Shadowrun Returns has been released. I've played a bit and it's like a combination of a CRPG and the old SNES game. Pretty neat-o. Atmospheric so far too just like that old SNES game.
Anyone else playing it?
Nice to read that someone from the same forum is also playing it.
Me, of course, as I spent 250 USD on their Kickstarter...
I only played the Mega Drive game and also like the throwback feeling I get from this game.
I find the game good, but the idiotic checkpoint save system ruins the immersion way too often (not to mention the waste of time, with games like AvP or Demon's Souls/Dark Souls I can understand a different save game standard, but that the game is unable to save the game before the fight is just horrible) and I even play on the normal difficulty setting, don't want to know how I would feel if I would be killed by a lucky hit on the hardest settings and having to replay the whole mission
. Love the environment art, the character models and animations are a step or two behind it. I tried to play a persuasion character, but this is quite a bad choice in the standard campaign, I think I am almost max CHR, but surprise, surprise, it does not help so much in fights
. When I finish the campaign, will try to replay it on the hardest difficulty with a char that is worth a dime in the fights.
When I tried the editor in the early access days, it was crashing constantly, so I stopped. Maybe I will give it another shot, as this is, IMO, the most important part of this game.
With this save system I give it a 6/10, with a normal save system 7 or 8/10 as the price is really cheap.
People who like the setting should give it a try as it is quite cheap, not to mention the editor should give many good campaigns from the community.
