ONLY ON XBOX: NightCaster 

When a video game youtuber leaves their house to make a video you can't help but be impressed

Those spell animations seriously bring back memories for me. I remember thinking this game was like actually magical when I was a kid.

These games are like fever dreams for me

Absolutely loved this game, it's hard but the combat mechanics are amazing ...Definitely could have been improved upon but the 2nd edition didn't do so.

That friggin' intro was top notch, as usual! It's quite scenic in your area, too. I've been going hard on the Xbox the last few months, so I love this series. It's on the list!

Quirky and fun, yay! I always am on the lookout for cool console exclusives. Thank you! Subscribed^_^

You deserve more views for the effort in this video tbh

That intro was so cool!!

Awesome stuff dude!.. Production on point always, game looks cool too

YO! not something you may know because it's internal bs stuff Jaleco and VR1 are the same people, just the company was bought up and the name was changed. This was the first game I ever QA tested when my father brought me into the office and had me play it and explain how I felt about the monster spawns. I was six, I think ?

I remember always reading xbox nation and seeing this game and the adds for it was great but i never play it. Soo i look it online and i found this great channel

Intro fire 🔥 and a fun David Carradine reference 🤣 I’m sold, tell me more Also candy in his van is how Scott got me….and oddly enough I don’t even like candy 🤷🏼‍♀️ Our friend Denis is color blind but it doesn’t really affect his ability to see colors too much because what he learned was blue is what he sees as blue so he doesn’t know differently.

Damn another game I’ve never played. Looks good, but I played Quest 64 and enjoyed it so that’s my fault lol Another banger of a review man. I see you blowing up in the new year for sure.

Still got my original disc, even did the old toothpaste trick on it many, many years ago as a young'n because fuck I loved the game. Sadly, my OG Xbox (second one, my brother took ours when he moved out and it didn't survive, ended up buying a new one a few years back) died today. Buuut, I've still got my 360 and Xbox One, so other than the first couple of words missing from every conversation, I can still play it fine.

I remember getting so frustrated with this game, good review!

Funny my cousin ‘Matt’ used to play this game and I was always interested in playing haha

I've been looking for this one. Memories

I never heard of this game 😮 but I’m interested ❤

That looks like a really difficult game! I feel like a lot of games for the Xbox were/are difficult to beat.

I just ordered this for £5 and I'm obviously watching a few videos about it to see whether I have wasted money or not. I think Peter Molyneux liberally "permanently borrowed" from this game when designing Fable 1, from the art direction and spells to the "aging" system.

Saying that this came out in 2001 makes me feel old as I played it near release.

Is this available for the series x? I remember this being one of the first games ive played after scavenging thrift stores for xbox parts in middle school

ah yes. my childhoods dark souls

sorry tldr. i may be ultra nerdy for long comment. 🤷‍♂️ wish this would come to the backwards compatible store for xbox one, s, or x. it’s a shame it’s not on the xbox one store already, and available to play. i might end up buying an original xbox and a copy, or an emulator. not even sure which ones would work for this game. my computer can’t seem to run emulators very well. 😒 the gameplay was seriously so great w the spell variety and animations for spells was fantastic. one of my all-time favs. not to mention it was a badass take on getting to be an f’ing wizard. 🧙‍♂️ some games just have a very special aesthetic. the music, look n feel of menus and things like the mushroom 🍄 quicksave rings were special to me. absolutely loved the ability to move around the staff orb w the right thumbstick while moving the character w left thumbstick. didn’t mind the gauntlet feel for enemies and their colors and spawners, but would love if they even considered or thought about a remake, potentially w a new story variant (could still do same take fixing world captured in a veil of eternal night) and like a more elaborate world, w detailed monsters and enemies. maybe even factions of them idk. the boss fights were great too, but i’m sure if they did a remake in an alternate style, they might consider bosses differently. they were pretty great though already. they should get a writers board together for sure in order to do justice to the original, and consider how to remake the game the most fun they could, if they did consider a remake, for transferring the development rights to another microsoft endorsed gaming studio. i had a lot of potential thoughts how they could take the bare bones of this game, and could remake it in a fun way. a game of potential influence that came to mind was the witcher. being a wizard that had the ability to do potions and use utility items like explosives might be cool. if an enemy got close maybe could just kick or wack the enemy, without being allowed to draw another weapon. that makes might be comical, but still fun. *also, i had never got the chance to play equinox (nightcaster two). i really liked the idea of people being able to play a female protagonist as well, but however, i had favored the prospect of keeping the angle of using a magic-wielder ‘mage integrity’ for the character, as opposed to a sellsword type. i have seen tons of artwork portraying witches in a positive light, and didn’t think it any less enthusiasm as compared to a sellsword. being restricted to a wizard or witch, almost even had comic value to me in addition to being equally badass. i’d thought it was essential to the game to keep a magic wielder without other weaponry as an essential theme. maybe wands or brooms available if a witch themed character didn’t want to carry a staff. they already had allowed players upgraded spell strengths as the game went on. maybe they could allow for item exchanges or upgrades if a remake was made as well. things that worked well from other games that i could see working well for a remake (not limited to): - cutscenes - free roam to some extent w limits. like areas to explore w boundaries. dungeons and dragons on xbox was a great example of this style. - maybe battle other witches or wizards along the way? it could be a rare thing to encounter another magic user npc. - very seldom world or dungeon puzzles. “speak friend and enter” maybe throw one or two portals in there. why not. - could have the ai allies or npc’s tell a story as well just by being part of the world experience. maybe a team of warriors was only partially successful sealing off an area. - the world felt troubled as it was plagued w the whole night thing. maybe have one or two places that felt warm as well? like a refuge of sorts. reminds me of caldwell in eso. or if they wanted a place especially ethereal could throw in some spectres. idk. - optional areas and bosses to explore or encounter - some interaction w npc’s could be a good thing. wouldn’t have to be too elaborate. vendors are great. divsin had a great use of towns people could interact w. - wouldn’t easily take influence from games that harvest resources, but maybe could discover or fight to have npc or ai have access to resource bundles, and procedurally upgrade towns or ally gear. thought about valheim and the lotr games original xbox - etc.

Who has the better wizard name: Arran or Brian?

I played this game it was fun and hard for me I was use to halo

Did you know there is also a sequel to this game? Nightcaster 2: Equinox. You should do a follow up review of that one as well of you get a chance. Cheers!

Do one of the game Sudeki!!
