DARK FORCES 1 Story Recap | Kyle Katarn Origins | STAR WARS EXPLAINED
STAR WARS EXPLAINED Dark Forces 1 Plot Kyle Katarn FIRST APPEARANCE
Star Wars: Dark Forces is a first-person shooter video game developed and published by LucasArts. It was released in 1995 for MS-DOS and Macintosh, and in 1996 for the PlayStation. The story is set in the fictional Star Wars expanded universe and begins shortly before the original Star Wars film, before flashing forward to a year after the film's events. The game's protagonist and playable character is Kyle Katarn, a mercenary working on behalf of the Rebel Alliance who discovers the Galactic Empire's secret Dark Trooper Project, which involves the development of a series of powerful new battle droids and power-armored stormtroopers.
Dark Forces uses the Jedi game engine, which was developed specifically for the game. The engine adds gameplay features that were uncommon to the first-person shooter genre at the time of release, including level designs with multiple floors, and the ability to look up and down. Because of the two games' similarities, Dark Forces has often been called a Doom clone, though the latter lacked several technical features that Dark Forces introduced.
Upon release, the PC version of the game received largely favorable reviews from critics, who praised its level design and technological advances; the other versions received mixed reviews, with the PlayStation version in particular being criticized for its graphics and slow frame rates. It also did well financially, selling almost 1 million copies in the United States by 1999. The game's success launched the Star Wars: Jedi Knight series, beginning with the direct sequel Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II in 1997.

as much as I enjoy those 50 minute retrospectives, this was perfect. getting into outcast again after years and need a quick recap without hearing about motifs and themes and such, not that there's anything wrong with that, sometimes concise is preferred, is all, and you nailed that. cheers!

[@Lead1121]

Thank you for this!

[@jeffreynagy7112]

Thank you for this. I was playing the original dark forces, but cannot take it, I have a hard time playing the original doom or doom clones. The game is good. But needs a remake.

[@Brentonius_III]

you won't believe this

[@tompadinho]

Nice recap, thanks!

[@LordJureth]

Thanks for this 🙂

[@Zytri92]

Very cool and useful synopsis. Any inclination to do the rest of the series for Dark Forces and Jedi Knight?

[@invertedbubble]

Thanks for making this! It’s cool how Darth Vader foreshadows the next game by saying that Kyle is strong in the force.

[@fearlesstp]

Great recap! thank you :)

[@makereadypt]

Thank you so much for summarizing Dark Forces! I just got Jedi Outcast so I wanted a Kyle recap!

[@geggy310]

Thank you for this. The first game gives me a headache to play for some reason. I had to skip to the sequel so hopefully there were no references to df1 in it.

[@ATAT1]

I guess I shouldn't have skipped all those cut scenes and info texts. No idea what I was doing when I was a teenager lol.

[@vgamesexplained]

Same case here ;)

[@jonastorres7196]

Is this the game that had the live action cutscenes?

[@caleb2670]

So rogue one overwrote this whole plot right?
