Description

Star Wars™: Dark Forces Remaster has been brought to life by the team at Nightdive Studios, fully remastered through its proprietary KEX engine, allowing the game to run on modern gaming devices at up to 4K resolution at 120FPS. New and returning players will enjoy Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster’s upgraded gameplay, high-resolution textures, enhanced lighting and rendering, and support for gamepads.

The original 1995 Star Wars: Dark Forces raised the bar for FPS games, offering players a significant degree of movement and interactivity, a large selection of items and power-ups, and engaging environments.

In the first Star Wars FPS video game, players assume the role of Kyle Katarn, a defector of the Galactic Empire turned mercenary for hire. Katarn joins the Rebel Alliance’s covert operations division tasked with infiltrating the Galactic Empire, where he discovers the secret Dark Trooper Project. The development of this powerful new series of Imperial battle droids and power-armored stormtroopers stands to strengthen the Empire’s grip on the galaxy unless Katarn and the Rebel Alliance intervene.

Love the original. Unfortunately this game is optimized like complete ♥♥♥♥. I have a 4070 super and the game takes up 50% gpu usage and cannot maintain a consistent frame rate, Makes the game unplayable.

This is an awesome Boomer Shooter to play set in the awesome Star Wars expanded universe. The game runs great, looks great and has been a blast to play apart from 1 part of 1 level. Jabba's Ship, the one level I have up

What starts out as a pretty fun classic DOOM clone quickly becomes derivative, boring mazes with the same enemy types peppered throughout and a cumbersome design philosophy even for its time. This game is so

If you like Star Wars and shooting stuff, this game does it. No need of any nostalgia to enjoy it. Instant action straight to the point. A great example of why sometimes retro gaming has a little something over modern

overall its pretty good, but the fact that they took the original one off steam pisses me off, that's greedy as hell, cause this one is almost 40 CAD. good but bring the original one back on steam.

28,99€ Price tag for a remaster of a 30 year old game is a bit ridiculous. Has some of the most boring and mundane levels i have ever seen in a boomer shooter lacking visual clarity and pacing. The fact that the game
