Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut

Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut is a standalone, story-driven campaign set in a dystopian future where magic and technology coexist. In 2054, you lead a team of battle-scarred shadowrunners in Berlin's Flux State, a splintered Germany governed by stable anarchy. A deadly conspiracy and rumors that the Great Dragon Feuerschwinge may still be alive draw you into a threat that could bring chaos and devastation.

Story and setting

Magic returned to the world in 2012, awakening creatures from myth and legend. The Great Dragon Feuerschwinge emerged from Germany's mountains and devastated the countryside; German forces took nearly four months to bring her down, an event remembered as the Dragonfall. Forty-two years later, unchecked technology has blurred the line between people and machines. Elves and trolls live among humans, while ruthless corporations exploit the world.

Berlin's Flux State offers shadowrunners a place to find work, where power is fleeting and connections can mean the difference between success and starvation. The campaign runs for more than 20 hours and follows a branching narrative with a diverse cast of characters.

Lead your team

You command a small crew of shadowrunners, each with their own outlook, motives, backstory, skills, strengths and weaknesses. Team members have contrasting roles in missions, as well as personal challenges you can choose to address or set aside. As they develop, you can choose focus options that grant them new items and abilities, and customize the spells, items and weapons they bring on missions.

You choose a starting character archetype and develop your character through a classless skill system. Street Samurai and Physical Adepts specialize in combat, Shamans and Mages summon allies and cast spells, while Riggers and Deckers provide technological support by projecting their consciousness into drones and computer systems.

Tactical combat

Combat is turn-based, and each turn offers choices such as moving to cover, charging into melee or throwing a fireball at a group of enemies. More than 200 weapons and spells give you options in battle. An armor system adds another tactical layer, while cover and damage mechanics put emphasis on positioning; the upgraded AI responds more intelligently to your actions.

Director's Cut content

The Director's Cut adds five original missions, including three tied to the personal stories of team members. These missions visit previously unseen locations in and beyond the Flux State, where you face challenging enemies and make choices to help your crew. The campaign also has alternate endings, expanded development for several side characters, and new bioware augmentations, items, cyberware and spells.

The release also includes a redesigned interface that makes spells, items and abilities easier to access, with improved feedback during combat. Other additions include new visual effects, improved animations, optional post-processing effects, further player customization, and writing and design refinements.

Music and extras

Composer Jon Everist contributed ten new tracks, including music based on individual team members' stories. The Director's Cut also includes the complete soundtracks from Dragonfall and Shadowrun Returns, including its new tracks. It features Steam Achievements and Trading Cards.
