Shadowrun Returns Switch NSP Free Download Unfitgirl Harebrained Schemes’ Shadowrun Returns first released back in 2013 after a successful Kickstarter campaign that saw its intriguing cyberpunk-meets-fantasy world drop onto PC and mobile devices, indeed we first played through this one and its superior sequel on our phones and they were an absolute delight. Set in the same universe as the long-running Shadowrun tabletop RPG series, the narrative here starts out as an atmospheric noir-ish murder mystery set in an intriguing world where orcs and dwarves, elves and humans live (somewhat begrudgingly) side-by-side, before expanding to incorporate all manner of magic, shamans, demons and secret organisations. You play as a shadowrunner who’s received a pre-recorded message from a recently murdered associate via a device known as a “Dead Man’s Switch” and must now set off on a journey to find those behind his demise. It’s a straightforward setup that ploughs you through a simple character creator and into action in double-quick time, plonking you down onto the rain-soaked, neon-tinged streets of 2054 Seattle and letting you have at it, indulging in lots of well-written conversations with a cast of interesting NPCs and engaging in delightfully breezy XCOM-lite style battles. Yes, that’s right, breezy. One of the main draws of Shadowrun Returns, and one of its biggest surprises given the genre, is this quick and easy breeziness that filters through every aspect of how it conducts itself. It gets to the point quickly, funnels you through its linear story and world without wasting a second of your time, makes upgrading and purchasing gear a doddle, and the whole thing is done and dusted in around about ten hours.

Basically, if you’ve ever fancied getting stuck into the likes of Divinity: Original Sin 2, Pillars of Eternity, or a similar style of tactical RPG, but felt they were far too complex or time-consuming, well, Shadowrun Returns could be right up your street. It may be a rather abrupt experience in some respects — and a fairly easy one as far as this genre goes — but it’s also been made with a careful eye for detail and an innate knowledge of what makes these sorts of games tick. There’s very strong writing across the board here with lots of fun characters to get to know and an intriguing premise that keeps you hooked right to the end. This is paired with combat that, whilst fairly simplistic and easy to blow through, is always a good time with lots of guns, magic, hacking, drones, summoning of demons, and mind-tricks to engage in. It adopts an XCOM-style cover system that sees you shield yourself behind environmental objects and get down to business clearing out gangs of baddies and hoovering up loot whilst making use of your expansive inventory of tricks and gadgets to gain the upper hand. Bigger battles even see you recruit mercs to your cause, giving you lots of variety and fun in the powers and skills you get to play around with. Yes, it’s a shame that you can’t move the camera around freely during fights, and the items of cover dotted around battlefields haven’t been thought out particularly well, but the action here is a fun enough distraction that suits the overall pulpy vibe the game is going for.

Skill-Based Character Progression:

Choose a starting character archetype and build from there! Street Samurai and Physical Adepts use advanced combat skills to dominate the battlefield, Shamans and Mages summon powerful allies and cast deadly spells, while Riggers and Deckers provide critical technological support, projecting their consciousness directly into drones and computer systems. Shadowrun Returns’ classless skill system allows you to grow your character in any direction you choose. Want to start summoning spirits as an ork Shaman and evolve into a cybered-up weapon specialist? Do it! In terms of this Switch port, at this stage Shadowrun Returns was never gonna win awards for how it looks or sounds, but it’s certainly not an unappealing game visually and its world is plenty atmospheric with a nice clean hand-painted style to it. However, much more problematic here is a level of jank that just shouldn’t exist in a game of this age/type playing on better hardware than that on which it originally launched. Simple stuff like interacting with objects and NPCs is frustrating due to unresponsive button prompts, there are constant issues with micro-stuttering as you move through areas and some fairly horrific slowdown and stuttering when entering new locations or kicking off a scrap. You’ll also notice NPCs and other background items loading in as you move around and there are some fairly long waits between levels, giving the overall impression of a game that’s really struggling to run on Nintendo Switch.

Of course, as we mentioned at the top of this review, we played this game with zero issues on a mobile phone almost a decade ago, so it’s hard to find reason or excuse for any of the technical problems that we’re seeing here, it just feels like a very sloppy job. Shadowrun Returns is the name of this classic-style isometric role-playing game, but it’s really just a venue for telling stories in its long-dormant sci-fi/fantasy universe. What you’re really getting when you buy it is a short but well-written tale of murder and conspiracy called The Dead Man’s Switch, access to what will probably become a fertile ground for community-created content in the future, and just enough of an isometric roleplaying game and turn-based tactical combat to get by. Shotgun-toting elves fighting side by side with ork mages and dwarf hackers certainly isn’t the typical take on fantasy, and that lends Shadowrun’s setting an edge. Thanks to a shared minimalist style, its sparsely detailed 3D characters fit in well as they run around on a respectable variety of painted 2D backgrounds representing a noirish vision of 2050s Seattle. Shadowrun Returns isn’t a very pretty game, but it does make effective use of its simple graphics, in part by preventing us from zooming in for a close look.

