ShadowCaster es el segundo juego que realizó Raven Software. Al igual que su primer juego, Black Crypt (ver vídeo en el canal) se trata de un RPG en primera persona, solo que este con un motor en tiempo real, más concretamente una versión mejorada del motor de Wolfenstein 3D. Parece que aquí comenzó la colaboración entre id Software y Raven.

Supongo que en 1993 este juego impresionó bastante al tener un motor que permitía moverse libremente, a diferencia de los RPG similares de la época en los que el movimiento era mediante casillas e imágenes fijas (aunque ahí estaba Ultima Underworld).

Este juego no lo había jugado nunca hasta ahora, aunque lo conocía de verlo en las revistas de la época. Me parece un buen RPG, si bien creo que los hay mejores, y me gusta más su anterior juego, Black Crypt, aunque sea más primitivo. Lo mejor sin duda son las transformaciones y las habilidades que proporcionan, son varias las criaturas en las que nos podemos transformar, aunque en este gameplay solo llego a tener una.

El juego tiene mucha acción y algunos puzzles interesantes, en general, es un juego entretenido, si somos capaces de verlo como el juego antiguo que es, un tanto desfasado en algunas de sus mecánicas. Lo peor sin duda es la música, tremendamente repetitiva, además, ¿por qué tiene que sonar una fanfarria cada vez que matamos a un enemigo? En fin, afortunadamente se puede desactivar en menú de opciones.

-----------------------------------

ShadowCaster is Raven Software's second game. Like heir first game, Black Crypt (see video on the channel), it's a first-person RPG, only this one with a real-time engine, more specifically an improved version of the Wolfenstein 3D engine. It seems that this is where the collaboration between id Software and Raven started.

I guess back in 1993 this game was quite impressive by having an engine that allowed you to move freely, unlike similar RPGs of the time in which movement was in a grid and still images (although there were Ultima Underworld).

I had never played this game before, although I knew it from seeing it in the magazines of the time. I think it's a good RPG, although I think there are better ones, and I like its previous game more, although more primitive. Without a doubt, the best thing about the game are the transformations and the skills they provide, there are several creatures that we can transform into, although in this gameplay I only got to have one.

The game has a lot of action and some interesting puzzles, in general, it's an entertaining game, if we are able to see it as the old game that it is, somewhat outdated in some of its mechanics. The worst thing is undoubtedly the music, extremely repetitive, besides, why does a fanfare have to sound every time we kill an enemy? Anyway, fortunately it can be disabled in the options menu.
