unlabelledView post →Have played some more Shadowrun Returns. It's great. It makes me want to read and play Shadowrun. Yes, I realise this is almost certainly a mistake. For starters, the video game has far fewer D6s than I remember and definitely not so many munchkins...
unlabelledView post →If you've never played it, I highly recommend Shadowrun: Dragonfall and Shadowrun: Hong Kong you can also play Shadowrun Returns but its very much more of a proof of concept then a good game. But I'd still play it.
unlabelledView post →Inspiration: Shadowrun (snes) ost - Tenth Street www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGa6... Been playing this game alot, lately. Always loved Jake Armitage as a character, so I was glad to see him in Shadowrun Returns. My cosplay of the character. #secondlife #sl #furry #shadowrun #cyberpunk
unlabelledView post →Fresh teaser from the makers of Shadowrun Returns (, Dragonfall, Hong Kong) and Battletech for their next game!
unlabelledView post →#26: Shadowrun Returns Dark, synthy, eerie percussive tension is the style here. It was a great fit for a very good Shadowrun game. See: - Return of the Sixth World - Null Sheen - Memory - Shady Deal - Eyes in the Dark www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ9g...
unlabelledView post →Fun fact: Kluwe was one of the top backers for the Shadowrun Returns kickstarter, and was put into the game as a troll bouncer named Mr Kluwe. Notice the distinctive Vikings style horns. We need more of this shadowrunner energy in our modern dystopia.
unlabelledView post →I tend to think of the Shadowrun Returns trilogy as one game tbh, so when I am asked which one I like the most it takes me a second to process. But I guess it'd be Dragonfall > Hong Kong > Returns. I know, ground breaking. But Returns was finding it's feet, and Dragonfall was a narrative masterpiece
unlabelledView post →Yesterday I played Shadowrun Returns, which was pretty fun, today I'm playing Nobody Wants To Die, which is true. I don't, I wanna live FOREVER! Join me from 5:30pm (UTC+0) as I check out this sci-fi noir game. twitch.tv/deusblackheart

unlabelledView post →The Shadowrun Returns trilogy is the best implementation of the Shadowrun IP in videogame form. The first game is mid, and can be seen like an extended tutorial. Dragonfall and Hong Kong though, are peak. Excellent NPCs and ethical problems magnified by technology, www.gog.com/en/game/shad...
unlabelledView post →After watching a video in @tenebristenshi.bsky.social's server, I've made a decision. Tomorrow, I will be playing Shadowrun Returns! twitch.tv/ShouraiLive Hope to see y'all there! #ItsShouTime #俺は将来だ #Vtuber #ENVtuber #VSky #DisabledGamer
unlabelledView post →In case anyone was wondering about specifics, I'm thinking of the Sega Genesis game, the Super Nintendo game, and then the Harebrained trilogy of Shadowrun Returns, Shadowrun: Dragonfall and Shadowrun: Hong Kong.
unlabelledView post →Oh yeah, same here. Shadowrun Returns was the first game I ever helped Kickstart, I was so excited for a new game. Lovely trilogy overall with Dragonfall being my fave of the three.
unlabelledView post →I'm finally finishing the game of Harebrained Schemes' Shadowrun Returns that I started in 2017. It's actually making me want to re-read my old SR1-3 books. I've never actually run The Sprawl in the SR universe before, but maybe that will finally happen...
unlabelledView post →You can still pick up the game (Shadowrun Returns) on Steam. Well worth a play.
unlabelledView post →I stopped playing this and played Shadowrun Returns instead. Janky but really fun! Feels like they actually for real adapted a tabletop game. Looking forward to playing Dragonfall and Hong Kong!
unlabelledView post →Shadowrun Returns is bareboned, but the Nephilim Network is the coolest thing ever. The game has several clear & strict archetypes, and the Network consists exclusively over people who break the norms. Non-hexary characters, it is brilliant! Personally, I want to play a covert operative/G-man.
unlabelledView post →Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall was a surprisingly good game.

unlabelledView post →So a not inconsequential number of people got shot BUT we did finish the game with a pretty good ending! I'm still proud of that nightclub. Next week: Shadowrun Returns!
unlabelledView post →Me, laying in bed: "I wonder if there's a game based on the Cyberpunk Red trpg" Me to myself: "u r a dumbass hoe. Play Shadowrun Returns again"
unlabelledView post →related: I really enjoyed the computer game Shadowrun Returns, and while it did get a couple sequels, that franchise more or less ended.
unlabelledView post →That’s hilarious. I found out who you are originally from playing Shadowrun Returns back in the day. As cool in real life as you are in the game.
unlabelledView post →Shadowrun Returns is a fine enough game I suppose, but it’s narrative is really barebones by comparison.
unlabelledView post →RPG of the Day Shadowrun Returns Released: 2013 Platform(s): Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series S/X, Switch, macOS A triumphant return of the Shadowrun franchise in the video game space. Lots to do and tons of extra content on PC.
unlabelledView post →15. Shadowrun Returns - Dragonfall The sequel to Shadowrun Returns, which managed to bring this TTRPG back into the video game realm. Beside the technical and QoL improvements expected from a sequel, this one punches you straight in the heart with its characters and story. The best of the series.

