- Games like Fire Emblem on PC 2023 - 9 September 2020
What PC games are like Fire Emblem? Many games bring aspects of the popular RPG franchise to PC. Of course, you're not going to get an exact replica of the Nintendo-developed Fire Emblem, but whatever it is that intrigues you about the games, whether you've played them or not, there'll be something on this list for you. Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a unique union of Persona and grid-based warfare. It manages to make building an army fun as well as a megalomaniacal necessity and is firmly one of the best tactical RPGs around. Since the fantasy games series is exclusive to Nintendo platforms, though, it's perfectly understandable why you might be looking for a PC alternative. So don't despair; there are a ton of similar games available right now, and we've listed them right here. Read the rest of the story...

- Hitman and Shadowrun are free on the Epic Games Store - 28 August 2020
Two different illicit gig economy experiences are yours for free this week on the Epic Games Store, which is currently giving away 2016’s stealth assassination game Hitman and a collection of the Shadowrun cyberpunk fantasy RPGs. Sure, basically you’re being paid to kill and rob people in both, but you’ll go about it in different ways. (more…)
- Distract the kids this Cyber Monday with Shadowrun s old live-action promo - 26 November 2018
Much as wee Christmaseers watch The Snowman instead of Bad Santa, and diddy Star Warries watch Star Wars: The Clone Wars instead of The Star Wars Christmas Special, minuscule cyberpunks have something short and colourful to suit their attention spans as we celebrate Cyber Monday . FASA, the company behind Shadowrun (best known on PC for the crowdfunded Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun: Hong Kong ) made a live-action short film to promote the cyberpunk fantasy tabletop RPG. The four-minute vid has everything a child wants on Cyber Monday: colours; costumes; CGI sequences set inside a computer; and no difficult plot to follow. That’ll get the kiddywinkles out our vertical hair for a few minutes. (more…)
- Shadowrun Returns is free on the Humble store - 22 June 2018
If you ve been following all of our Cyberpunk 2077 coverage and thinking it could really do with some Orcs, you re in luck. No, CD Projekt Red isn t injecting magic into their sci-fi RPG , but some magical cyberpunk is free on the Humble store right now. Shadowrun Returns can be yours for nothing at all, as long as you snatch it up in the next day. It s not as good as its follow-ups, Dragonfall and Hong Kong , but it s a great, if a bit brief, introduction to universe. (more…)
- Paradox buying BattleTech studio Harebrained Schemes - 5 June 2018
Paradox Interactive have announced they are buying Harebrained Schemes, expanding their power as the heavyweight champ of traditional PC gaming. Y’know, Paradox, the Swedish mob who make games including Crusader Kings II and Stellaris as well as publishing loads more. And y’know, Harebrained Schemes, the American studio behind Shadowrun and BattleTech – and which was co-founded by a fella who helped create those tabletop worlds, Jordan Weisman. Paradox published BattleTech and evidently they got on so well they want to tie the knot. It sounds like the plan is for Harebrained to continue as before, including making more BattleTech, only now with more security. (more…)

- Kickstarter s Head Of Games: Kickstarter Fatigue Only Lasts Until Someone Sees Their Favourite Game Pop Up - 14 July 2016
At this year’s Develop conference in Brighton, I grabbed an hour with keynote speaker Luke Crane, Head of Games at Kickstarter , to talk about the state of play of videogames on the crowdfunding platform in 2016. Discussed: what makes a good project now, the odds of making it, ‘Kickstarter fatigue’ and the question of glory days, Kickstarter’s reaction to funded projects that are not then released, the importance of community, how the press can be unhelpful and whether or not famous names are dominating the ecosystem at the expense of smaller developers. …

- Shadowrun: Hong Kong Extended Edition Coming Soon - 3 February 2016
You can hang up your cool leather jacket and grow out your sloppy neon haircut, oh I know, but part of you will always want to yell “HACK THE PLANET!” and stick it to the megacorps. Harebrained Schemes just can’t stop slipping back out into the grimy streets of our cyberpunk future. They revisted Shadowrun: Dragonfall with a Director’s Cut, and now they’re returning to Shadowrun: Hong Kong to expand it a bit with hours more stuff to do. What they’re working on is a bit vague for now, but the important bit is that it’ll be free. …
- Shadowrun Devs Roguelike Necropolis Out In March - 22 January 2016
Harebrained Schemes don’t only create remakes of olden meatspace games, you know. They only do that when they want to raise millions of dollars on Kickstarter. In between last year’s Shadowrun: Hong Kong and next year’s Battletech do-over, they’re realising a ‘procedural death labyrinth’ (a roguelike, then) called Necropolis , to which they’ve just announced the addition of four-player co-op. The thing’s also due out in March, and some of you may be relieved to hear that it’s skipping the whole early access thing. …
