## About STAR WARS™ Dark Forces (Classic, 1995)

Star Wars Dark Forces is a retro first-person action game originally released by LucasArts in 1995, reissued on Steam in 2009. Players take on the role of Kyle Katarn, a Rebel Alliance operative tasked with dismantling the Empire's secret Dark Trooper project across exploration-based levels featuring fast-paced combat. The game combines a limited-lives system with resource management to create a notably hard difficulty curve. Reviewers and players describe the experience as atmospheric and immersive, with the story filling Star Wars lore gaps and the inclusion of voice acting for a DOS-era title standing out as notable hooks. The singleplayer campaign offers a medium-length runtime and runs as a playable experience on Steam Deck, holding an 89% positive rating from 1787 Steam reviews.
