The Electric Playground
- "If you go into Nightcaster knowing it's a fantasy-themed action combat game and not an RPG by any stretch of the imagination, you'll be rewarded with a solid, gorgeous and low-maintenance experience."

IGN

GameZone
- "The controls are amazingly easy to get used to. It might become a bit repetitive or bland to some who aren't big fans of fast-paced action alone though, so go into this one with an open mind." Reviewed by The Badger.

GamePro
- "It is an update of 'Robotron' with a fantasy backstory. If you're looking for a new kind of shooter, NightCaster will do--but RPG fans, you're still in the dark."

- "If you are looking for a fun fantasy action game with an adventure twist, go out and grab Nightcaster. Be wary though, if you tire of the gameplay, there isn't a deep storyline to back it up." Review by Pete Calderwood with screen shots.
