How it feels

A narrative-driven cyberpunk tactical RPG that feels methodical and atmospheric, with thoughtful combat and deep character customization.

What players say

Players praise the writing, story, and companion depth as a big step up from Shadowrun Returns. Combat is serviceable but limited in strategy, and the hacking minigame is widely disliked. Some report bugs, freezes, and outdated UI, while others call it one of the best tactical RPGs in the X-Com vein.
