This approach is certainly a huge improvement over the normal movie tie-in games we’ve seen, and Bonus XP has done well with it. I mentioned earlier that the appeal of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics, for me, is the tactics. The developers do a fine job with that, but I feel they missed an opportunity by not taking advantage of the show’s amazing visuals and voice work. Rather, the narrative is presented solely through text and static images. To the game’s detriment, there are no cutscenes or animations to help introduce you to anyone or even to the story. On the other hand, fans of the show will enjoy it when they finally get access to a favorite character. This is where having a distinct knowledge of the source material is helpful as the names and faces will otherwise prove confusing. The series has a massive cast of characters, many of whom appear in the game as other controllable characters or NPCs.

Many of the battles are pulled directly from sequences in the series, but some are also used to fill in gaps plot points that are only discussed in the show become full levels in the game. If I tell you anything more I’ll likely reveal spoilers for those who haven’t yet watched the show (and you should). As with the series, this all serves as a prequel to the 1982 movie.

From there, Rian must convince his people of what he’s seen and build up a resistance to save their people. I will tell you that you mostly follow a Gelfling named Rian who-after level one-discovers a dark truth about the Skeksis, the planet’s supposed protectors. I’m not going to dig too deeply into the story of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics because it very closely follows the new Netflix series. You could put out a turn-based strategy game featuring characters from pretty much anything other than The Bold Type and I’d at least give it a shot. Does it work if you’re a fan of the Netflix series but not of turn-based strategy games? How about the opposite? Or both?įor clarity, although I saw the original movie back in the day and started the new Netflix series upon picking up this review, my main interest here is in the tactics genre. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is a tough game to critique because of the multiple angles from which you can approach it.
