If any of you are familiar with the tabletop RPG, you may be interested to know there's a tactical game releasing this coming Tuesday that is similar in play to the X-COM (and other tactical) games.

More information here.

Fail on my part; it's this coming Thursday, not Tuesday.

DL'd it this afternoon and have been playing and enjoying it so far. Starting off with a Dwarven Decker named Drill.

I am just awestruck by how well this game recaptures the feel of the old pen and paper RPG...been playing all day and not sure when I'll stop cause it's just so much fun!

Thanks for bringing the game to my attention. I hadn't even heard of it and it looks fantastic. I have loved the tabletop RPG since its release and have enjoyed many hours playing a street samurai. I'm looking forward to giving the computer version a try and and relieved to hear that those of you who've downloaded it seem to be having a good time!

The "save only at the beginning of a level" feature is a bit inconvenient, but far from a deal breaker. It's a very nice iteration of the Shadowrun RPG, and definitely feels faithful to it. I know better than to even hope of or dream for this, but a multiplayer mode would be BAWSS.

I've been enjoying this. I see alot of potential for expansion as well and the Toolset has sooo much potential.

If they can just add in Multiplayer we may be looking at the new NWN.

A few free bits of advice, if I may.

No matter your race/class, do not make CHA your "dump stat." With a CHA of at least 4, you will occasionally get additional options during dialogue.

In addition, you should have two (2) choices for Etiquette subskills. I, personally, go with "Security" for my first choice (at least for this game). Your next choice(s) are up to you, but I have seen options for the following in various dialogues: Corporation, Streets, and Shadowrunner, for certain.

They will also release an IOS version, "shortly." If you played XCOM on the IOS/IPAD it was a real close port. Shadowrun will be awesome at my fingertips.

Speaking of multiplayer, here's hoping this doesn't suck.

I never heard of the game until I read these posts. I bought a copy of Steam and have enjoyed what little I've played of it so far. Reminds me of the original Fallout games, in terms of gameplay, RPG development and interaction, and quality of storytelling. Saw lots of complaints about the game because it doesn't have voice-overs, cut-scenes, etc... I'd rather have an in-depth RPG with a good story rather than flash and no substance. Thanks for talking this game up!

I didn't check t see if the game is cross platform or not but these types of saves seem to be implemented on games deigned for consoles. I usually skip those, anting to play games designed for the PC and not hampered by the limitations of consoles but I can overlook them in this case. It's Shadowrun!
