Shadowrun: Hong Kong - Extended Edition Reviews

Good game.

Shadowrun is the GOAT of Cyberpunk setting.

underrated gem of a game, hope we get more like these in the future

Shadowrun Return was the best IMO. Every version after that gets progressively worse. Not only does this game include the low hit chance from Dragonfall but is even stingier on the cash and now makes you not able to take hits on easy. Hard pass on this game.

I reiterate what i wrote for Dragonfall: Awesome Shadowrun RPG. Great Characters, great Story, great overall writing, if sometimes a little bit to much on the "blabla" site. But that is a nitpick. And like i said in my Dragonfall Review, i am salty that HB Schemes followed another IP instead of Shadowun.

Encountered a bug where some NPC dialogue boxes would turn up blank near end game. Also in bad need of Chinese translation. Otherwise great game, 10/10, love the teammates character arc.

Great turn based strategy RPG. I've played it many times, and nowhere near as many as some of the more hardcore Shadowrun fans. Would love to see more Shadowrun games come out, but for now, the workshop and the originals are still very much keeping this tiny niche franchise alive.

This is a great game. I used to play Shadowrun, back in the 00s, and I've missed it. This is all the awesome that Shadowrun was, plus all the aweseomness from iso turn based DnD type games. The creativity is brilliant, the balance in the game is brilliant. In short, you need this game.

Two laptops ago, when I tried to create a Fan Mission set in the Phillippines, I used the Editor for HK, and it corrupted my whole project, losing about two months worth of work done in my free time. Make of that what you will. (Yes I'm slow. I was working 60 hour weeks at the time.) Personnel involved in Hong Kong and Hong Kong Extended Edition include... - Creative Director Jordan "Zapper" Wiseman, who created the Shadowrun, BattleTech, Renegade Legion, and Earthdawn tabletop RPG universes. - Many DF developer staff went on to work on the Lamplighters League (2023) Fan Missions extend replayability of Hong Kong Extended Edition... Top Notch Fan Missions include: - [b]Vox Populi[/b] - a small team of fans re-made the Dead Man Switch campaign (Shadowrun Returns, set in Seattle) using the HK Editor. - royalamphibian's "[b]The Enemy of My Enemy[/b]" - Solo run (almost) in a locked down office building. Rise to the top or get dead. If you wanted to play Judge Dredd in the film Dredd, this is that sort of fan mission. - cirion's "[b]The Caldecott Caper[/b]" - set in San Francisco Bay area after Antumbra Saga (see Dragonfall Workshop) but before CalFree in Chains. You're a corpsec guard. The company declined your medical claim, so you need to make cash using what you know about the company and some handy mercenaries... - cirion's "[b]CalFree in Chains[/b]" - Welcome back for one final run in the San Francisco Bay Area Sprawl! This campaign picks up shortly after the end of The Caldecott Caper. Enter, General Saito and the Japanese occupying force in San Francisco... aaand, action! - molefixer's "[b]Coldplay[/b]" - You wake in a mostly shut down Ares space station in Earth orbit. Irregular melee character build at start. Not sure it's totally tabletop SR canon, but scarily, it COULD be. The timing and ending of the FM setting is eery. ¿Quieres ser un shadowrunner, pero ya jugaste todo el contenido de Dragonfall? ¡No busques más! ¡Compra Hong Kong Extended Edition!

Interpreten lo que quieran. (Sí, soy lento. En aquel entonces trabajaba 60 horas semanales). El personal involucrado en Hong Kong y Hong Kong Extended Edition incluye a... - El director creativo Jordan "Zapper" Wiseman, creador de los universos de los juegos de rol de mesa Shadowrun, BattleTech, Renegade Legion y Earthdawn. Muchos desarrolladores de DF trabajaron en la Liga de Lamplighters (2023). Las misiones de fans amplían la rejugabilidad de la Edición Extendida de Hong Kong... Las mejores misiones de fans incluyen: - [b]Vox Populi[/b]: un pequeño equipo de fans rehizo la campaña de Dead Man Switch (Shadowrun Returns, ambientada en Seattle) con el Editor de Hong Kong. - "[b]El enemigo de mi enemigo[/b]" de royalamphibian: una partida en solitario (casi) en un edificio de oficinas cerrado. Asciende a la cima o muere. Si querías jugar como el Juez Dredd en la película Dredd, esta es el tipo de misión de fans. - "[b]El caso de Caldecott[/b]" de cirion: ambientada en la Bahía de San Francisco después de la Saga Antumbra (ver Dragonfall Workshop) pero antes de CalFree in Chains. Eres un guardia cadáver. La compañía rechazó tu reclamación médica, así que necesitas ganar dinero usando lo que sabes de la compañía y algunos mercenarios útiles... - "[b]CalFree in Chains[/b]" de cirion: ¡Bienvenidos de nuevo a una última incursión en la Expansión del Área de la Bahía de San Francisco! Esta campaña comienza poco después del final de "The Caldecott Caper". Entran el General Saito y la fuerza de ocupación japonesa en San Francisco... ¡y, acción! - "[b]Coldplay[/b]" de molefixer: Despiertas en una estación espacial Ares casi apagada en órbita terrestre. La configuración del personaje cuerpo a cuerpo es irregular al principio. No estoy seguro de que sea totalmente canon de SR de mesa, pero, da miedo, podría serlo. El ritmo y el final del escenario FM son escalofriantes.

A fun CRPG, if rough around the edges. (+) _Gritty_ cyberpunk setting, strong Deus Ex vibes. A definite plus in a sea of "overdone" and neon-saturated cyberpunk games. (+) Decent story and writing. (+) Combat is fun. I played as a bog standard street samurai with a rifle. A few times I had flashbacks of X-COM after missing shots right in front of enemies even with a neural-implant aiming system lol (-) The hacking/decker stuff is atrocious. The matrix world you enter for hacking missions is tedious, and I hated every second of it. (-) Controls are janky at times. Like not being able to interact with doors and other objects despite clicking on them multiple times. (-) Companions in RPG games are usually hit or miss, The crew I have in my current run is definitely the latter. Whenever a companion levels up, you select from 1 of 2 upgrades, otherwise the game manages and upgrades their gear automatically. I prefer this system as it cuts down on gear and stat management -- some players might hate it for those same reasons -- but I nevertheless found my team's abilities boring and underwhelming. I've played better and I've played worse CRPGs. But if you like cyberpunk settings and get this on sale, it's probably worth a playthrough if you like the genre.
