This is one of the best sci-fi RPG's that exist in the gaming world.
A friend of mine got this game as a rental once around 10-12 years ago. On the first glimpse I thought "what the hell is this?".
But, once I got to play for my self - I couldn't stop playing. I was like drugged!
I love sci-fi in everything; movies, stories, AND games.
- Shadowrun belongs there, right in the mix.
The atmosphere is underscribable when you start up a game:
Waking up in the morgue - looking around for objects - finding what you need, scaring a pair of wimps, making them hide inside a closet, by opening the door to the office from the morgue side.
Going outside, meeting a punk - learning a few first things about your lost memory and what happened recently.
Following that guy down the road, just to find him shot by an Orc.
Stealing the dead guy's gun, protecting yourself from the Orc's shots. Shooting him down and getting his jacket.
A dog in hiding seems like a mystery, but is part of a bigger whole you'll be about to face...
- I could tell you a whole book how the game goes, but those who haven't played it - I don't wanna ruin your experience.
This game still has a special place in my heart after all these years.
Since it has so many sides to it, it's impossible not to love it.
An RPG. A SCI-FI RPG.
You get to buy guns. Fight very fascinating enemies. You can hire hitmen to protect you. The plot thickens as you get further in the game. You get to hack yourself inside computers. Fight mercenaries - armies of them. Weird bosses that put up a real good fight. You get to earn money by killing lots of badguys. The game is gloomy and dark - but in a very delicate way.
