Terrible game
This review is maybe not fair because of the low price of the game but i write it anyway because it still has the worth of a loaf of bread.
Caster is an extremely short game that is not finished. It came out in 2009 and for what it is, it had nice graphical effects, good upbeat music and fast action game play.
However, every level is the same, a big sandbox in which you collect some orbs or kill some enemies. There is no story, no character bonding, you are a puppet with a scary blend face, shooting stuff.
The campaign is incredibly short and the levels are super, super easy. The upgrade system is pointless because there are not enough levels to reach max stats and repeating earlier levels is the last thing i want to do. You reach max stats when you finish the game, at which it has no use anymore.
The controls are somewhat clunky and in the big "fall into a pit and trying to get back out" levels, the camera is horrible.
Like I said, it is extremely cheap and if you have 2-3 hours to spend, why not. But the message "coming soon, check casterthegame.com" will kill all satisfaction you might have when you reach the end. I feel that I did not complete the game.
It is this kinds of games, bold initiatives with some potential that bleed out into obscurity and are left to rot, that I hate the most.
So even for 1 miserable dollar/euro, it has nothing to offer.
