    SCORE: 10/10 ( and I am picky about my reviews and will often give amazing games around 9.0-9.5 due to minor issues). This game just transcends even otherwise stellar games due to it's flawless combination of turn-based strategy and RPG elements in a world that is gritty, believable, and engaging.

    If X-COM and Fire Emblem had a baby in the Matrix, this would be it. Shadowrun Dragonfall is even better than Shadowrun Returns, both of which are just a breath of fresh air in the RPG and turn-based strategy worlds.

    This has all the turn-based goodness of X-COM and FIre Emblem, but all the RPG mastery of Divinity Original Sin and the best of Dragon Age.

    The story is truly exciting. But the WRITING ITSELF IS PHENOMENAL. It is as good as the best sci-fi novel, with details and scene setting that takes your mind to details that the already superb graphics don't.

    I have already backed Shadowrun: Hong Kong and look forward to whatever this studio tries to do. But they have pretty much combined my two favorite genres into a perfect game.    … Expand

    wow, this game amazed me, though I have played the first one and liked it, this is MUCH better! Similar to Bioware's games when it comes to character portraits and overall feel, but often surpasses those games in pure heart and cleverness. For those of you who prefer character interaction and story over loot and menu fiddling.

    The game has a great tactical turn-based system. I really love the improvements they made to the combat system in the DC. The fights are a bit more challenging but it feels like you have more control over the outcome. Melee oriented characters are a lot more viable than they were in SRR. My physical adept kicks ass because can run in there and flank an enemy in full cover. Of course if I do something stupid like end my turn with him standing out in the open, he'll get slaughtered.    … Expand

    Ticking at 45h of playtime (for me) its well worth the price tag. If they would make more campaigns for it of similar or higher quality i would buy them all anytime anywhere.

    Fantastic game. One of the best CRPGS in a long time. Do yourself a favor and play it. Words don't do it much justice. No wonder their new Shadowrun game reached its kickstarter goal in a few hours. Makes most of the big budget titles look small.

The biggest flaw is linearity, the hub design, which Harebrainded Schemes had tried to hide under a few tricks, like having a choice in which order to take most missions, or having an ingame internet forum from which the player may get a feeling of being a part of a bigger world. The missions are fun, often having contradicting objectives, and a few ways of doing them. Some of them are outsanding like the Lodge mission when the player is assigned to the team consisting entirely of strangers, with whom he must cooperate, even if the squad looks like it is going to fall apart any minute. Combat is fun, but playing on very hard is advised to make it enyojable. Encounter design is very strong, which is especially evident in APEX mission in which the player has to defend 3 points with 4 people against the swarm of enemies, some of which can stun the player for a turn.

    1) Access the developer console by pressing "Alt" + "~". It's Alt plus the tilde key, which is left of the 1 key. 2) On the right side, click where it says Cheats. 3) Click the cheat called Kill.

    2) On the right side, click where it says Cheats.
    3) Click the cheat called Kill. This will kill all of your enemies, and this somehow unfreezes the game. I don't know why it works, but it does.

    This fixes almost all of the problems found in Shadowrun Returns.
    * Dragonfall is significantly longer than Shadowrun Returns.
    * The combat is a more central part of the game.
    * The combat sequences are much longer, so they require some degree of strategy, but they are not too difficult.
    * Every type of character is useful. Deckers are useful. Melee characters are useful. Gun characters are useful. Magic users are useful. I'm going to play through this game multiple times with multiple different strategies.
    * I like all of the characters. Each one has their own personality and their own story.
    * The game has a lot of interesting moral choices. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but there was a mission where I changed my mind twice as the mission progressed.

    I still have a few criticisms of the game.

    I found it very difficult to keep track of who was who. The game is in Germany, so groups have German names. I can't remember what the group connected to the pay phone is called. Schadenfrazelpowerasdfasdf? There was a mission where I can either deliver a secret weapon to The Lodge or to some other guy that I can't remember the name of. This screws up the moral choice system because I don't fully understand what my choices are. It might help if the game had some kind of in-game reference as I met people, sort of like Assassin's Creed has. If I get a mission from some guy named Fred Fuchs, I could look it up in the reference to see a picture and maybe a paragraph about him.

    The load times in this game are brutal. The game is much smaller than something like Fallout 4 or Skyrim, but the load times are much worse. It's a total mystery. Thankfully, scene changes don't happen too often for this to be a problem.    … Expand

    Powered by high quality writing, Dragonfall DC is not the title which can be fully appreciated with skimming    Every few years there comes a game that, in a word, becomes unforgettable. It is the type of game that you will look back on a decade later and remember just about everything about it. Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut happens to join that pantheon of timeless classics.

    Powered by high quality writing, Dragonfall DC is not the title which can be fully appreciated with skimming over the mountains of dialogue that is presented. Many times can an RPG game be too excessive or verbose, but Dragonfall DC never crosses that line and instead keeps the immersion level high. To truly appreciate the depth, one would have to play this in solitude and allow their mind to be swept into a world where the mystical mingles with the technological, thoughts can freely traverse the intangible, dark themes and plots are expected and where order clashes with anarchy. This is more than a campaign, but a deliberate sprinkle of everything the cyberpunk world of Shadowrun prides itself on.

    Perhaps what Dragonfall DC advocates most and what many newer titles in recent times have forgotten to embellish is choice. Decisions in your interaction with NPCs shape your roleplay of your character greatly, giving them a personality according to your vision while missions or 'shadowruns' can be confronted in a number of ways. A mission which may see you endure a brutal shoot out with a highly trained group of security personnel may have been resolved through sheer cloak and dagger by another or sweet talked by with ease for the more charismatic. There is a pool here that the developers are not afraid to fill the deep ends up with.

