Review: Shadowrun Returns (iPad)

Review by Matt S.

Shadowrun is a legendary RPG, both in terms of the pen-and-paper tabletop game and the original console release a few generations ago. When a certain big publisher decided that the 'reboot' of Shadowrun would be yet another generic FPS and managed to annoy the long time fans, a little indie developer decided to run a Kickstarter to produce a 'true' new Shadowrun game.

Shadowrun Returns is that game. It's been on PC for a while (you can read our review here), but the iPad version is perhaps a better fit. It's a fairly small game by RPG standards and well suited to half hour play sessions. At the same time, it's a deep enough narrative that it can be a compelling game to settle down in bed with after a long play session.

Review: Shadowrun Returns (PC)

While Dungeons & Dragons is the most recognised tabletop role-playing game, there are other RPGs which share the tabletop spotlight. One of those is Shadowrun, an RPG about doing undercover corporate work in futuristic cities filled to the brim with both common criminals and the supernatural. Yes, Shadowrun blends a future of augmented computer hackers and magic wielders into one whole, making the game a surprisingly unique fantasy/ cyberpunk-esque experience.
