the desperate need a job done, you get it done… by any means necessary.
Shadowrun Returns is available on Steam for $19.99
