Outcast - Second Contact is a modern, 3D remake of the cult classic Outcast, a game in which you explore the six continents of a vast, wild alien world known as Adelpha. You play the role of Cutter Slade, a young-looking elite soldier with some charisma and a lot of attitude. You'll wield weapons and ride strange creatures as you explore mountains, jungles, rivers and more... all with a strange alien touch.

Write Your Own Story

Outcast - Second Contact provides you, as the player, freedom to move around (and be overwhelmed and confronted by deadly obstacles) from the moment the game starts. There are a lot of quests in the game, sure, and you can tackle most of them from when you start, but the game's storyline isn't too impressive: you, as an Earthling, are a prophesized messiah who will save Adelpha and your home of Earth. It's a little tried-and-true, and you can't help but feel the natives could do more for themselves. Still, the game is really about Adelpha itself, about learning, discovering and fighting, rather than its main story.

Making Contact

And that's where Outcast - Second Contact shines. It improves on a game that was already considered near-revolutionary, with a souped-up combat system and content that expands upon areas of the original game that were thin. If you love fighting and exploration, genuine exploration, you'll love Outcast - Second Contact.
