Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown

Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown is a tactical, turn-based action-strategy game with RPG elements, set in the Shadowrun universe. You lead a team of Shadowrunners, secret operatives hired for jobs that corporations want kept at arm’s length, and investigate a conspiracy threatening thousands of lives in a city on the brink of extinction.

A city in crisis

A deadly virus has spread through the city as a megacorporation’s minions, infected attackers and a rampaging dragon add to the danger. You uncover the secret that connects these threats while trying to save lives.

The game takes place in a dystopian near future where magic has awakened and blends with technology. Elves, Dwarves, Orks and Trolls walk the neon-lit streets, while the matrix connects people and systems beneath the shadows of corporate towers. Your actions also shape the future of the Shadowrun universe.

Build your Shadowrunner

Create an individual character using a level-free system with over 60 combat and non-combat skills, unique backgrounds and five metahuman races. Develop your character and choose how to combine skills, magic and technology: for example, a former Troll bouncer can become a drone-controlling Rigger, or a spellcasting mage can add sniper skills.

You can equip your team with armor, augmentations, cyberware, magic and weapons. Use grenades, mana balls or hacking to deal with enemies or bypass security systems. More than 50 enemy types include vicious gangers, combat drones and corporate wagemages.

Plan and fight

Combat is challenging and turn-based, with each move important. Use cover, find alternate routes with your skills, send drones or spirits into battle, and draw on a wide range of skills, magic, technology and weapons. Charging in with guns blazing can get you into trouble.

Campaign and co-op

Shadowrun Chronicles includes an extensive single-player campaign and live co-op. Build a team of runners or join other players, combining their skills, magic and technology to face missions. Meet other runners in the Back Alley, team up with friends, or hire henchmen—including other players’ characters—to take along on missions.
