It's the BEST IBM shooter yet! A fast paced slugfest, with a pulse-pounding sound track, and jaw-dropping VGA animation & cinematics. In the future as a mercenary flying the super-tech Raptor, you'll be sent on interplanetary missions to knock off top competitors of MegaCorp. Battle against hordes of relentless enemies. Spend the bounty you receive from their demise to expand your devastating arsenal, which can be upgraded with 14 hard core weapons! "Raptor has some of the hottest graphics ever seen in a shareware game, and blows away most commercial games, too! The graphics will amaze you and the sound will astound you. It's a super star!" -- Interactive Entertainment Raptor sets the new standard for PC shooters. This game will do for shooters what Wolfenstein did for 3D games. Incredibly smooth VGA graphics and animation are only half the story. The heart-pounding music in Raptor will leave you breathless, especially if you have a high-end sound card like the Roland or Wave Blaster. (Raptor supports the Midi music format, which provides very high quality music for PC games.) All other major sound cards are also supported! The addictive quality and replay value of this game is unreal. Discover secrets, find the bonuses, and battle the boss ships that appear at the end of EVERY WAVE! With each ship and ground target you destroy, you'll earn more cash to increase your ship's technology for the next wave. You'll be driven to kill and destroy--but then, it's in your blood.

Hi there! Really loved that game and spent hours and hours and hours... I've been quite disapointed that mouse control did not work with this steam version and the ship moves very slow using the keyboard. However, there's a fix, I'd like to share: Within the Folder {Steaminstallationfolder}\Steam\SteamApps\common\Raptor Call of the Shadows\Raptor - Call of the Shadows\ Edit the file Setup.ini and change Control=0 to Control=1 -> Mouse works and ship moves twice as fast as with keyboard controls. Eventually feels like it did in the good ol' days! Have fun and indulge in nostalgia!
Likely among the best of the DOS-era top-down shooters bef, second only to Tyrian in my opinion. Has a fast pace, a career type mode where have to purchase upgrades. Not a absurdly long game by todays standards, but quite a solid title and a must play if you purchased the Anthology. Solid 256-color VGA graphics, digitized sounds (!), and a host of little touches make this game a joy to play and add depth. Only downside, is this has no interaction with Steam or modernization at all which is a shame because achievements would have been an awesome modern touch. It kicks me square in my childhood, speaking of which... My brother and I were so excited when we got this game back then, that we fought it out over who played first. My front tooth lost, and the parents were not all too amused. Ahh, the memories.
I was 9 years old when this game first released. Played the crap out of the shareware version on my parents' Win95/DOS box. 22 years later, I bought this as a birthday present to myself and finally own the full game. Makes me feel like a kid again! Buy this and bask in its old school glory!
what are you looking for here? honestly you are looking for a review??? this game does not even need one, it is my childhood and i am sure everyone who was born in 1990s should have played this too but here is a little review for other developers and people who are wondered what this game is: it does not have frost bite engine but it has fully destructive world it does not have super graphics but there is no graphic glitches it does not have season pass or DLC but it has 3 episodes with 9 levels each it does not have microtransactions but you can upgrade your jet with what you earn in game it does not even have a trailer, it was never announced in E3 but every true gamer knows it it does not cost $60 but back in 1990s there was a freeware version of this game (still exists) and it is like demo which gives you access to episode 1 completely final verdict: you see now? this game is
EDIT: On a widescreen monitor, you may need to change DOSbox settings (edit RAPTOR.CONF in Notepad to change "aspect=false" to "aspect=true") to fix the aspect ratio. You may also need to disable Steam Overlay then, since the pop-up will get stuck in the margin. This is a classic top-scrolling shooter from 1994, with an upgrade shop system being the main selling point. That is, your score is measured in credits which you can use to buy upgrades for your ship between levels. The graphics are pretty detailed for the time, similar to an Amiga or Atari ST game, especially the scrolling terrain. Sound effects are crunchy and satisfying, and the cheerful MIDI music is simple but effective. Keyboard, joystick, and mouse control schemes are available. The Steam version runs in DOSbox, since this is an old MS-DOS game. It was very stable on my Windows XP system. I used the mouse for this, and
OH MY GOD, My childhood just punched me in the face. It's an old scrolling shooter game, but god did i sink hours into this game.
