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.

I sometimes forget my kids at school but I somehow remembered the Aurebesh door code on Mission 1 from 30 years ago. If you played this game as much as I did back then, this remaster will hit the spot.

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster is a great example of how to bring a classic into the modern era without losing what made it special. Nightdive kept the soul of the original intact, from what I can tell from old

In general, this is an exquisite remaster of a 30-year old classic. Loaded with razor-sharp controls, QoL updates, crisp graphics switchable on-the-fly to original legofest and dynamic music faithful to the original

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster is an excellent remaster that adds great new visuals and better feeling controls and more or less keeps everything as you remembered it -- for better or worse. Personally, I've tried

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
