Dark Forces emerges from Nightdive's bacta tank refreshed and ready for action, combining classic FPS mayhem with thrilling espionage-themed missions.
The result is a game that looks sharp and fresh, but crucially, not new. Emerging from the introductory vent into Secret Base felt like playing a whole new version of Dark Forces, and more like falling through a wormhole back to my first PC in 1997. The rumbling MIDI soundtrack, the modulated"Hey, who goes there?" from Stormtroopers, the way officers' hats fly off as you blast them to the ground - it all felt indistinguishable from my first encounter with LucasArts' shooter.
There's less mystery to the story than I remember – you know roughly what the Dark Trooper is by the end of mission two. Instead, the story is all about giving each mission a clear and exciting shape, much like LucasArts did with X-Wing and particularly TIE Fighter in previous years. After stealing the Death Star plans, Kyle is sent to Talay Tak Base to investigate the site of a recent Imperial attack.
Hot off the back of Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, a game with its own idiosyncratic save system, I wasn't especially up for this. But the lives system proves to be both liberating and unobtrusive. Three lives are more than sufficient to navigate most levels on medium difficulty, and the promise of extra lives makes secret hunting that much more rewarding.That said, Dark Forces does have a few flaws. The game isn't especially strong when it comes to ending levels.
