Good game, and okay remaster! Just not sure if it’s worth the full price without the sale. I started and stopped the original version multiple times, I think I got as far as finishing Nar Shadaa? Thanks to the remaster I was finally able to see the game through to the end. Initially I was really skeptical on the visuals, and while I don’t think the redone visuals match the charm of the original pixels… in gameplay during motion, it honestly doesn’t look bad! Though aside from the gameplay and levels… It looks cheap. The menus are basic, font choice is very generic, the 3d cutscenes when most masked by pixels are lit really weirdly, the illustrated ones have this waxy sort of painting style that I suspected was AI upscaled at first (it is not). Fortunately you can turn off a lot of those enhancements. The Menu… doesn’t look very good too and is lacking the style and charm of the original. The KEX Engine wrapper is doing its best for the remaster, but it doesn’t really give many quality of life improvements, rather than just modernises the game slightly. As for the gameplay it plays very well. Mouse aiming works like a charm and without needing the page up/down looking up and down, it feels kind of like classic Doom! The game itself, oh my goodness I did not appreciate it enough when I first played it. It NAILS that Star Wars atmosphere on such an old engine. The weapons, the sound design, and the midi’s all have that particular brand of flavor that’s so easy to get lost and immersed in. The original style and colour palette of it has aged like a fine wine, the game genuinely looks great even today. Kyle Katarn is also always a win. It does get a little dark at times, and memorisation of what the extra items keys are can get a little finicky. There’s also still no mid level saving, but the game is USUALLY easy enough with its lives system for the game to be comfortable even on Hard Difficulty. I really enjoyed Dark Forces playing it back, and it’s honestly a great game if you’re looking to play a shooter with that Star Wars vibe. The remaster is a fine way of experiencing the game. That said, $30 is very iffy of a price for a game that’s decently short and a game this old, remaster or otherwise. I’d recommend to wait for a sale, or if you can find the original version for cheaper, you could probably just try to configure the Force Engine source port to try the game out for yourself… Unfortunately the original has been delisted this year from here and GOG, and that just sucks not having the option to even play the original version with the funky mouselook, it still played alright on DOSBox.
One of my favourite Star Wars games, and one of my favourite Doom clones, Star Wars: Dark Forces is a wonderful experience for any fan of the Star Wars franchise. Play as Kyle Katarn, a mercenary for hire after defecting from the Empire, sent to steal the Death Star plans for the Rebellion, then to investigate the Dark Trooper Project that the Empire is running. Blast your way across fourteen levels ranging from Imperial facilities, starships, prisons, and even a visit to Nar Shadda in your search for information on the Dark Troopers; a battle droid and power-armoured stormtrooper project. Gameplay feels very much like Doom - as it should - running and gunning your way through levels using weapons from the Star Wars universe, like blasters and thermal detonators, taking out stormtroopers, Imperial officers, Gamorrean guards, droids, and more. Health and shield packs can be found throughout levels to keep you going, power-ups like weapon overcharge and shield boosts to give you that extra oomph. Keys are not the only thing you might need to find to progress, sometimes needing to locate a particular panel to unlock an area or platform, or even find Imperial codes in Aurebesh, the alphabet used for Galactic Basic Standard throughout the universe. Fans of Star Wars will recognize many locations, characters, items, and pieces of music from the franchise, rounding out the experience quite nicely while adding new bits and pieces to build upon what the original trilogy set forth. To me, Kyle Katarn and the Bothans will always be the reason the Rebellion ended up with the Death Star plans over Rogue One, which felt like Star Wars porn, even to a long time fan like me. While the remaster is somewhat expensive at $38.99 CDN, I absolutely recommend it if you can get it for 50% off.

So: Pros and cons of this game! First: this is essentially Star Wars Doom. One problem with that is of course that basically every enemy attack is instantaneous; way harder to dodge than demon fireballs or whatever. That said, you get shields and extra lives and checkpoints, so this doesn't make it excessively difficult. Which brings me to cons - the level design. A lot more thought went into the secrets in Doom. "Press this odd looking wall and receive goodies." Whereas the Dark Forces designers didn't even bother to differentiate half their Secrets locations. And this attitude extends to the entirety of the level design, because sometimes it's incredible, and exhilarating, and other times it's maddeningly sloppy. Also there is a puzzle that is... so poorly hinted at, in that classic '90s FPS way, that you would absolute NEED a strategy guide to solve it, and I'm so glad we now live in a time where these things are accessible and free online, because I was running backwards and forwards like "huh?" and I'd already discovered the... pretty cryptic key to solving it. Inconsistent difficulty is such an issue with some of these '90s games. Anyway. Back to pros! This absolutely reminds me of how I became a huge Star Wars nerd in the '90s. It's... pretty silly, cartoonish both in art style and plot, but every sound, every enemy, every location TO THIS DAY ignites a little flame of Star Wars fandom in me. So happy to play this again and have such a great time. Just a real joy.
