A few years ago, if you told me that The Dark Crystal would be getting a revival on Netflix, I would?ve laughed in your face. If you?d went one step further and told me that the same franchise would be getting its own PS4 game, I would?ve suggested gettin your head examined. Yet here we are, on the precipice of the The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics? release, and I still can?t believe the extent that the brand has been able to revive itself, nearly 40 years after its initial release. Can the game manage to hold up under the scrutiny that comes with nostalgic memories, or will it crumble under the weight of the audience?s expectations"
Back to the Beginning
The recent Netflix series has opted to go the prequel route, and as such, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is taking a similar tack. Recycling characters from the original incarnation, along with a bevy of newcomers from the series, the title runs concurrently with the television narrative, without necessarily telling the same story. There are several key elements that are alluded to in the show, but are never actually shown. These breadcrumbs and side-explorations from the series form the game?s narrative backbone. It can both stand on its own, as well as further flesh out the universe.
