Star Wars: Dark Forces (1995 Video Game)
8/10
One of the best Doom clones of the 1990s
25 May 2018
When this game was coming out, I was so excited. I was looking forward to playing a 3D game set in the Star Wars universe. After playing Doom, this turned out to be even better. You can jump, you can crouch, you can look up and down, and you have ten different weapons instead of seven. Also unlike Doom this is more of a thinking-man's shooter. You don't just shoot enemies throughout levels, you solve puzzles like flipping switches and finding codes to unlock certain doors. OK, that's still like Doom but like I said, it's better than that aforementioned game. Plus, we get the saga of a former Imperial who is looking to do work as a mercenary with the Rebel Alliance. My only beef with the game is that there is no in-game save feature. It only has a between-missions checkpoint and nothing more. Hey, it's better than nothing, right? Plus, the music is good. And the enemies are numerous and there's more than just Imperials. Give them all you've got!
