Description
Dark Forces is LucasArts' first attempt to enter the 1st person shooter market. Instead of licensing the Doom engine, the company created its own which has more 3D elements than
ID Software's, with the ability to look up and down, and to jump and crouch.
The game is set in the familiar Star Wars universe, and contains almost all of the Imperial stuff such as stormtroopers, officers, and droids.
There are 14 huge levels to complete in the original version. Several animated cutscenes appear between the missions to develop the story. There is no multiplayer mode.

Trivia
As far as anyone knows, the heavy android "Dark Troopers" were invented as the plot device for this game. Later, the Dark Troopers took on steam by appearing in later video games (Rebellion, Galactic Battlegrounds, etc.), and also in some comics and other media. A Dark Trooper's head/helmet is visible in a level of the expansion pack to "Jedi Knight" called "Mysteries of the Sith". It is safe to say that the Dark Troopers in later media are no where near as difficult as the ones Kyle Katarn went up against in this game.
