Cyberpunk mixed with Fantasy elements is amazing. Putting all that in hard as nails CRPG is awesome!

About This Game
HONG KONG. A stable and prosperous port of call in a sea of chaos, warfare, and political turmoil. The Hong Kong Free Enterprise Zone is a land of contradictions - it is one of the most successful centers of business in the Sixth World, and home to one of the world’s most dangerous sprawl sites. A land of bright lights, gleaming towers, and restless spirits where life is cheap and everything is for sale.

Shadowrun: Hong Kong - Extended Edition Features
Shadows of Hong Kong Bonus Campaign: Set in the weeks following the events of the main campaign, the Shadows of Hong Kong bonus campaign will give you -- and your team -- the opportunity to turn the tables on the elite corporate police force that once hunted you. Through layers of corporate greed and urban strife, you will contend with dangerous enemies, uncover a deadly conspiracy, and cement your reputation as a Prime Runner… assuming that you survive, of course.A Classic, Story-Driven cRPG: Shadowrun: Hong Kong hearkens back to the golden age of computer RPG’s with a novel-like branching narrative full of sharp prose and deep character development. Immerse yourself in a smart, 15+ hour campaign with a diverse cast of all-too-human characters.
A One-of-a-Kind Cyberpunk Setting: Experience the unique “Tech meets Magic” dystopian future of Shadowrun, a fan-favorite game setting now celebrating it’s 25th anniversary. Shadowrun: Hong Kong is a perfect entry point to the setting for those with no prior Shadowrun experience, while providing plenty of classic Shadowrun characters and tech for veteran players to sink their teeth into.
Command Your Team: Just like Dragonfall, Shadowrun: Hong Kong features a crew of flawed, dangerous runners with backstories that could only be possible in the tech-meets-magic Shadowrun setting. The members of your team are designed to play contrasting roles during missions, and each has a distinct set of skills, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Each team member also has challenges to face in their own lives, which you can choose to brush aside or play an important part in.
Gripping, Turn-Based Tactical Combat: When you’re running the shadows, every turn matters. Choose your actions wisely - move to better cover, charge into melee, or lob a fireball into a crowd of enemies. With over 200 weapons and spells at your disposal, every turn is filled with meaningful choices.
Skill-Based Character Progression: Choose a starting character archetype and build from there! Street Samurai and Physical Adepts use advanced combat skills to dominate the battlefield, Shamans and Mages summon powerful allies and cast deadly spells, while Riggers and Deckers provide critical technological support, projecting their consciousness directly into drones and computer systems. Shadowrun: Hong Kong’s classless skill system allows you to grow your character in any direction you choose.

All the Shadowrun games are awesome, and this one is no different.
Harebrained dropped two of the best CRPG's of the time before anyone else came back around and then dropped off the fucking face of the Earth
This a really fun turn based sci fi/cyberpunk game with deep lore. It doesn’t play like SNES or Sega Shadowrun, but in the same unique universe where Elves and Orcs live amongst human with magic in futuristic cyberpunk universe. This expands onto the Shadowrun Returns game with more story and more turn based combat with magic, guns, samurai sword play with humans, orcs, trolls and shaman. A really unique universe that got me hooked back in the SNES days. There’s even a table top game if you’re into the Dungeons and Dragons type of play. The SNES game got me hooked on the Shadowrun universe so I’m partial to trying out anything related to Shadowrun. That said, this is a really fun turn based combat game. The story is cool and there lots of ways to play and tackle the levels and enemies from magic to guns to samurai sword play. If your into turn based games and like the cyberpunk genre with a magic twist, this is definitely something to try. Where something like Cyber...
The game is actually not that bad and I am sad to give it a negative review, but there are just too many bugs and annoyances in the game to recommend it. The bugs: I had to restart/load an earlier save in the last two missions three times, because of bugs. Once I could not exit combat even though all enemies were defeated, the other time I was stuck in dialogue without being able to exit, the third time I could not interact with any object anymore and also not save the game, which made the story finale an incredibly frustrating experience. Especially because I had to replay a specific hacking part two times. Speaking of the story, I think that it is a bit of a missed chance for something great too. The game has actually only three story missions, everything else is just random jobs, so the main plot does not move forward at all until the last two missions begin and then you suddenly fight a demon god. It would have been nice to have a bit more build up here. Still, the other jobs ar...
This is the best out of three, give it some love.
