Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut Reviews

This had a good amount of challenge for an inexperienced gamer without feeling impossible. I enjoyed the story twists and turns. This would be interesting to replay with different character builds and/or making different story choices.

Fantastic game as #2 in the series. Loved the story and game play the whole way through. The improvements to UI and functionality of some features from Shadowrun Returns to Dragonfall were all positives. This was so good, it inspired my regular game table to pick up the Berlin 6th World Core Rule Books and start playing tabletop. Recommended for folks that like a good turn-based RPG with a story as deep as you want to go into the rich lore behind the Shadowrun series.

Любопытная игрушка. Интересные диалоги и сюжет игры. Еще и диалоги подбираешь, чтоб персонажей разболтать, да квест дополнительный от них получить (в Dragon Age похожее в диалогах тоже было). Играл стрелком, прокачка широкая весьма. Тупо не догоняешь что может понадобиться из кучи скилов, как обычно кучу лишнего прокачал, а не понадобилось (или не хватало в диалогах чего-то) Короче, играть интересно

I really love these shadowrun games. But I found this one really hard to maintain my attention and get through. I think the reason is that there is just too much dialogue, that just seems to go on and on and on, and doesn't quite get to any point. I think they were trying to add mood and allow for you (the player) to create your own character's background. But the options you were given didn't matter, they all just lead to the same responses from the NPCs. I think my issue is that I just wasn't that hooked into the story line or characters from the start, before they went into copious exposition. This might have been just my problems, but that's my 2 cents. Still great game, the battles and story line appeared to be good, I just found the way they explained it to be unnecessarily long. Well worth your money.

Great game. Lots of fun. Makes one want to play more Shadowrun games.

Game-breaking bugs that you get to towards the end of the game. You'll never finish the game because of this. Here's one of many examples: https://steamcommunity.com/app/300550/discussions/0/1634111706740334086/

Very immersive and a nice approach that encorporates the P&P rules nicely into a fun experience. The engine is quite similar to the first 2 Fallout games, adhering to pen and paper logic behind everything. And the beautiful thing about pen and paper gaming (and part of what made the Fallout games so great) lies with the ability to play the game however it suits your character. My only complaint lies with how zoomed out HD resolutions look. Unless you have a rather large monitor, you will likely want to reduce the resolution considerably, unless you enjoy the feeling of your eyes bleeding. It doesn't look too bad reduced, so its not too bad a trade off. If you love Shadowrun (or cyberpunk in general) or any other pen and paper game, this is definetely worth a shot.

Actually not a bad game at all I was playing the other Shadowrun game that they took the servers offline so I can't even plan anymore other than that this is a great game and I hope they come out with some new ones soon haven't beaten it yet but gonna put some hours into it you can also look up the DLC for free online to enter in the promo codes look forward to putting more hours into this I also play it on my meta three with virtual desktops really good time

Are you looking for a cyberpunk fantasy with orc, elves, dwarves and tech? With mythical creature racial tension, magic and evil corporations? Shadowrun: Dragonfall wonderfully captures a true punk tone with a high mythical fantasy in a cyberpunk setting. You play as gang of [strike]swordhire[/strike] mercs- or [strike]edgerunners[/strike] shadowrunners. Through this gang, you take on various jobs from a wide variety of clients, all while your group is trying to uncover and progress the main plot. The narrative is where this game really shines, as the writing presents some interesting discussions about a corporate society we can relate to. Ethical and moral dilemmas are presented through the use of tech, magic and mythical story devices. This creates interesting stories to explore punk political ideology. The 'punk' aesthetic feels real. Its no poser. But while the narrative is rich, the technical side feels rough, and not in a punk aesthetic kind of way. Character building has depth to it as an rpg, but the mechanics were not engaging or fun for me. The game looks fine, but some of the UI was annoying. I wasn't wowed by the magic, or found the weapons available that exciting. The skills didn't make the combat feel more tactical either. Don't get me wrong, its all there, just nothing too special. The combat section would have the active characters on a grid, taking cover and performing actions in a turn based order. Various things like magic, weapons and actions all have a cost or resource. There are usable items like grenades and healing packs. There's also a hacking world when you want to hack some sort of device. That however is just combat with different skills. The worst thing was that the grid based combat camera angle and character models would often times cause mis-clicks. This is what lead me to stop playing the game, as my frustrations grew till I just didn't care to play it. Its hard to recommend. If you are eyeing it for a reason, pick it up. I think the narrative is very interesting. But otherwise, I dont think too many people will be able to engage with it. Shadowrn is also a ccrpg by the same name. I have no idea how it relates to the the ccrpg because I am not aware of anything about the ccrpg.

Story/Writing: 5/5 - The plot draws you in and keeps you wanting to know more. The twists and turns are on the level of a good fantasy novel. This game takes a well established world/lore and just adds depth with a good dose of intrigue. You do not need to know about Shadowrun before you start playing but you will want to know more when you are done. Characters: 4.5/5 - The villains are truly dastardly (despite initial appearances of some);making you want to thwart their plans. Your team and the characters you encounter have depth and you will definitely have a favorite character or 2. Visual/Graphics: 4/5: - For the style of game this is and when it was created, this is spot on. It feels like a seedy dark city sprinkled with plenty of neon and noir. Music/Sound: 4/5 - The soundtrack is dark and somber, well reflecting the atmosphere of this doomed world. The battle music and background music are designed well enough you can play for hours and listen to it and not grow weary. Gameplay: If you like isometric strategy, you are in the right place. If you like point systems where you get to deeply customize your character every level, welcome home. This is probably the best Shadowrun game created. Fans of a dark cyberpunk world full of magic and Machiavellian mystery will relish this gem of a game.
