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.

Key Features:

  • All fourteen original levels, featuring Star Wars™ worlds and capital ships
  • Use your ability to jump, duck, and crawl to solve puzzles and defeat enemies
  • Your Personal Digital Assistant provides you with in game information such including map, inventory, and mission briefing
  • Engaging first-person ground combat featuring ten weapons and twenty types of enemies
  • Up to 4K 120FPS visuals
  • Advanced 3D rendering enables updated lighting and atmospheric effects
  • Modern gamepad support adds a new weapon wheel, and rumble
  • Controller Support - vibration and gyro controls
  • A variety of power-ups are made available to the player, including health, shields, weapons and ammunition
  • For combat, the player may use fists, explosive landmines and thermal detonators, as well as blasters and other ranged weapons
  • Includes immersive environmental puzzles and mazes

A great remaster of a beloved, if now very old school, FPS that is handled with great care and attention.

In addition to proving that many of the timeless qualities of the original have endured, Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster also shows once again just how much love and effort Nightdive Studios puts into the remasters that it works on.

Great remaster of a superb game

I was a big fan of Dark Forces in the 90's, and its ground breaking sequel. I was so happy when I heard about this remaster, but I did have some reservations, as I thought it would be brought completely up to date visually (e.g. look similar to modern games). However, after playing the game, I think Nightdive have struck a perfect balance between modern graphical techniques and the original feel and art direction of the original game. Hassle free high framerates and controller support were much appreciated by me. I've seen some people complaining of some micro stutter, which i believe is easily fixed through console, but I didn't see it as I have a 144hz monitor. Keyboard shortcuts and little quality of life improvements on the map and PDA were a great idea. Honestly, top marks to Nightdive studios for this superb remaster, and top marks to gog.com for having this game from day 1 release! Hoping for a remaster of Dark Forces 2 Jedi Knight and MOTS now! 🙏 😁

Good Remaster of a Classic Game

Really like the option to keep the cutscenes unaltered while keeping the gameplay changed. Just wish there were more achievements, or at least one for finding every secret in the game. Hope Jedi Knight gets a remaster, next.

Solid and works great on my MSI Claw!

I have been playing with TheForceEngine. It's ok, but this one paid is just better. First, there is out of the box controller support. Works great on MSI Claw. Second, all graphics (hud, sprites) are consistent high res and quality. Menus are great, options are well thought. The only thing missing is better MIDI support, like AWE or Roland SC-55.

Price

Hmm... I was expecting around $20 for this one. $30 is too much. Great game though, even the old version of it on The Force Engine. I think I will wait for a sale on this one though. Love the game, own the original, have Force Engine, but need it to say $19.99 first.

An Excellent Remaster

Played: Version 1.0.4 (11 days old - only version available at the time of writing) PC used: R5 5600x / RTX 3060 (12gb) / Win 10 Pro 10.0.19045 I played the original DF on PS1 back then and it was a joy to see it again with a fresh coat of paint, controller support, lots of settings to tweak the audio and visuals (even the crosshair shape and color), achievements (which helped me discover something I missed all those years ago), bonus material like concept art and even the 1995 CES demo! No crashes, only one or two textures had a weird flicker but regardless very well done and I loved how I could swap between the remastered and softrware render graphics on the fly. 9.5/10