unlabelledView post →Honestly, I kinda get why this game flopped but you know what? instead of getting a translation for it it would be a lot cooler if someone made a Shadowrun Returns/Hong Kong campaign with the story, i think it would fix a lot of the issues
unlabelledView post →I have been loving what I have played of Shadowrun Returns. I like the whole detective story that's going on. Greasing palms, getting info, making friends. It's a cool game. I'm generally not a fan of turn based tactical RPGs but this is working for me. Big thumbs up
unlabelledView post →I played all of these when they came out, as well as Boston Lockdown. And man, I really, really wish that BD was given more support and marketing than it was. It's a good game, but never got the traction it deserved to turn into a long-term, evolving game. I'd kill for a Shadowrun Returns online.
unlabelledView post →Shadowrun Returns and its sequels bear basically no resemblance to the mechanics of the tabletop game, and are developed by a studio without direct oversight from the tabletop publisher. It's a fair criticism of Returns but not of the ttrpg.
unlabelledView post →As much as I like Shadowrun Returns and as much as I agreed with Chris Kluwe for what he was doing, his inclusion in the game was a constant pop back to reality for me. I understand the impulse and sometimes I find these cameos really cool, but other times it's jarring.
unlabelledView post →Saw a 2022 review of the Switch version of Shadowrun Returns. Critic said he played the game over and over "back in the day." It came out on PC in 2013.
unlabelledView post →Brings back memories of how I SOMEHOW missed the fact that you can reload weapons in Shadowrun Returns and got to the very last bit of the game without it 😭
unlabelledView post →A game I love (a trilogy) 💗 Shadowrun Returns, Shadowrun: Hong Kong, Shadowrun: Dragonfall #ShadowrunReturns #Shadowrun:HongKong #Shadowrun:Dragonfall
unlabelledView post →But then, I’ve never experienced a game as messy as #ShadowrunReturns on #PlayStation. I wouldn’t say it has game-breaking bugs (or maybe it does), it’s just breathtakingly unpolished. Controller inputs are often not registered by the game, prompts and information are not displayed on screen, and scripting doesn’t run smoothly either. I don’t need a super polished game to have fun, but poof, in this state my motivation to keep playing is gone. — #Gaming #Shadowrun #ShareYourGames

unlabelledView post →So, as I'm looking into what's getting played after Shadowrun Returns, I realized I didn't have Dragonfall. So I went and played something shorter. Then GOG has Dragonfall for 4 bucks. WELL OKAY THEN, I guess more Shadowrun!! www.gog.com/en/game/shad...

unlabelledView post →No joke, this was the game that made me realize my love for both Shadowrun as a setting and XCOM-like games in general. Great piece, hopefully we’ll get more Shadowrun Returns someday!
unlabelledView post →Rolled credits on @webeharebrained.bsky.social 's Shadowrun Returns for the nth time (somehow have 77 hours in this game?!), but this time for a video. Still holds up pretty well! Whatever happened to Shadowrun???
unlabelledView post →Aha, yeah! The 2077 made me wish for a new, higher production Shadowrun Returns Trilogy game.
unlabelledView post →I'm not sure how solidly the games are based on a pen-and-paper RPG, but the Shadowrun Returns trilogy (Returns, Dragonfall, & Hong Kong) is a good representation of that game.
unlabelledView post →It's tangential, but I'm still amazed that Paradox had both World of Darkness rights and Harebrained Schemes, and didn't ask them to make a WoD game in the style of Shadowrun Returns.
unlabelledView post →So I'm playing Shadowrun Returns for the first time and this game is already quite good because a piece of "armor" I can buy for my orc is a Hawaiian dad shirt. *chef's kiss*
unlabelledView post →When you were talking about repurposing game systems for other games earlier today, @mike-prinke.bsky.social, I thought of how much I liked the Shadowrun Returns game engine and would love to see it used (if possible) to make a Starfinder TTRPG video game someday.
unlabelledView post →Shadowrun Returns might be a rather lengthy tech demo of a game, but the soundtrack is a masterpiece.
unlabelledView post →I wasn't expecting Shadowrun Returns to be anything special, but I got hooked by it pretty quick. It even got me to play the old SNES Shadowrun game.
