Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown has a serviceable story, but its lack of branching dialogue options and its heavy emphasis on combat render it a less satisfying experience compared to its recent Shadowrun peers. Fortunately its tactical combat shine...
Abstract: The game stars with an interesting tutorial where you wake up in a clinic of some sort, about to be operated on (not a fun way to wake up). Your escape and run to the outside world is the basic game commands practice. After that, you're a bit more “on you...

Solid soundtrack fits the Blade Runnerinspired aesthetic
Bevy of technical problems and poor networking, Poor tactical systems lead to substandard and boring play, Lack of roleplaying beyond stat selection is an insult to the game's namesake, There's just nothing to do in this world

atmosphärisches CyberpunkSetting, Unterhaltsame und fordernde Kämpfe
klobiges Design, Wirkt nach wie vor unfertig, keine Checkpoints innerhalb von Missionen
Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown hinkt hinter den eigenen Ansprüchen hinterher. Statt eines MMOs hat das Geld „nur“ für eine Art XCOM Light gereicht, wo man an allen Ecken und Enden merkt, dass man eigentlich mehr vorhatte. So wird die reiche Welt vo...

Maurice Weber: Hätte ich Shadowrun Chronicles damals auf Kickstarter unterstützt, würde ich dem fertigen Spiel wohl mit gemischten Gefühlen gegenüberstehen. Es zieht seine Grenzen deutlich enger als angekündigt: Koop und Taktikkämpfe sind drin, aber statt...
klobige Optik, stark vereinfachtes Menü, fehlendes Inventar, rundenbasiertes Gameplay mit gleichzeitigen Zügen, leichte Balancingprobleme, stellenweise sehr flache Charaktere und Dialoge, eingeschränkte Itemauswahl
Shadowrun Chronicles spielt sich wie XCOM, sieht dabei aber klobig und unrund aus. Zwar hat die Story ihre Höhepunkte, aber so richtig gut umgesetzt wird sie leider ebenfalls nicht. Trotz allem gibt es ein paar Charaktere, die sich hervorheben und uns ein...
