Publisher’s blurb:
Welcome to the Time of the Red, Choomba! The Megacorporations spent decades wrecking everything and in the aftermath of their last War, everyone has to fend for themselves.
But that’s just fine. You can handle it. After all, in a world of vicious boostergangs, rampaging cyborgs, corporate assassins, and nihilistic doomsday cults, there’s only one rule: Always take it to the Edge.
Take the big risks, get the big rewards. Be the action, start the rebellion, light the fire. Never drive slow when you can blaze a trail.
You’ve hooked your Militech pistol to the interface in your brain; upgraded your cybernetic fist with carbo-glas blades; and installed cybereyes that can pierce through the red haze like morning fog. There’s a world full of opportunities out there, just waiting for the right Edgerunner. Maybe that’s you.
Cyberpunk RED is the latest edition of the classic tabletop roleplaying game of the Dark Future and encompasses everything you need to explore the post-War world of the Time of the Red, including:
A dense, deep-dive into the history and geography of Night City and the greater Cyberpunk world, and plenty of the lore about the Time of the Red.
Ten unique Roles for you to play: charismatic Rockerboys, lethal Solos, quick-hacking Netrunners, inventive Techs, lifesaving (and taking) Medtechs, hard-hitting Medias, duty-bound Lawmen, scheming Execs, clever Fixers, and range-riding Nomads.
A huge collection of useful tools, powerful weapons, protective armor, and gleaming cyberware to help you rule the Street.
Three Screamsheet adventures to show you what Cyberpunk is all about.
Pregenerated opponents perfect for populating the Combat Zones and Corporate compounds, plus encounters that use them to bring the City to life.

A well balanced but questionable iteration of the Cyberpunk universe. The setting is much less interesting than 2020, but it's still compelling. Just more generic. Weapons are far less varied or interesting. A rifle is a rifle and there are no stat differences between them, regardless of manufacturer or function. Netrunning is vastly improved, and roles are more significant, but the system feels less lethal and far more sterile. They even switched combat to a hit point system rather than the brutal wound system of 2020. The art is also far more generic than the older versions of the game. It's still a solid game, but just not the magic of classic Cyberpunk.
