The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Chathiro]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Dark Forces RPG is a tremendously fun and addictive MUD. It has
wonderfully unique and well written areas, all with a very Star Wars
feel to them. Ten different classes, 16 races, as well as 13 various
personality traits are there to help you create as unique a character
as possible. There are over 300 powers and skills evenly balanced over
the classes and many of the more difficult areas depend on grouping
with different class players to explore them.
Some of the powers include: clairvoyance, chain lightning, force
pull, morph and persuade. While some of the skills include: ambush,
faith, lightsaber mastery, condemn and paralyze. Dark Forces has all
the force classes including Jedi, Dark Jedi, and Shadow Jedi while
also delving deeper into the Star Wars universe to come up with the
Jensaarai. It has a simple yet complete combat system which many of
the players have commented appreciatively on, as well as a number of
advanced features like an extensive faction creation system, player
shops, the ability to learn additional powers from books and much much
more.
Dark Forces has a small, but well developed, playerbase and many
committed and helpful staff members who are incredibly dedicated to
the game. New worlds and areas are constantly being added and all the
changes in the game follow player input closely.
If you like Star Wars,look no further than this mud.
