The Kickstarter funded Shadowrun Online has finally gone live, and is now available via Steam Early Access. The game was successfully funded with just over $500,000 dollars in August of 2012, and sets the stage for a world filled with creatures straight out of Lord of the Rings, and even Street Samurais!

The game is a cross platform, online based, tactical turn-based RPG that is now available via the aforementioned Early Access on PC, Mac, Linux, while the iOS, Android and Ouya versions, as well as the final complete version on Steam, are all coming later this year.

Here are some of the official features for the game on Steam:

• Class-Free Character Creation: Create your own Shadowrunner and skill any way you want, with a ton of visual customization options.
• Items: Weapons, armour and cyberware, magic talismans and cyberdecks: Loot them, buy them or upgrade existing items. Our item system separates the visual aspects from the item ability, so no need to wear a silly hat just for the bonus it grants!
• Co-op or single player mission gameplay: Play with your friends or lead a team yourself, when you want to play solo.
• Dynamic Security and Alarm Levels: Depending on what you do in a mission you may trip alerts, making some missions more difficult – or shut off the alarm in time.
• PvP duels and PvP Missions: Test your Shadowrunners in PvP against other players.
• Evolving world campaign: New content will be released based on the collective actions of the players. This is your world!
• Tough missions: Because life in the shadows is never easy!

The Early Access version of Shadowrun Online is actually a prequel to the main campaign, so unfortunately you won’t be able to get a taste of the full game just yet. The Early Access price is usually $29.99, but for a limited time (until April 7th) you can get it for 30% percent off, at a measly $20.99 dollars.
