How many games do you know where you can punch a dragon to death? Well, apart from Skyrim, that is. But what really sold me was the back cover: the opportunity to enter a duel with the most infamous bounty hunter of the galaxy, Boba Fett.īut let’s stop wasting time, boot this sucker and may the Force be with us. Well, if you read the manual, Kyle Katarn was originally an Imperial officer, who became disillusioned with the Empire and then became a mercenary at the service of the Rebel Alliance. Looking the first time at the front cover and with that title, I first thought that I was going to play as a Stormtrooper. Yes, an Imperial architect is more fearsome than a platoon of Stormtroopers.īut first, let’s take a look at the front and back covers of the game box: This gave the game the opportunity to introduce a lot of environmental puzzles, which are the real enemies of the game. In fact, LucasArts developed their own engine for the game in which they introduced new features to the genre, like atmospheric effects, animations, shading and most importantly, the ability to display rooms on different floors, all on top of each other. Star Wars Dark Forces is an FPS (First Person Shooter) developed and distributed by LucasArts for DOS and Macintosh in 1995 and a year later, ported to the Sony Playstation.Ĭalling Dark Forces a Doom clone isn’t fair because it doesn’t use the Doom engine.
… Well, I suppose I should tell you more about it. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! GO AND PLAY IT! In fact, you do just that right on the first level of Dark Forces (which was basically the demo). But in the old canon (before Disney bought the rights to Star Wars and decreed the Expanded Universe as non-canon) those plans were stolen by perhaps the most famous Jedi outside the movies: Kyle Katarn. It’s freaking STAR WARS after all!Īs you all know, Rogue One is the story of how the Rebel Alliance got their hands in the Death Star plans. Show of hands! Who’s here has already seen Rogue One, the new Star Wars movie? Wow, all of you? I shouldn’t be surprised.
