Outcast is a 3D third-person (with an optional first-person view) action game with adventure elements. In search of five sacred relics, the protagonist travels through the five continents of Adelpha (plus one tutorial island). Each land has its own landscape (mountains, lakes, forests), populated areas, as well as dozens of minor problems - small quests that the hero is required to solve. Most Talans populating the world can be conversed with about a variety of topics. A large portion of the game consists of finding key characters and performing quests for them; some of these are optional, though most must be completed in an adventure-like linear fashion in order to advance the plot. Cutter is free to travel between the continents using special portals. Apart from exploration and completing quests, Cutter will also fight many guards and creatures. At his disposal are six futuristic weapons (railgun and others); ammunition for those guns is scattered around and can also be produced by mixing items. Aiming help is provided in the form of laser sights. Sneaking up to the enemy and punching him out silently is also possible. Gadgets such as a holo-decoy can be used to help Cutter gain the upper hand in combat. The player character can also jump, climb, swim, dive, crawl, and ride a local animal known as Twon-Ha for faster travel. Read less

Silly, cute, dated

You are "Cutter Slade" (yes, that's your real name) and you travel to an alien planet to save Earth. You wake up to discover aliens who conveniently speak English, have tons of ammo for your gun laying around and believe you are Jesus.

You are "Cutter Slade" (yes, that's your real name) and you travel to an alien planet to save Earth. You wake up to discover aliens who conveniently speak English, have tons of ammo for your gun laying around and believe you are Jesus.

Outcast was updated to allow for modern resolutions in 2014 and it worked without a hitch. Unfortunately, it has some problems. One are the really bizarre controls. You use WASD to navigate menus and confirm with Left Mouse. Why not just let me use the mouse to navigate?? Saving is done with an item and is quite tedious. You run by default but you're still quite slow. The game definitely looks old of course.

The biggest problem is knowing that there's a remake. I mostly just tried the original to see if i was interested in the remake and i am, but i wouldn't want anyone to think this is still worth playing.
