Talking small review

A few words about the game Shadowcaster.
This is a classic RPG from 1992.

Game Platform: DosBox 074
Operating System: Win 7 32-bit


This is very user friendly game.
  1. You may save even in a combat.
  2. The opponents are very kind. They, with 1-2 exceptions, never chase you.
Bugs: None
Fails: Maybe 4 save slots only and repeating of the final scene some times.
Food and water: No need
Light: No need. You will find special Light crystal.
Mana and HP: They up when rest.
Enemies: You are able to choose the game difficulty.
Music: Terrible. I cut off the game music and used my audio collection or Internet radio Ja*go.
Sound: So-so.
Game speed: Nice.
Movement management: Smooth and easy.
The saving method is a little strange but the player ...

Advises:
Do not be skinflint and use the potions and wands.
Do not keep them for final battle.
For this battle is required trident only and form of Stone golem.
Do not throw away the empty potions and wands. They are very handy as orientation points in underwater and lava. Because the lighting in these cases is poor they will direct you.

In two words – Excellent RPG game.
I strongly recommend You.


Thank You for reading.
