Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster is a remaster of the original 1995 first-person shooter, rebuilt by Nightdive Studios with its proprietary KEX engine. It adds upgraded gameplay, high-resolution textures, enhanced lighting and rendering, and support for gamepads.
Players take the role of Kyle Katarn, a defector from the Galactic Empire who became a mercenary. Katarn joins the Rebel Alliance's covert operations division and infiltrates the Empire, where he discovers the secret Dark Trooper Project. The project is developing a new series of Imperial battle droids and power-armored stormtroopers.
Combat is first-person and on the ground, with ten weapons and twenty types of enemies. Players can fight with fists, explosive landmines, thermal detonators, blasters and other ranged weapons. Power-ups include health, shields, weapons and ammunition. Environmental puzzles and mazes are part of the levels. "The Vault" is a curated collection of development material and in-game assets from the game's history.
