The latest in the ever-growing line of Kickstarter-funded games is Shadowrun Returns, a sequel to the original game which hit PC back in 1989. Jordan Weisman, the creator of Shadowrun, secured the license for a sequel on the PC and iOS and Android tablets, and is hoping to raise $400,000 for the project.
Console Creatures writes, "Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is a standout example of what bringing an older title to modern consoles should be."
I want to buy this but I don’t have time right now to play it so I’ll wait a little bit to grab a copy.
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "System Shock 2 is an all-time great, easily one of the most important games of all time, and Nightdive’s 25th Anniversary Remaster edition makes it a touch more accessible without ever gutting its core, or anything that made it so cherished in the first place. The excellent core gameplay and stellar level design come together for an unforgettable experience. Furthermore, the fact it works shockingly well on a controller is already something worthy of a medal of honor for the studio. Now, while we’re at it, where’s that System Shock 3 we were promised all those years ago? I’m hungry for more!"
MonsterVine: "Shuffle Tactics from Club Sandwich struggles to balance difficulty with fairness, leading to an experience more frustrating than fun, even with accessibility options turned on."
Anyone who enjoyed in-depth, old-school RPGs should back this game. Both the SNES and Genesis games were SICK. I backed this yesterday morning. There were about 380 other backers and $38,000. This morning I check and there are over 4,900 backers and over $360,000 in support. Daaayum!
Sorry lost me at tablet and pc. Tablet's are just gonna hold it back and are unneeded for gaming.
I already threw my money at it... Genesis version of Shadowrun is still my absolutely favorite game to date. Just wondering how tablets going to hold it back? It is a 2D turn-based RPG. That seems pretty damn perfect for tablets if you ask me...
This is the game I have been eagerly waiting for.... for a very very long time...
Young gamers may associate Shadowrun with the FPS from acouple of years ago, but this is a sweet universe with a ton of lore and possibility. Used to play the pen and paper version.
They can consider me a backer. Shadowrun by DataEast on the SNES was one of the best computer RPG games I have ever played.
