Shadowrun Returns is a scientific tactical fantasy RPG. Another Kickstarter success.

In Shadowrun Returns, you play as a Shadowrunner, an elite mercenary. When Issues can’t be solved via legal means, corporations, governments and wealthy people will seek out Shadowrunners to take care of things for them. 

There is a character customization and you can choose from 5 different races in the beginning: Humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, and trolls. Each of them are different from one another, featuring different skills and abilities, unique to each race. Plus there are 6 classes, these being Street Samurai, Mage, Decker, Shaman, Rigger, or Physical Adept. The player can even play ‘classlessly’.

Shoot things, shoot things, shoot things

The gameplay features a huge amount of text and exploration. It’s a very detailed world. There is a lot of content outside of just combat, there are choices the player makes, very in depth dialogue and a vast ocean of information just all around. The player must use their own intelligence and intuition to investigate and figure some situations out. The combat however is a lot of fun. It features a good turn-based system. The characters can carry up to 3 weapons at a time and can switch between them in battle. Damage and effectiveness vary depending on the weapon, its type and the characters efficiency in wielding it.

Dragonfall's Trailer

Shadowrun Dragonfall is another Shadowrun game. It has its own independent campaign and story, and people say that it’s generally better than the first game. 

Dragonfall features new missions, alternate endings, a new musical score, a new redesigned user interface and more.

Note the new Interface, isn’t it pretty?

The gameplay is quite similar to the first game, however the combat system got some innovations. There is an all-new armor system to add more tactical feel to the game. They refined the cover and damage mechanics somewhat to allow the player to understand the importance of their position on the battlefield.

Strange things are afoot in Hong Kong

Shadowrun Trailer

Shadowrun Hong Kong is an entirely new story and separate game set in the Shadowrun Universe.

The story is set in the year 2056 in yes, Hong Kong. In somewhere called the ‘Free Enterprise Zone’. This place is a location almost completely controlled by the large corporations. Now, unlike the other two games where your character was created from scratch, the player’s character in this one has ties and relationships with other characters.

You were once an orphan, roaming the streets of Seattle with your best friend Duncan, before being taken in by a man called Raymond Black. Jolly nice of him.

 

Would you go to a club like that?

Like the previous Shadowrun games, you are a shadowrunner and hence do investigations, assassinations and the like. The gameplay and namely the combat is very similar to the last titles in the franchise, but more refined and sleek. 
The extended edition gives you a short, extra campaign. Offering around 6 hours of pure cyberpunk roleplaying.

53) I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream

Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

Official Trailer

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is a freaky point-and-click adventure RPG. The story is set in a world where a supercomputer with no love for humans decides to go a little bit mad and destroy humanity. (I bet the guy that made the computer regrets his decision). There are only 5 survivors remaining.

The supercomputer, AM has created metaphorical adventures for each of them that’ll prey on their weaknesses. The aim of the game is for the player to overcome these challenges and fears to prove that humans are better than machines.

 

The gameplay is rather simple but entertaining. When playing, you are greeted with a 2d screen where you can see the whole body of your character and you can click on objects and places to interact and move.
