Mara's training will continue in the field as she makes use of four new weapons and five new Force™ powers to secure supplies for the New Republic. First introduced in Timothy Zahn's award-winning Star Wars™ novel, Heir to the Empire, Mara Jade combines her experiences as a smuggler and Emperor's Hand with her apprenticeship as a Jedi Knight. Invading Imperial forces advance upon a quiet Rebel outpost, interrupting Kyle's trianing of a brave new Jedi, Mara Jade. Kyle Katarn's adventures continue five years after the events in Dark Forces II. As Katarn embarks on his journey to defeat the Dark Jedi he must also shape his destiny, by choosing to follow either the light side, or the dark side. In order to protect the galaxy Katarn must confront his father's murderers, led by the Dark Jedi Jerec, and stop them from obtaining the mysterious powers of a "Valley of the Jedi", a focal point for Jedi power and a Jedi burial ground. Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II continues the story of Kyle Katarn, a young mercenary that successfully infiltrated the Empire, as he embarks on a quest to discover his past and learn the ways of the Jedi. Whatever path Kyle Katarn chooses will change the face of the galaxy forever. Even as someone who's not played much of the original Dark Forces 2, the video showcasing the remake's version of its first level-Double-Cross on Nar Shaddaa(opens in new tab)-is tickling memory centres of my brain that haven't activated since I was six years old.Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II includes Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and Star Wars™ Jedi Knight - Mysteries of the Sith. Oh, and a 3D model viewer, in case you want to sit and marvel at the poly count for a while. On top of that, there's four wave-based survival levels(opens in new tab), and a sandbox mode. The fan remake comes from a developer named Ruppertle, who mostly tinkers with Arma mods when they aren't remaking '90s PC classics from scratch, and you can currently play through two levels from the original game in it. Thankfully, someone's decided to remake the whole thing in Unreal Engine 4. But there's no getting around it, Dark Forces 2 is an ugly game by today's standards, which you'll only notice if you actually manage to get the thing running on modern machines. It's so good, in fact, that we were still singing its praises(opens in new tab) as recently as 2020, praising its lightsaber-swinging and movement.
It might be 26 years old, but Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 is still a banger.
