No, this game does not use doom engine, as some claim online, but it plays a lot like that classic PC shooter; it’s just that instead of demons and rocket launchers, you have stormtroopers and blasters. Dark forces is considered one of the best star Wars games ever made and while it may not visually hold up as well in 2023 as the other games on this list, it’s still very good star Wars an adventure that tells the now non-canonical story of Kyle Katarn—the dude who stole the Death Star plans—and all the crap that happened to him afterward.
And great, someone went and made this game easier than ever modern computer support and better controls. We haven’t yet Mandalorian game but A dark forces is a solid replacement for now.
Reminder: The star Wars the franchise is huge and there’s no way I’m going to mention everything that’s even remotely related or relevant The Mandalorian in one article. So this is not a comprehensive review of every piece of star Wars media related to criminals or bounty hunters, but rather an introduction to the duller, more dangerous side of star Wars universe.
So please if you have any other suggestions for others star Wars books, TV episodes, or other similar media that you think people should check out if they like The Mandalorianrecommend them in the comments below!
