Of course, if you're not interested on them, there are many alternatives out there. But raster effects were a key technique in 2D graphics, used to create all sorts of impressive visual effects and overcome limitations. Arcade boards, home consoles and the Amiga computer did extensive use of them. Tilengine allows you to use these same techniques. It's only a feature, but a big one... Its suitability for your project depends on the type of graphics you want to have.
Yes, this is why I am so drawn to using Tilengine(the shooter example is gorgeous and very inspirational)! I very much want to use this engine for my game, I just wish the documentation was easier to understand/more complete as it is very confusing as is for a beginner like myself.
