Key Features

  • Gripping Tactical Combat: When you’re running the shadows, every turn matters. Choose your actions wisely - move to better cover, charge into melee, or lob a fireball into a crowd of enemies.

A successful run requires commanding a team of runners with the right balance of combat, tech, and magical abilities.

Want to start summoning spirits as an ork Shaman and evolve into a cybered-up weapon specialist? Do it!
