How it plays

How does Shadowrun play?

The game uses a top-down, real-time perspective. Jake explores Seattle districts, enters buildings, talks with contacts, gathers clues, and accepts missions from fixers and other characters.

Combat uses ranged weapons, melee attacks, spells, and cyberware. Money and karma support equipment purchases and skill improvements, while contacts and discovered information open new routes through the campaign.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Shadowrun?

Keep enough money for ammunition, healing, and essential equipment instead of spending everything immediately. Talk to contacts repeatedly; new information and mission opportunities can appear after story progress.

Improve the abilities that match your preferred approach, and use cover, distance, and healing during difficult fights. Record clues and locations, since the game expects players to revisit places and connect information.
