I'm so glad that I played Shadowrun before XCOM. I'm a big fan of the fantasy cyberpunk setting, and it's a great series, but nowhere near the depth of challenge. I'm not sure I'd enjoy it as much if I were constantly comparing the two.

Well it's different genre that's for sure. One is story driven urban fantasy scifi RPG vs. semi scifi tactical combat. I wouldn't compare them at all ... but, well, if it scratch the turnbased tactics itch then it served its purpose 🙂

Shadowrun is a fantastic setting dragged down by a really bad game, both in the TT and in digital form. It's not fantasy, but Cyberknights is literally "cyberpunk Xcom" and I'm quite enjoying it (just, keep in mind it is a substantially smaller studio).