    But all the choice and decisions in the world fail if the world itself fails to grab the player, and thankfully can Shadowrun be seen as anything but generic or feeling like a retread in familiar territory. This is an ugly future: a concrete jungle soaked with neon and littered with dregs, 9-to-5ers, the vapidly wealthy, and no shortage of the shadowy. Visuals are introduced with care, details scatter around the game world to make it feel authentic. Slums carry that filth and danger but also strangely feel cozy while those thriving in the corporate world may have the mirror gloss tiles but in a sterile colour.

    There are no such things as a good person or a bad person. Rather, there are bad people and there are horrible people. Making seemingly "correct" choices in any other game would reward you with a pat on the back, while here it could lead to your crew scolding you heavily for now making a simple run take a turn for the complex. Shadowrun: Dragonfall Director's Cut does not necessarily seek a hero as much as it wants you to take a pause to consider your options. It is beautifully integrated and never feels forced, making seemingly miniscule encounters feel like they have their own prominence.

    But the involvement does not solely rest on you, as your storyline group is composed of interesting and various personalities. From an anarchist shaman, to a hardheaded former soldier and an extremely frigid combatant that doubles as emergency medic, these are characters that will stick with you in your mind long after the game meets one of its conclusions. At face value, these are accurate descriptions but there is so much more behind them to the point where they lose that synthetic "gamey" feel of being attached out of convenience but that they actually existed in the world before you. Backstories are carefully explored, thoughts are exposed, and if enough devotion is committed, unique missions to right any past wrong is given. It is all so integral to maximum enjoyment in an RPG, because should one of them fall in battle then you did not simply lose your magic-user, but someone that was much more to your character.

    All in all, enough praise cannot be given to a game such as this. Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut may not have the financial backing of more commercially successful titles but it eclipses it with the soul it brings and the care so thoughtfully put in. The developers do not throw their arms in defeat at the limitations of the engine, but cleverly dance around it to still iron out a worthwhile experience. This is not simply just the definitive Shadowrun experience, this is what RPGs should do their homework on.

    On July 25, 2013, Shadowrun may have Returned.

    But on September 18, 2014, Shadowrun came Back.    … Expand

    One of the most enjoyable of the new wave of CRPGs. Sticks to the original Fallout roleplaying philosophy of supporting many different builds and allowing for a wide array of solutions to the different problems you face.

What makes this game so great however is how all these greats parts come together to form a incredibly immersive experience. You can tell that everyone who worked on this game was very passionate about making sure this would be the best possible experience. That isn't to say the game is perfect but it is damn close. Fans of well-crafted stories and those who enjoy tactical rpgs will all find something to love about this game.

    The world of ShadowRun feels so believable; the culture and the characters of the world are very consistent. On top of that, the choices you make, both in conversation and decision making, help concrete your sense of presence in the world. Will you storm in guns blazing, sneak past security, or talk you're way out of trouble. You have a handful of different classes and races to play as which all utilize very different tactics. You have mages that rely on spells, street-samurai that need to get up close and personal, and deckers who have the ability to control drones and hack into security.

    ShadowRun uses a turn-based tactical combat system. You have a wide top-down view of your characters and the environments they pass through. You can only see as far as you characters and the more distance between you and your enemies the harder they will be to hit. You can however increase you stats to help increase your accuracy along with a multitude of options to boost charisma, intelligence, defensive, and other attributes. You also have a vast array of skills that you can use to both inflict damage, weaken enemies, or heal and protect your allies.

    Soon after you start a new game one of your teammates is killed and you decide to investigate and hunt down the party responsible. In the process you have to convince you allies to cooperate with you and get everyone on your team to share your vision. All the main characters have very different personalities and react very differently depending on how you engage with them. Over time you really start to feel like you really know the characters and have an idea of how they'll behave under different conditions. What I find especially interesting in this game is how many of the elements of the story that seem to be isolated events all manage to start to tie in together as you get close to the conclusion.

    I was honestly surprised by how good this game was. The graphics are gorgeous, the story is immersive, and the combat is just the right level of challenging. Its a deep RPG that will require quite a bit of investment in time and thought but its well worth it. The though choices and scenarios are very rewarding once you see them through. I was pleasantly surprised by how long the game was and even after finishing I was very tempted to jump right back in try approaching things in a different way. In the meantime I will look forward to playing the other entries in the series and will continue to reflect back on the good times I had playing through this magnificent adventure.    … Expand

    I have completed this game twice, and loved it both times. Only reason I cannot give it 10/10 is because of the game-breaking bug which can be encountered during one of the final battles. There is a work-around, but it is disappointing that this has not yet been fixed.

The only problem is - if you played Shadowrun Returns, this is basically the same thing, same UI, talents, portraits and so on, so it's more like an expansion rather than new game, basically playing the same game again with different story/setting, but I'm not gonna argue since it's so good and I'm looking forward to Hong Kong. 9/10… Expand

    Shadowrun: Dragonfall has excellent writing which supports the whole shebang beautifully, but its sub-par tactical gameplay holds it back once the bullets and blades start flying.

    If you’re new to Shadowrun Returns, skip the initial release and start with Dragonfall Director’s Cut. Nearly every aspect of the Dragonfall campaign is superior to Dead Man’s Switch, and there’s far more to be excited about than afraid of.
