Related: Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance: Deet’s Vision & Original Movie Connections ExplainedĪs its name so clearly indicates, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is a tactical strategy game where players will guide a team of characters around a grid, battling enemies and avoiding environmental hazards in turn-based gameplay. Plus, the writing is really strong, so even though characters don't actually speak, it's easy to imagine them saying the lines.
Tactics does, however, do a much better job at translating the look of The Dark Crystal with its character models, menus, and game levels. The cut scenes are more like comic panels, and while they are fine illustrations, they are a stark departure from the stunning sets and puppetry of the show. Nor are they very evocative of artist Brian Froud's style, which considering how fundamental his work is to The Dark Crystal, would have been a smart choice. It also feels like a missed opportunity to not to include any of Age of Resistance's wonderful voice acting, even in a limited capacity. As a story adaptation, Tactics is good but not great, and it certainly isn't the recommended way to first experience The Dark Crystal's story. The game's narrative is largely a retelling of the second half of Age of Resistance season 1, with a few extra scenes included throughout to allow for more varied levels and enemies. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is a game that works really well as companion to the Netflix series, but as such, the world of Thra, its creatures, and what's happening will likely be confusing to those unfamiliar with The Dark Crystal.
