I think something was lost in translation.
Tabletop Shadowrun always required at minimum, 3-4 roles.
1. The Bruiser. A Street Samurai, Physical Adept, or other archetype whose main job was shit-kicking.
2. The Hacker.
3. The Mage. (could be switched with hacker depending upon whether the campaign was heavily magic or heavily tech)
4. The Getaway Driver.
#4 is pretty much missing from the game. There may be a possibility for story roll-checks to salvage it for drone riggers but there's no way it can be part of the core experience. And #2/#3 is pretty much pointless as well. There's only rooms for asskickers in these campaigns to fill things full of holes faster. In good Shadowrun campaigns, the more interesting parts were where fast talking or smarts were necessary more than gunplay, but there's no room for that kind of subtlety in most game series. |

So what's the final verdict on this game? Positive or negative? NT by MM 12/10/2013, 7:01am PST 
Positive, despite flaws. I dug it. Restarting missions blows so git gud fagits NT by Last 12/10/2013, 9:07am PST

The Android version is the Anti-Jonsey by Lettuphant 12/11/2013, 4:26am PST
The devs could make it save on exit if they wanted to, same as they could for PC NT by Last 12/11/2013, 11:47am PST
Never played tabletop so for me was just a linear rpg, got bored with it by end NT by Roop 12/11/2013, 6:04am PST
missing all the positives of the snes version, so it's basically just xcom NT by the truth 12/11/2013, 9:58am PST
That could still be kewl. Any thoughts on the combat system itself? by Mischief Maker 12/11/2013, 5:39pm PST
The SNES version had positives? It was okay, but genesis version was better NT by WITTGENSTEIN 12/11/2013, 5:48pm PST
It sure did have positives by The Thriller 12/14/2013, 5:28pm PST
The writing/atmosphere is the best part. The gameplay serves its purpose. by WITTGENSTEIN 12/14/2013, 5:09pm PST
