Shadowrun Returns is a cyberpunk-fantasy tactical RPG based on the Shadowrun tabletop RPG.

The game ships with a campaign called "Dead Man's Switch" and a level editor (the same tool that the developers used). Additional campaigns can be downloaded from the Steam Workshop, including a remake of the SNES game from 1993.

Dead Man's Switch is short and linear, well written, albeit somewhat verbose, with just enough roleplaying and turn-based combat to get by.

Recommended for purchase on sale. The lowest recorded sale price is $1.49 at 90% off.

PS: I had originally criticized the save system, but thankfully they've backported the save-anywhere feature from Dragonfall & Hong Kong.

Unity engine build: 4.2.0f4
