For a Unity game, they sure are taking their sweet time.

VOGL support really makes this an attractive option. All we need now is a linux editor!

Yes, let’s port an N64 FPS to Linux. Because if there’s one thing Linux needs are more retrograde first person shooters.

Game: Shadowurn Returns: Dragonfall <- we do this unless a thing drops

Devel: Harebrained Schemes

Engine: Unity

Price: $19.99 (base game) + $14.99 (Dragonfall)

Wazzat: 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 finally did, the event became known as the Dragonfall.

I’m sorry but conflict does not work that way. I’ve worked as a bouncer on two continents and guess what. They don’t take turns.

I like it. Its like a retarded up version of actual Shadowrun Rules
Admittedly, this might be my tabletop nostalgia talking

P-

Without the Dragonfall expansion it’d only get 2 chairs on the fun.
Combat feels so very shallow. Even Fallout 1 & 2 in 97/98 had a much more visceral combat experience. Spells might as well be spitballs shot out of a straw.
