ShadowCaster had an incredible level of detail and interactivity in its environments. The game's slower pace made you really appreciate the scenario. Its unique gameplay is an Action/Adventure hybrid with subtle RPG elements as well, reminiscent of Ultima Underworld with more of an Action focus. Raven Software is an incredibly talented studio that has unfortunately been relegated to making DLC for Activision's Call of Duty franchise. Their legacy should be preserved for future generations to appreciate the impact they made in the early days of 3D gaming.
I remember my dad playing this game when I was a kid. It was one of the first games he showed me that I remember really carrying my love as an RPG in a way. It had solid gameplay and unique gameplay, & story as well.
One of the first RPG that I played as a kid. This was a gateway to others, such as Ultima Series, Final Fantasy, and Elder Scrolls. I really enjoyed the story and how to find different powers to enable you to move forward.
This Was one of my first game I play on my PC in 1993. My parents buy for my PC in ADAX store and Clerk at shop proposed that He can copy for my Two games on Floppys onxe was ShadowCaster the other was UFO Enemy Unknown
Got this first on floppy, later on CD with massive cut screen improvements music an an extra level.

It maintains the appearance of a jet, but the thrusters become the legs and are pointed downwards allowing mid-air hovering. Used for ground missions and low altitude fighting, where both missiles and guns are needed.

Arc the Lad IIThis direct sequel to "Arc the Lad" continues the unfinished story of the first game, but starts from a totally different perspective. You control a bounty-hunter named Elk, who suffers from amnesia. On his quest for his own true identity he discovers the powers hidden within him, and the destiny of his entire tribe. While pursuing his archenemy, Elk meets up with Arc, the hero of the first game, and then both realize they have been looking to destroy the very same evil.
The battle system of "Arc the Lad II" is similar to the one used in its predecessor: in battles you can move your characters on the battle field, and your proximity to the enemies plays an important role. You cause and take different amounts of damage depending on your position on the battle field. Unlike the first game, this one is a full-fledged adventure/RPG, without the "strategy" feel of the predecessor. You move through the game world on your own, visiting towns and exploring dungeons.Fantasy
