** Docwagon works as an instant-revive, rather than having to wait for them to show up, secure the area, and try to heal you on the spot.
** Matrix combat is ''much'' simpler than in the pen & paper game.
** Spells have cooldown time rather than drain. And, you don't pay karma for every single spell but instead unlock higher forces of spells and spell slots, then buy formulae for each spell & force level combination. This way, there is less work to managing your spells.
** Spirits require either consumable magic fetishes or special points on the map, so that you cannot just conjure spirits all the time.

* ShownTheirWork: The development team working on the game is located in the greater Seattle metropolitan area, and their familiarity shows by peppering small RealLife landmarks around the game's environments. For example, the Pike Place Market sign is still present, though the neighborhood around it has changed. Sometimes this is reflected in the concept art, like a piece which shows the Smith Tower against the background of the Renraku Arcology.[[note]]Ironically, the Renraku Arcology described in the books occupies the place where the Smith Tower should stand. Either Shadowrun Returns {{Retcon}}s the exact location of the archology, or the Smith Tower was somehow moved.[[/note]]

''Shadowrun Returns'' is a VideoGame based on the ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' franchise, and the [[VideoGame/{{Shadowrun}} forth video game in that setting]].
Developed by Hairbrained Schemes, designed by Jordan Weisman[[note]](founder of FASA and co-creator of the original ''Shadowrun'')[[/note]] and Mitch Gitelman[[note]](producer for most of the Microsoft FASA-licensed games including the Xbox 360 / Windows Vista ''Shadowrun'' game [[TheAtoner about which he apologizes]])[[/note]], it was crowd-funded through Website/{{Kickstarter}} in March of 2012. The Kickstarter was a huge success, hitting several stretch goals, with lots of {{Feelies}} for backers and the first DownloadableContent pack (set in {{Berlin}}) included for free.
Set in UsefulNotes/{{Seattle}}, the player takes the role of a Shadowruner (of their own customization) who is investigating the death of their old friend Sam, both for their own reasons and at the request of Sam's sister Jessica, and the plot quickly escalates from there.
The game is tentatively set for release in June 2013.
