I never played any of the video games but I played the pencil & paper RPG and always thought it was a fantastic setting. I'm gonna pledge $15 to this to essentially pre-order.Shoot Straight. Conserve Ammo. And Never Cut a Deal With A Dragon.
Jordan Weisman, the creator of Shadowrun, is back and Shadowrun Returns (for Apple & Android tablets and PCs) is the game that Shadowrun fans have been waiting for a long time. A graphically rich 2D turn-based single player game with deep story interaction, meaningful character development, and highly-contextual tactical combat, Shadowrun Returns is not only going to make some old geeks (like us) very happy but it will introduce new players to a dynamic gaming universe that is beloved around the world.
Created almost 25 years ago, Shadowrun remains one of the most original and cherished role-playing settings. The game world’s origin story mashes-up the dystopian Cyberpunk future of a Blade Runner with the high fantasy creatures and races of a Lords of the Rings in an organic way that produces iconic characters, environments, and situations.

Re: Yup, Another Kickstarter - Shadowrun Returns
I just did so myself. I've never played the PnP - in fact, I've only played the latest iteration (which lasted all of 10 minutes before I uninstalled it) - I'd love to try this new game, and even the old tabletop RPG.

They've just reached the $400,000 goal with tons of time to spare. Man, I'm loving turn-based RPGs coming back.

Oooooh my!
I'm pretty sure I've put more into Kickstarter in the past three months than I put into triple-A titles in all of last year. So glad to see these companies getting a chance to make the games they want to make.
Doubly glad that the games getting made are ones that I'll enjoy!

How's about some gameplay footage?
Holy smokes, I'm really impressed, especially by the AI! Oh man, the zany wacky adventures my Ork (likely Shaman) is going to get into.

OK, just watching through the first minute, and that does look pretty cool. I'm not a particular fan of this sub-genre ("FuturePunk"?...), but I'm glad their Kickstarter was so successful that Mac and Linux versions will be produced. If they put out a demo of this, I'll definitely check it out...sirdilznik wrote:How's about some gameplay footage?

Re: Yup, Another Kickstarter - Shadowrun Returns
definitely reminds me of the old super nes game combined with the pnp game.
gameplay was pretty cool, kind of reminds me of the new xcom style.

The armies joined in a bloody battle on this fine day, then storm clouds broke, and it rained.
