MAN MEETS MAGIC & MACHINE. 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.
Thankfully the game is finally properly available on Steam with a nice tux icon for Linux and all! It's on my wishlist that's for sure!
The unique cyberpunk-meets-fantasy world of Shadowrun has gained a huge cult following since its creation nearly 25 years ago. Now, creator Jordan Weisman returns to the world of Shadowrun, modernizing this classic game setting as a single player, turn-based tactical RPG.

Key Features
- Gripping Tactical Combat: When you’re running the shadows, every turn matters. Choose your actions wisely - move to better cover, charge into melee, or lob a fireball into a crowd of enemies. With the variety of weapons and spells at your disposal, every turn is filled with meaningful choices. A successful run requires commanding a team of runners with the right balance of combat, tech, and magical abilities.
- Skill-Based Character Progression: Choose a starting character archetype and build from there! Street Samurai and Physical Adepts use advanced combat skills to dominate the battlefield, Shamans and Mages summon powerful allies and cast deadly spells, while Riggers and Deckers provide critical technological support, projecting their consciousness directly into drones and computer systems. Shadowrun Returns’ classless skill system allows you to grow your character in any direction you choose. Want to start summoning spirits as an ork Shaman and evolve into a cybered-up weapon specialist? Do it!
- Engaging 2D/3D Art Style: Shadowrun Returns mixes dynamic 3D characters and lighting with a vibrant, hand-painted environment. Illustrated character portraits bring every conversation to life. Explore a world filled with detail, from the slums of the Redmond Barrens to the extravagant offices of powerful corporations.

Voicing all dialogs reduces the writers' freedom. The vast majority of kickstarter backers specifically ask for RPGs to prioritize the richness and quantity of dialogs over voice acting them.
Personnally, when dialogs have voice, I always find myself reading the subtitles because it's much faster. Though I like to have a couple lines voiced for the atmosphere.

I've been playing through the beta, I'm 11 hours in with not much in the way of an end in site yet. I haven't hit any bugs of any kind so far. All very slick. There is a lot of reading in this game, but that's good for atmosphere. It could use more/better audio generally though. A lot of the scenes do lack a bit of atmosphere, but the fighting mechanic is robust, very XCom-like over all. I've really enjoyed this one and glad I backed it on Kickstarter. It's been a lot of fun so far.
