A Roleplaying game created in 1988 and set in the 2040's to 2060's the game is classic cyberpunk style with the addition of magic, it is characterized by its brilliant concept, bad 80's movie feel, and impossibly slow to use game mechanic.
Note: Shadowrun invented the concept of zombies being caused by a disease and not the supernatural.
Shadowrun also invented (in 1988 when the game was first created)the concept of taking a device which looked a lot like a headphone jack and "jacking in" to an crainially interfaced computer world with very lifelike avatars and sensations, navigation through a 3D world with visual metaphors for files and programs, fighting "Agents", and hey, does this sound at all like any movies anyone has watched recently?

Get the Shadowrun mug.Shadowhunters are humans who protect and govern the mundanes and downworlders in Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices.
Shadowhunters are humans who are born with the blood of the Angel Raziel. They 'control' the shadow world and those who live in it e.g. downworlders (warlocks, fairies, vampires, werewolves)and demons. Their mandate is to keep the peace in the Shadow World and keep it hidden from the mundane world while protecting the inhabitants of both worlds.
Shadowhunters despite having the blood of the Angel, are mortal and therefore vulnerable to old age and death; however, their angelic blood gives them special abilities (that mundanes do not posses)that allow them to slay demons and have somewhat special powers through runes.

Get the Shadowhunters mug.An elite group of fictional warriors (from the City of Bones books)
Trained since childhood to fight and slay the downworlders, demons and faeries that attempt to create havoc on earth.
Shadowhunters are different from humans which they call "mundanes", the Shadowhunters are what you could call an enhanced race of humans
Shadowhunters are physically marked with Runes over their skin, the older or more elite a Shadowhunter, the more Runes they will have
The Runes create different types of effects, some are defensive and some aid strength etc.
these Runes are tattooed onto the Shadowhunter using a Stele (a specially crafted Shadowhunter weapon)
Its a really cool concept so go read Cassandra Clare's books:
City of Bones
City of Ashes &
City of Glass
And Yes, I do have way too much time on my hands :)

Get the Shadowhunters mug.An actual good mobile game which is pretty tame in terms of microtransactions: the loot boxes are purely for cosmetics and stuff that you can earn in game, no content locked in them or behind paywalls. No p2w, which is always good. Recommended for fans of games like Destiny and Warframe, good game with a similar Destiny formula to pick up and play on the go.
