Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is a colorful RPG based on the American puppet series of the same name in the dark fantasy genre. Young Gelfling rebels give their oppressors the Skeksis a hard time in fifty battles of a unique turn-based strategy. To guarantee victory, the player will have to hire allied recruits, signing contracts with them and supplying them with useful equipment. Fourteen playable characters are available (including familiar faces from the Netflix series) leading a resistance squad and intending to return the light to their native lands.For the information of the leaders of the rebellion:
- Gelfling clans need to be united: different character classes and their skills are allowed to be creatively combined, for example, a mage can be made a warrior or a scout, and in the process new specializations with a broader profile are opened.
- Based on the specifics of the mission, it is necessary to correctly select the composition of the squad, strengthening it with equipment obtained as war trophies or purchased in the store with earned pearls.
- Strikes from the flank and rear inflict the same damage to the enemy, but bonuses are given for an attack from a hill.
The world of Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is unpredictable and diverse. The range of beautifully drawn locations is impressive: from arid deserts to impassable forest thickets. Such a careful arrangement and interesting construction of missions immerses you well in the lore, compensates for some shortcomings of the tactical scheme. The latter include an insufficient range of long-range attacks. However, with the development of class skills of the character, this shortcoming is smoothed out.
