Shadowrun for the Sega Mega Drive is a top-down RPG/action game based on the tabletop role-playing game of the same name. Aside from sharing the same source material, it is entirely unrelated to the Sega Mega-CD game.
Contents
Story
The story takes place in Seattle. Joshua, a Shoadowrunner, (term used to describe people who can solve problems for a price, such as mercenaries, spies or fixers) uses the last remaining nuyens in his wallet to travel to the city after he witnesses the death of his brother Michael in a news video. While trying to track down his brother's murderers, Joshua discovers a massive conspiracy that could potentially destroy the city.
Compared to the SNES version, the Mega Drive version of Shadowrun is considered by many as true representation of the table top PnP game due to its focus on the life of a shadowrunner and much more non-linear gameplay.
Gameplay
Shadowrun is a top-down RPG with shooting mechanics. While not exactly a true sandbox game, (like the ones we see today) game consists of large areas connected each other. Many non-playable characters exist in the game, allowing the player to converse with them in order to advance the story, conduct transactions and learn about the world they are witnessing while they are playing.
Players can take jobs from "Mr. Johnson"s (Shadowrun slang for brokers who give jobs to shadowrunners). These jobs are generally randomly created and difficulty is dependent on the person who is giving it, ranging from simple courier jobs to extremely tough extraction or acquisition jobs.
Completing missions will award player "Karma Points", basicly skill points without level up system. These karma points can be used to increase a particular skill when resting in hotels.
Money can be used to purchase weapons, armor, items, magic and cyberware.
"The Matrix" is Shadowrun version of cyberspace, in which players can hack into systems and acquire information, money or other files that can be sold for nuyen.
In addition to weapons, magic can be used for attacking enemies or giving various bonuses to the player.
A recruitment mechanics exists to hire other characters. Depending on how much you are willing to spend, a Shadowrunner can remain for just one job or for long run until you fire them or they are incapacitated during combat.
Archetypes
At the beginning of the game, players can pick any of the three classes. While it is technically possible to created a multi-class character, it is generally advisable to focus on one path (combat, hacking or magic) and stick to it.
Samurai | |
---|---|
Street Samurai is a combat oriented character. He starts the game with several combat related cyberware, better weapons and health. Samurai is the only character in the game to gain karma points by killing enemies which allows easier development. Since a Samurai will not have to worry about magic, he can completely wire himself with cybernetics if he wants to. | |
Decker | |
Shadowrun version of a hacker, Decker starts with equipment and cyberware allows him to dive into the matrix and acquire valuable information that can sold for credits. His combat abilities will be weak throught the game however (if he focuses solely on hacking skills) and he has to rely on other shadowrunners to survive. | |
Gator Shaman | |
Gator Shaman (not to be confused with Mage, which is a completely different class in Shadowrun universe) taps into his deity's power to bring his magic skills into combat. Shaman must carry his totem with him at all times, which means one less item slot. Shaman must also stay away from cyberaware. A stat called "Essence" is necessary for successfully casting magic and this stat drops permamently if cyberwares are installed. |
Attributes
Attributes and skills can be upgraded using "Karma" points which are acquired after completing missions, runs or killing enemies. Attributes require the same amount of karma points to upgrade to the desired level. For example, increasing Body from 5 to 6 requires 6 karma points. Players must stat at a hotel to spend karma points.
- Body: Health points for the characters. Works in both combat and matrix. Must be maxed if possible.
- Quickness: Movement speed and attack speed. Very important for flanking or keeping distance from enemies.
- Strenght: Melee damage and grenade accuracy.
- Charisma: Fast-talking other characters and lowering hiring costs for the other shadowrunners. Very important for Corp-runs.
- Intelligence: Attack speed and accuracy in both combat and cybercombat.
- Willpower: Reduces mana drain from spells and mana spells. Also increases attack speed. Max out for magic user characters.
- Essence: How "fleshy" the character is. Affects magical healing. Cannot be increased. Starts at 6 and lowers everytime you install a cyberware. If you are a magic user keep it at max and stay away from cyberware.
- Magic: Affects the level of spells can be learned. Reduces evertime a cyberware installed. Keep it at 6 for magic-users.
Skills
Skills also increase abilities with a focus on a particular field. Maximum rank for a skill is 12. Unlike attributes, increasing a skill requires double karma points for the desired level. For example, increasing a skill from level 11 to level 12 requires 24 karma points.
- Sorcery: Increases damage and defence with magic. Max out for magic users.
- Firearms: Increases skills for all weapon types.
- Pistols: Increases skills for pistols but costs only half karma points.
- SMGs: See above.
- Shotguns: See above.
- Melee Combat: Increases damage with empty hand or melee cyberware weapons.
- Throwing: Damage and accuracy with grenades.
- Computer: Attack and defence in matrix. Max out for Deckers or Samurais.
- Biotech: Increases healing when a medkit is used.
- Electronics: Affects success rate when using a Maglock Passkey on Maglocks.
- Reputation: Your overall infamy. High reputation can get you into places you wouldn't normally allowed or forced to pay to get in. Only Joshua's reputation affects anything.
- Negotiation: Affects buying-selling prices and getting more money for completing runs. At least one characters, preferably Joshua should max this out.
Equipment
Weapons, accessories, items, armor and magic can be purchased or sold in shops around the Seattle. Negotiation skill affects the overall price.
For weapons, Damage means damage to enemies while power means gun's stunning power.
Keep in mind that, several items are considered "ILLEGAL" in the game.

Shadowrunners
Various people around the Seattle can be recruited into your team if you can pay for their services. Shadowrunners can be hired for either one job, or for the long term. If hired for a short duration they will stick around until a run is complete, fired or they (or Joshua) are knocked out. If hired for long term they will stay with Joshua until fired or knocked out.
Just like Joshua, Shadowrunners gain Karma points which can be used to improve their stats and skills. Players can also purchase equipment, weapons, spells and even cyberware for them.
Technically speaking, all Shadowrunners in the game, even the low level ones can be built into powerhouses as long as you let them tag along and build their abilities.
- Ricky: Dwarf Rat Shaman. High Body and Strenght scores but Quickness is less than ideal. First Shadowrunner you will encounter, Ricky will not ask too much in return of tagging along.

- Trent: Human mage. Balanced overall stats with dangerously low Body stat. Overall nice guy, Trent is very friendly towards Joshua and even gives away Prof. Jefferson for free. He is cheap but you have to something about his low health. Can be found at Space Needle in Downtown Seattle. Starts with: Flame Dart 2, Heal Wounds 2, Rockskin 3.
- Winston Marrs: An Troll samurai with a battle lust and lots of terrible jokes. Being a Troll, his Body and Strenght stats can be increased beyond the limit. He can take a lot damage without dying and also can be powerful melee fighter or a gunner, especially if he is cybered-up. Can be found at The Big Rhino in Penumbra District.

Starts with: Hand Razors, Muscle Replacement 1, Wired Reflexes 1.
- Stark: Human Samurai. Stark is a secret recruitable NPC who can join you if you complete a secret, unmarked quest to save his life.
