Outcast 1.1
Description
Outcast 1.1 has been recompiled from the original source code and improved to run smoothly on today's computers.The main improvements compared to the original version are: multithreaded voxel renderer for higher performances, software bilinear filtering on polygonal meshes, part of the HUD redesigned to match higher resolutions, new high-resolution sky paintings, new launcher, native support of xbox gamepad, user-friendly controller configuration, a lot of bugs fixed and improved stability.
Please note: Outcast Classic remains available for download as a bonus goodie.
As part of a covert experiment, the US military deployed a probe designed to prove the existence of a parallel universe hidden from our own. Although the probe successfully entered the alternate universe and reached a planet called Adelpha, its first crucial data transmission is mysteriously cut short.
The probe's unexpected demise triggers a disastrous chain of events resulting in the creation of a black hole, one that threatens to destroy the Earth. Unless the missing probe can somehow be found and repaired, planet Earth itself is doomed.

Soundtrack is a gem
Except for being an absolutely marvelous adventure game this game also got the best soundtrack I've ever heard. If you like classical music you should seriously buy this game just for the soundtrack.

masterpiece
the greatest game ever created, filled to the brim with creativity and charm. the remake may look better technically but in my opinion the visuals do not have the soul of the original. amazing game 10/10

Zelda-ish game with bad interface.
I originally played the demo of this back in 2000 and remember being blown away by the voxel graphics at the time. Even now they still are unique in their way, the landscape has a kind of plasticine moulded look to it. The plot and characters are kind of convoluted and underdeveloped. Marion feels like an afterthought. The worst thing about this game is the interface, it's clunky and difficult to get used to, you have to memorize awkward key commands and apparently they decided not to include a mouse cursor for some reason. The music is nice. The ending feels tacked on, the whole plot of this game involves dealing with wormhole or whatever that is threatening to destroy earth, but in the end you don't even discover if earth gets saved or not. But if you ignore the plot and just like running around exploring and shooting, it gets those bits mostly right. The first person view is a nice option, though the FOV is off. The game is above average though. 3.5/5.
