ShadowCaster for IBM PC Compatibles was one of my first FPS experiences. Released on floppy during 1993 for DOS, it was based around id software’s raycasting engine which was somewhere between Wolfenstein 3D and Doom in it’s abilities. In Shadowcaster you play as a chap called Kirt. You possess abilities to shapeshift, and you generally have to defeat evil demons in order to save your kind and possibly the world. You know the score.

One of the best game ever released in 93 !!
game doesnt appeal to me
I wish Raven Software were making cool games still. Nowadays Activision has them helping with the Call of Duty series
I remember this game. I loved it as a kid.
Origin was not yet owned by EA in 1993. Origin was still Origin back then.
So many fond memories playing ShadowCaster!
I knew about this game, but never played. Of Raven Software however, a game that I really liked from them was Heretic. Guess it takes a bit of this game. Fantasy realm, uses an ID engine (doom engine this time), inventory system with many magical items… Really enjoyed. Hexen was also pretty good, but Heretic 2 was kinda meh imo.
Anyway, I'll try it later. This one seems fun too.
Wow, Raven Software was already active back then?! I never realized they were so old.
Actually it makes sense he doesn't know how to shape shift because if no one else you know can do it why would you think you could and therefore try?

God I must be getting old, I still remember when this was new
You should take an eye on "Lands of Lore". I found especially Part II "Guardians of Destiny" from 1997 pretty convincing in terms of storytelling and open world feeling.
I don't know how this game slipped by me, this is the first time I've heard of it and I should have noticed it in magazines at the time.
You've forgot to mention 2 factors that kinda ruin this game.
1. the random amount of damage that you do.
sometimes enemies go down fast, sometimes it takes ages, it even led to some deaths.
2. The musical fanfare after every enemy death.
I like it, but like every other Raven game that wasn't Heretic/Hexen at the time they kinda fail.
this was only notable for me in that it came bundled with the Logitech Cyberman, a 3d mouse that looked really useful for games like this and Mechwarrior. I saved up for it and finally bought one, only to discover that it was actually really, really shit. Still ranks as my most regretted purchase ever.
Still lovin all your reviews mate👍🏻👏🏻Cheers from Australia 🍻🍻
Sweet highlight of this more obscure FPS, I quite like the story and engine features. I kind of wish more games were made for this particular iD engine iteration with Wolf3D being too simple and Doom being too hard for many 16 & 32-bit platforms.
I loved Privateer!
so its altered beast meets ,doom,meet wolfenstein.
Looks a bit like 'Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss' (1992).
Looks cool.
I love that unarmed attack. It looks like an aggressive handshake
Detracts rather than detaches I would say. Reminds me a little of an early Hexen in places
Raven was responsible for some of the coolest damn games I've ever played.
Great game and awesome video 😉

You should review Whitchaven just for my nostalgic sake
I too posses the power to karate chop plants to death.
Thanks for reviewing this. ShadowCaster was the second PC game I ever bought. I finished it and have fond memories. If I could buy this on GOG, I totally would…
This game is a really weird allegory of puberty and being a furry and scalie and having agalmatophilia.
I think you should drop the score at the end. It undermines all the review.
Never heard of it. Weird.
Looks mostly like a poor man's Ultima Underworld to me, a game which came out the previous year. If you've played that game, is there any reason to recommend ShadowCaster over it?
Great review. I have fond memories of ShadowCaster. I remember one character, Kahpa I believe, had very slow regenerating health. When me and my brother played the game and our health got low, we turned off the CRT and came back when the health has regenerated.
I also remember the larger enemies got stuck on sides of geometry because they wanted to walk a straight line towards you, although they couldn't. Shooting them while they were stuck was a nice cheap strategy, especially against the end boss.
I want another fantasy Raven Software style of game…
Now they are divided between Raven software working on CoD and Human Head, developing almost nothing, unfortunately.
I really got into games like this. Heretic and Hexen were awesome, and I also played a game called Witchhaven.
