Shadowcaster
PRODUCT POSITION
Shadowcaster is a unique, smooth-scrolling, point-of-
view action adventure. You'll swim, fly, and run through
indoor and outdoor environments including dungeons,
caverns, castles, mines and aquatic caves. And you'll
alter shapes at will, with each of the six forms unleash-
ing new powers and revealing new vulnerabilities.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Like the rest of your tribe, you were born with
shapeshifting abilities. When war threatened the
peaceful culture, however, an old man brought you to
the modern world for protection from your enemies.
Your grew up without the knowledge of your morphing
abilities or that evil gods had marked you for destruc-
tion. But when the old man finally tells you of your
background, and how you were named Shadowcaster,
an ancient fury is unleashed and your are sent back in
time with a single instruction - to locate the shrine in
the ruins.
Shadowcaster delivers straight-forward play mechanics
that allow players to master the basics quickly and
immerse themselves immediately in the action. With
the icon-driven interface, a minimum of text, and no
resting, eating or spell memorization, players can
concentrate on the combat and visual puzzles that
keep things moving at breakneck speed.
