STAR WARS Dark Forces Remaster

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster brings Nightdive Studios' KEX engine to bear on the 1995 FPS that raised the bar for the genre, running it at up to 4K resolution and 120FPS on modern hardware. Players take the role of Kyle Katarn, an Imperial defector turned mercenary working for the Rebel Alliance's covert operations division, uncovering the secret Dark Trooper Project (the Empire's powerful new line of battle droids and power-armored stormtroopers).

All 14 original levels return with Star Wars worlds, capital ships, environmental puzzles, and mazes intact. Jumping, ducking, and crawling solve traversal problems and unlock combat angles. A Personal Digital Assistant supplies map, inventory, and mission briefing in-game. Ten weapons including fists, explosive landmines, thermal detonators, and blasters face off against twenty enemy types.

The remaster adds high-resolution textures, advanced 3D rendering with updated lighting and atmospheric effects, modern gamepad support including a new weapon wheel, rumble, and gyro aiming. A toggle lets you switch back to the classic visual presentation at any time.