Gripping Tactical Combat:

When you’re running the shadows, every turn matters. Choose your actions wisely – move to better cover, charge into melee, or lob a fireball into a crowd of enemies. With the variety of weapons and spells at your disposal, every turn is filled with meaningful choices. A successful run requires commanding a team of runners with the right balance of combat, tech, and magical abilities. At first glance its RPG system looks promising – intimidating, even, due to a list of skills and abilities so long and complex it requires quite a bit of scrolling to get through. Skill points are doled out regularly, creating a good sense of constant progression. I soon grasped that I’d only need to worry about a small part of the tree with any reasonably specialized build, though. Racial bonuses for the five fantasy species aren’t dramatic, amounting to just a point or two, but a dwarf’s higher willpower ceiling would make him a slightly better fit for a mage, for example. The differences are mostly cosmetic, and playing as a massive troll or ork certainly makes me feel more intimidating than a human, elf, or dwarf, even if characters don’t react to me differently. The Dead Man’s Switch’s story briskly and entertainingly twists itself into something much bigger and more sinister than the whodunit it begins as. Though its characters aren’t particularly novel, they are colorfully written in a style that matches their expressively drawn portraits and compensates for the lack of voice acting. The text could definitely use a copy editor, though, and its many grammar errors and typos can get distracting. Devil In Your Eyes

Even though it attempts to create the feeling of an open-world RPG like Fallout and Fallout 2, in reality it’s disappointingly linear, directly funneling you from one mission to the next. There are a couple of well-done puzzles that require information-gathering detective work, and a handful of areas have problems that can be solved in at least two ways – reprogram a blank access card or steal one, for example. But very few of my decisions in dialogue trees had any significant impact on how events played out. For the most part it’s window dressing, there purely to let our characters display the professional, sleazy, or good-hearted attitude we want them to. Likewise, only a couple of optional side-missions popped up, giving me the impression that even if my next playthrough is as a straightlaced male troll Decker instead of my wisecracking female elf Street Samurai, events are going to play out pretty much as they did the first time through. Variety and difficulty in playthroughs is largely up to us, and Shadowrun Returns facilitates that with an excellent risk-reward setup. Each major mission hands you a big chunk of change with which to hire a three-man team of shadowrunner mercenaries, and like in Jagged Alliance 2, you’re incentivized to cut corners and keep the money you save. On the other hand, where Jagged Alliance 2 features great mercenary personalities that we get to know and love, in Shadowrun most get only a line of text to introduce them. Only the angry sometimes-sidekick Coyote, who has a significant supporting role in the story, seems to matter.

Engaging 2D/3D Art Style:

Shadowrun Returns mixes dynamic 3D characters and lighting with a vibrant, hand-painted environment. Illustrated character portraits bring every conversation to life. Explore a world filled with detail, from the slums of the Redmond Barrens to the extravagant offices of powerful corporations. I’ve forgotten the names of the shadowrunners who fell during the turn-based combat, which reminds me of a light version of both XCOM: Enemy Unknown and old-school Fallout. Fights have enough tactical depth and barely sufficient weapons and equipment to keep things interesting throughout this relatively short adventure. My melee character was able to easily hold her own against gun-toting thugs and soldiers, especially when buffed by a mage to increase her movement range, and ranged combat is enhanced by a simple cover system and multiple firing modes. Hacking (or decking, as it’s called) is an unexpected combat skill that at certain points in the story transports you into a slick Tron-like virtual world. There, gameplay takes a turn for the repetitive in terms of attacks, awful sound effects, and enemy variety. It’s used sparingly, though, and even effectively, particularly in a couple of engagements where one team member fights his way through the Matrix (Shadowrun called it that first!) to disable enemy systems in parallel with the other three doing battle in “meat space.” In that way, a weakness becomes a strength.

I’m very pleased to see a good new RPG in this classic isometric style, and its The Dead Man’s Switch story has some well-told twists while it lasts, and the light tactical combat has enough depth to make it a worthwhile adventure. But the bite-sized scope and limited choices available make me more interested to see what Shadowrun Returns will be a year from now, after the community has used the included mod tools to build on it, than in what it is today. 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. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Digital Deluxe

In the urban sprawl of the Seattle metroplex, the search for a mysterious killer sets you on a trail that leads from the darkest slums to the city’s most powerful megacorps. You will need to tread carefully, enlist the aid of other runners, and master powerful forces of technology and magic in order to emerge from the shadows of Seattle unscathed. 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.
