6About Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut
Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director’s Cut is a standalone release of Harebrained Schemes' critically-acclaimed Dragonfall campaign, which first premiered as a major expansion for Shadowrun Returns. The Director's Cut adds a host of new content and enhancements to the original game: 5 all-new missions, alternate endings, new music, a redesigned interface, team customization options, a revamped combat system, and more - making it the definitive version of this one-of-a-kind cyberpunk RPG experience. NOTE: The Director’s Cut is free to existing owners of the Dragonfall expansion for Shadowrun Returns. It will be automatically added to your Steam Library when the game is released.Man Meets Magic & Machine. In 2012, magic returned to our world, awakening powerful creatures of myth and legend. Among them was the Great Dragon Feuerschwinge, who emerged without warning from the mountains of Germany, unleashing fire, death, and untold destruction across the countryside. It took German forces nearly four months to finally shoot her down - and when they did, their victory became known as The Dragonfall. It’s 42 years later - 2054 - and the world has changed.

One of my best buys this year
So if you have already been fortunate enough to play Dragonfall, you may be wondering if this is worth playing again. I can quickly and confidently reply: YES, CHUMMER. I beat Dragonfall about a month and half before Director's Cut released. Other than Earthbound or some Elder Scrolls games, I have never replayed an RPG all the way through again. That won't be an issue here. The devs have added some pretty awesome new missions that serve to flesh out Berlin even more. New characters have been added and now you may learn more about your party members past. Speaking of your fellow Runners, they can now pick new abilities and level along with you. (choose between 2 advancements a level) This was something I found to be missing from the original. There is also the matter of the music. The new music is amazing. The achievements help add more goals to draw you into another play through, but that is just a bonus. There is enough here to bring any fan back. Rare thing for a dev to make a "Director's Cut" with so many improvements and features. Rarer still, one that doesn't charge for existing owners. New Players: If you are a CRPG fan or Shadowrun fan, please skip the original release until AFTER Dragonfall. Think of that as a treat or really good UGC. This really is one of the best games of the year and turn based rpg fans deserve a great game like this. Great characters, story, and fun.

Is this a good game?
Is this a good game? Yes.... BUT and its a big but The game is woefully unpolished. You will often find your units running around doing things you did not tell them to do because the game decided you clicked somwhere you obviously did not. There is no undo action either so you will be forced to roll with your unit running out into the open like an idiot, or save scrum. Also basic features like moving a drone you own or checking its HP out of combat, do not exists. A LOT does not exist out of combat. In one level i hacked a computer and found some pay data on it I could steal. We were in combat so I ignored it, figuring i would just hack back into the computer once we were done... but the game never gave me the option. Once the combat was over the computer became unusable... WHAT? Speaking of which, the game has a nasty habbit of failing to display tooltips for things you can interact with making you miss crucial items or dialogs you could have used durring the mission just because the game forgot to display an "interact" icon. There is a great game in here with a great story but its just hidden under so much rust it can be hard to get down, but if you can live with the above flaws it is a fun playthrough.

Easily my #1 game of 2014
Easily my #1 game of 2014. Everything is superb: * The story stands head and shoulders above what gaming usually offers us these days. Whereas I wasn't going out of my way advertising Dead Man's Switch with all its pitfalls to my friends, in Dragonfall's case the story was my main selling point in word of mouth propaganda campaign I unleashed on acquaintances. The case where main plot is an awesome gripping action thriller that doesn't involve saving the world. Lord knows I'm tired of messianic melodramas. * Solid RPG experience with alternate ways to complete runs and extensive use of skill checks. * Gorgeous art by Unity engine's standards, cyberpunk eye-candy. The environments are crafted with care and meticulous attention to details. * Top-notch diverse music, fitting the setting perfectly. * And now with Director's Cut - finally crisp and utterly enjoyable combat. One major caveat is the delivery. The game has no voice-over or cutscenes. It uses text to a great effect. But it uses A LOT of text, so much so sometimes it almost feels like reading a novel. If that is not your thing... you're missing out. :) 10/10
