14 DAY TRIAL // Shadowrun: Hong Kong, the third standalone game in the new Shadowrun series developed by Harebrained Schemes, has been released on Steam, GOG, and Humble Bundle, and a Linux version is also available.
Shadowrun is a turn-based RPG that made a really big impact when it was first released. It was one of the most successful Kickstarter projects and its makers released the original title on the Linux platform as well and continued to do the same with the next ones. It's built on the Unity engine (nothing to do with Canonical), so it runs natively on Linux.
"Shadowrun: Hong Kong is the third standalone game in Harebrained Schemes’ critically-acclaimed Shadowrun cRPG series. Experience the most impressive Shadowrun RPG yet with an all new crew, expanded magic and cyberware, a completely revamped Matrix, an upgraded release of the Shadowrun Editor, and much more! 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," reads the Steam entry.
The system requirements for Shadowrun: Hong Kong are pretty low, and everyone should be able to play it. Users will need any modern Linux distribution, a five-year old CPU, 2 GB of RAM, a modern video card with 256MB of VRAM, and 10GB of HDD space.
The game has been very well received by the community, and it can be found in other stores as well, such as GOG or Humble Bundle.
