 The Game

Lead your team of Runners to survive a corrupt megacorporation’s intrigue threatening thousands of lives in this new action-strategy game set in the most popular cyberpunk universe of all times – Shadowrun. Blending X-Com style gameplay with RPG elements in the unique Shadowrun setting and adding an extensive single- and co-op campaign, Shadowrun Chronicles offers the next generation of tactical turn based action games.

Entrapped in a city plagued by a deadly virus, assaulted by the minions of a megacorporation, attacked by infected and with a dragon on a rampage through the city you have to unearth the secret conspiracy that connects it all.

As the leader of your team of Shadowrunners, you will have to use magic, technology and every weapon available to you, to save the lives of thousands in a city at the brink of extinction. Grow you character, plan your missions and control your team in combat or play live co-op with other players to overcome the challenges ahead of you. Meet your fellow runners in the Back Alley or hire henchmen to help you succeed.

Set in the dystopian near future of our world, where magic has awakened and blends with technology, creatures of myth and legend have returned. Elves, Dwarves, Orks and Trolls walk among the neon-lit streets, while the matrix connects everyone and everything as the corporate towers cast their long shadows across the globe. You are a Shadowrunner – a secret operative on the edge of society, hired for the jobs no one wants to be connected with. A cyberpunk rebel surviving by skill and instinct in the shadows of the corporate towers!

Welcome to the dark side of the future, chummer. It’s going to be a hell of a ride.

Great Fun game if you like a bit of tatical combat, x-com style… but better … cause you and your buddies each control a single character….. well that kind makes it better for me 😛

It’s a Shadowrun Desktop Replacement in essence. As this is really a starting point for SRO I can’t wait for the future. Great game so far.

But you also have some bad reviews:

“If you liked the depth, the quality RPG and the tactical element to any of the previous shadowrun games, avoid this [… ] There’s no classes, no Overwatch, no difficulty settings, no ‘AP’ or ability points, ie, a set amount of points used to move, fire a certain amount of times. Instead you have ‘Move’. And ‘Shoot'(/melee attack). If you do the latter before the former, that characters turn is just over. ”
