Shadowrun Returns reveals 19 minutes of gameplay
Ten months after receiving a whopping $1.9 million from fans to make Shadowrun Returns, Jordan Weisman's HareBrained Schemes has revealed the cyberpunk-fantasy RPG in a twenty-minute alpha gameplay walkthrough. Weisman and co-founder Mitch Gitelman show off a squad of shadowrunners talking, shooting and summoning their way through one mission and gosh, it's good to see.

The video shows one side-mission from an alpha build, so do bear in mind that it's not finished. Still, you'll learn about how stats, disguises and behaviour can affect conversations, hidden alternate approaches to missions, casting spells, summoning dangerous spirits, and shooting, shooting, shooting. It's quite pretty, too.
HBS also released the very first actual, proper screenshots.
Shadowrun Returns is due on PC and Mac in "early summer," with a Linux version to follow.

Can I still get in on this action? Like to get a load of pre-order goodies?

Well, you missed out on the Kickstarter goodies, but there is a little something with a pre-order.

I don't really understand your response and maybe I didn't word my reply very well. What I meant to say was that I thought the Wasteland 2 video looked amazing and I'm curious what part of it you didn't like. I'm assuming that the "way better" for Shadowrun Returns means you didn't like something about Wasteland 2.

I would tend to agree with this. Wasteland 2 looked good, but rather bland. Something about this just oozes style and charm that the Wasteland footage was missing. Honestly it's probably that super stylized 2D graphics are just more pleasing to the eye than low poly 3D. Anyway I wish the best for both teams, but I think Shadowrun is higher on my list now :)

It is tons of fun, often we play each others scenarios and a variety of bad things that can really make it hard very quickly, or figure out some neat tricks to kill or avoid ai altogether, or use decking to lock doors, turn on turrets, send alarms. One of the bests, which was in video, is to get them to fight each other.
