Its engine, known as the Jedi engine, would also be used for a later LucasArts first-person shooter, Outlaws. Furthermore, certain aspects of its narrative, such as its protagonist, Kyle Katarn, and the concept of Dark Troopers, would become well-known parts of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. With the exception of the PlayStation version, which was largely deemed to be inferior, Dark Forces was quite well-received upon its initial release, and its success laid the groundwork for future games in the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight franchise. However, from there it branches off into a storyline that is unrelated to the films, detailing Katarn's discovery of the Empire's covert Dark Trooper Project and his subsequent efforts to prevent it from being brought to bear against the Rebel Alliance. The game is set contemporaneous to the original trilogy, and begins with Katarn stealing the plans to the first Death Star. The title cardĭark Forces introduces players to Kyle Katarn, a one-time Imperial officer who became disillusioned with the Empire and began to take on mercenary work for the Rebel Alliance. Both the PC and PlayStation versions were digitally re-released in later years. Released originally for DOS computers in February 1995, the game would also come to Mac later that year, and the PlayStation in 1996.
Star Wars: Dark Forces is a first-person shooter set in George Lucas' Star Wars universe, and developed and published by LucasArts.
