Kickstarted by fans of the SNES classic, it blends character customization, an engaging story line, great design, and a solid tactical-combat system with great aplomb." - The Verge“Shadowrun Returns drops players headfirst into this richly realized fiction, combining classic role-playing storytelling with modern tactical battles . . . running the shadows has never been more fun.” - 8.5/10 – Game Informer 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. 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. 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:- The complete Shadowrun Returns campaign (12+ hours of gameplay) now optimized for touchscreen input- Explore a grim cyberpunk future where magic and technology rule the streets- Make every action count in gripping, turn-based tactical combat- Create and customize your character from one of six unique archetypes - Over 350 different weapons, spells and abilities: sling fireballs, kneecap enemies with your shotgun, or roundhouse kick them in the face!***NOTE: Shadowrun Returns requires an iPad2 or newer to run. A WiFi connection is required for download. Please ensure you have approximately 1.6 GB of storage space.

Has it changed? awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #9 awp69, Nov 25, 2013 Have all the initial bugs been fixed? Is there sound now? I imagine the same save system is there that even PC players weren't particularly excited about? (That last one alone would probably be a deal breaker for me just because of how I tend to play mobile games in smaller bursts) PeteOzzy Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2013 4,596 3 0 Norwich, England #10 PeteOzzy, Nov 25, 2013 Just fired it up on my iPad 2 and it works smoothly and with sound. The save system is definitely not perfect but it is something you get used to. Some people seem to have crash issues but I've been lucky enough to avoid any As for the gameplay, it's a tactical RPG a little like XCOM etc. So definitely not a twin-stick shooter. Very lore-driven, if you take your time to read through everything available there's a lot to enjoy. Not to mention, it's a very good game in it's own right pouffie Well-Known Member Aug 4, 2013 189 0 16 #11 pouffie, Nov 25, 2013 Mmmm, buy it or wait for inevitable Christmas sale? iwon't have the time to play it anyway...

It's a great game otherwise, but I'd be hesitant to buy knowing what I know now as an iPad mini or iPad 2 owner. The save points are quite far apart so the crashing is a major issue that has caused me to lose as much progress as I have gained, possibly more. I really hope it gets fixed but it's been a while now... Based Xatu Well-Known Member Aug 27, 2013 1,937 0 0 #14 Based Xatu, Nov 26, 2013 When will this come to iphone?

This game is highly recommended. If you like the classic Fallout 1 and 2 (and Fallout Tactics to some extent), GET THIS. biokid Well-Known Member Jul 11, 2013 931 0 0 Wop Wops #17 biokid, Nov 26, 2013 If you dislike Fallout series, you should still get this!

Nekku Well-Known Member May 31, 2013 1,539 6 38 #20 Nekku, Nov 26, 2013 ^sure There are many classes and class combinations which will provide a different gameplay experience each in terms of world mechanics, conversations and especially battles. Story is a lil bit too short, imo. But it's an easy recommendation. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
