About
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.

[b][i]Fazit zum First-Person-Shooter[/i][/b] [h1][b]STAR WARS: DARK FORCES REMASTER[/b][/h1] Eine wirklich gelungene Neuauflage! Da hat Nightdive ganze Arbeit geleistet. Das Shooter-Gameplay fühlt sich wirklich griffig an und macht Spaß. Die Level sind natürlich unverändert old school, d. h. viel Denkarbeit („wo war noch mal die Tür, zu der die neue keycard passt…?”) und Verwirrung. Besonders schön: damals durfte ich dieses Spiel nicht zocken, höchstens bei meinen Geschwistern zugucken. Und jetzt… darf ich es nachholen — “endlich” — und an so viele Levels und Details kann ich mich erinnern. Ich bediene gerade sehr gut mein Kind-Ich! ✏️ [i]nekolexus[/i]~
Just as fun as when I was a kid
Great nostalgic remaster.
I would recommend this for the nostalgia, but blimey - this is a remaster in it's purest and easiest form so be prepared. The team did a good job but I feel like they could have done more, especially with the soundtrack.
Old, archaic, & cryptic. If it was run and gun DOOM-like fun it would be great! It's not. This is Wolfenstein3D maze-like level design. If you enjoy asking yourself "where the phrik do I go?" you'll love it. I, on the other hand, have self-respect and value my time. So, I hated it.
A lot to enjoy here. I never got to play this one back in the day. I think I would have hated it as a kid. The game is filled with puzzles. I would have liked it a bit more if there were more levels straight forward Doom style with keycards. Had to use a guide for many of the puzzles. Very easy to get lost in the levels as they are setup like a maze.
Doom-like qui avait bien besoin d'un remaster mais qui n'en demeure pas moins un jeu de son temps. Un remaster à prendre uniquement soldé cependant.
Les mecs de NightDive se sont pas trop foulé le joystick sur Dark Forces Remaster. Graphismes en mode moderne (FPS illimités, décors 3D propres, textures qui ont pris un coup de polish, cinématiques redessinées), nickel. Et pour les vieux de la vieille, une simple touche F2 et paf ! Retour direct en 1995, rendu software craspouille comme à l’époque sur 486. Et franchement ? C’est tout ce qu’il fallait. Le jeu était déjà une tuerie à sa sortie, un an après Doom et bien avant que Half-Life vienne nous expliquer ce qu’est une vraie mise en scène. Scénario béton, difficulté calibrée au millimètre, persos charismatiques comme Kyle Katarn ou Jan Ors. Seul reproche : avec mon sens de l'orientation à deux sous, j'ai trouvé ça labyrinthique comme un câble USB dans une boîte à câbles. Résultat : plus d’une heure sur la plupart des 14 niveaux. Mais peut-être que pour vous ça passera comme une lettre à la poste. En tout cas, zéro regret d’avoir insisté cette fois : j’ai adoré. Merci LucasArts et NightDive, vous avez remasterisé l’essentiel : le fun.
This is strictly a remaster of an older game - other than improving playability in general, this remains very faithful to the original. So that means that one should be aware that the design is dated, but at least I can say that I've not run into any bugs at all. Personally, I bought as an excuse to go down memory lane, and I'd played the game when it first came out - that's probably the main reason to play the game. I'd say that Hard difficulty probably offers a good challenge for those who want one, provided you know what you're getting into. All other things being equal, the game is very short and it's hard to say that it's worth it even at 50% off (I paid CA$20 for it).
This port is very faithful to the original Dark Forces while adding bonuses like a true 3D engine, better texture resolution and increased screen resolution.
