If you haven't heard of The Dark Crystal, you either don't have Netflix or you weren't born until after 1982. Yes, those are the only two ways you have not heard about this franchise.
Today's release of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the PC/Mac via Steam, GOG, and the En Masse Launcher. This is a new action-RPG that is based off of the new Netflix series, which is based off of the 1982 film by Jim Henson and Frank Oz.
This game is developed by BonusXP in collaboration with Netflix. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics "faithfully reimagines the world of The Dark Crystal as a tactical strategy game." It's said to have enough tactical depth for genre fans while still also remaining "easy to approach" for "those newer to turn-based-tactics titles."
The game retails for just $19.99 (USD) through your storefront of choice.
Players lead a fledgling Gelfling resistance against their oppressive overlords, the Skeksis, in an expansive fantasy story set in the vibrant world of Thra. Only by assembling a team of heroes, mastering the battlefield, and uniting the clans will the Darkening brought on by the Skeksis finally be vanquished.
