Shadowrun: Dragonfall is an isometric turn-based RPG set in the future when magic has reappeared. So there's spells and elves as well as cyber hackers and advanced weaponry. The plot of Dragonfall concerns a homicidal dragon Firewing who may not be as dead as everyone hopes.

As you play and gain experience you can upgrade your player character in various disciplines. It is important to be sensible here and not try to be jack of all trades but rather master of a few. Your squad is limited to 4, you can swap in and out your team colleagues. They also can be upgraded as you play but in a simpler fashion.

The graphics may be more basic than some RPGs, there's no spoken dialogue, but the writing and depth of the gameworld is very good. I liked particularly the ethical angle - you get to make hard choices of being ruthless or nice and those choices felt hard.

Besides battles in the physical gameworld you also get to fight in cyberspace. For this you need a character with those skills.
