Star Wars: Dark Forces is a first-person shooter video game developed and published by LucasArts. It was released in 1995 for MS-DOS and Macintosh, and in 1996 for PlayStation. The story is set in the Star Wars Expanded Universe and begins shortly before the original film, then jumps forward one year after the events of the movie. The protagonist and playable character is Kyle Katarn, a mercenary working for the Rebel Alliance who discovers the Galactic Empire's secret Dark Trooper project, which involves the development of a series of powerful new battle droids and armored stormtroopers. Dark Forces uses the Jedi game engine, developed specifically for the game. This engine added gameplay features uncommon in the first-person shooter genre at the time of its release, including multi-level level designs and the ability to look up and down. Upon release, the PC and Macintosh versions received generally favorable reviews, praising their level design and technological advancements, although the PlayStation version was criticized for its poor graphics and low frame rate. The game was also a major commercial success, selling nearly one million copies in the United States by 1999. Its success spurred the Star Wars: Jedi Knight series, beginning with the direct sequel Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II in 1997.
