C.A.S.T. (CHERNOZEM ANOMALY STRIKE TEAM)

In an alternate 1950s Europe, you play as a member of C.A.S.T., sent into dangerous regions to carry out missions amid hostile creatures and anomalies. You can play solo or in a squad of up to four.

Each deployment combines main objectives and optional side tasks with battles against enemy hordes. Handcrafted maps include procedural elements, changing weather, and random anomalies that can alter the conditions of a mission; complete your objectives and make it to extraction.

Between missions, choose characters with distinct abilities and refine your equipment. Upgrade weapons, customize loadouts with modifiers, and use the crafting workshop to improve or make gear. Higher difficulties add further challenges and environmental effects.

Players who enjoy C.A.S.T. often highlight its co-op missions, shooting through enemy hordes, and the satisfaction of improving characters and equipment. Some also like its retro, atmospheric presentation. Reviews frequently note that missions and maps can grow repetitive, and many express concern about limited future development or content.
