Microsoft's Shadowrun ships as a fully multiplayer-only team-based FPS in a cyber-fantasy world. The pitch is genuinely appealing, but the lack of solo content and a thin community buried the project fast. An online-only curiosity.
A multiplayer FPS from FASA Studio, Shadowrun marries competitive shooting with elements of the original cyberpunk fantasy role playing game, with races of distinct abilities, spells and tech abilities purchasable mid match. The tactical depth born from mixing magic and firearms and the balance between approaches win over fans of demanding versus. The absence of a solo mode and the server closure sealed its fate. A curiosity for fans of original tactical FPS and nostalgics of the Shadowrun world.
