    Shadowrun Return is a great RPG, and its addictive gameplay makes you forget some minor glitches you can encounter. This steampunk version of Seattle is remarkable, and if you want some engaging turn based action this is definitely the game you are looking for.

    Shadowrun Returns is a great PC RPG experience that translates well to the iPad. Hopefully it receives more campaigns in the future.

    Ultimately, Shadowrun Returns is a great game that does an excellent job of not only drawing players into the Shadowrun world, but doing so while delivering an option-laden classic RPG experience.

    It might not hit the right notes all the time, but Shadowrun Returns has enough going for it to make it an easy recommendation.

    My time with Shadowrun Returns has certainly turned me into a fan of this game, despite its current level of glitchiness.

    Shadowrun Returns is an inspired blend of science fiction, fantasy, and film noir, giving gamers an intricate mystery to investigate. It may cost a pretty penny, but if you need hours of alone time with your iPad, this app should definitely do the trick, especially if you’re in a Seattle state of mind.

    For lovers of classic, in depth role-playing like they used to make, Shadowrun Returns is a terrific and engaging adventure.
