But Why Tho?

Feb 4, 2020

I enjoyed my time with Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics. It provided lots of variety, both in map design as well as gameplay options, while providing a, mostly, fair challenge. It keeps mostly to the plot of the series, though there are embellishments along the way. If you are looking for a different approach to the turn-based strategy RPG genre this could be just what you are looking for. Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC on February 2. Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics - 8/10 TL;DR Despite these hurdles, I enjoyed my time with Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics.

Its beginning hours may not be exciting but once things start to open up, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics becomes a fantastic SRPG that allows for a great deal of party customization and offers plenty of varied battle scenarios.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics ends up doing just enough for fans of both The Dark Crystal and fans of tactical RPGs. It has enough features that allow it to stand out when compared to other titles available. Sadly, the pacing of the story and battles are relatively fast, which means that you’ll continually feel rewarded, but you won’t have an attachment to the characters. While I wasn’t a fan of the menu system, I did find an appreciation for the unique character customization options across each class.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance nails the charm of the Gelflings and the world of the Dark Crystal, but fails to do anything even remotely new in the Tactics genre. Nevertheless, it’s a simple game that for a small price could be worth picking up for a quick blast of uncomplicated strategy when the strategy craving hits.

It’s not going to rock anyone’s world, but for a cheap TV tie-in it’s a lot more engaging than it has any right to be, serving as a pleasant opportunity for any series fan to spend a few more hours in Gelfling company.
