'Star Wars: Dark Forces' is 30 years old, and it remains an essential fragment of Star Wars and gaming history

Summary

Nutrition label

58% Informative

Star Wars: Dark Forces was considered a 'Doom clone' when it first came out due to its 2.5D perspective and the accompanying sprite and level design work.

Nightdive Studios resurrected the game which was readily available on PC anyway with a pretty fantastic remaster.

With an average length of around eight hours (if you don't get stuck on a puzzle or hard-to-navigate level), Dark Forces doesn't ask for too much of your time.

Newbies might find it too old and hard to digest (though it's a breezy experience), but most Star Wars fans should have plenty to chew on.

Much of the 'modern Star Wars' you know and love can be traced back to this scrawny FPS .

The fact we find ourselves circling back to Dark Forces three decades later is proof of its importance on two levels: for gaming industry and for the Star Wars universe.
