Critic Reviews for The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics can be a passable, if bland, strategy RPG with great inspirations, but lacks the polish or depth to make a strong impression of its own.
This Netflix tie-in is an awkward adaptation, but a surprisingly smart strategy game.
A competent enough clone of Final Fantasy Tactics but unlike the TV show it lacks any real sense of imagination or invention.
Too much grinding and a limited array of tactical options hold the game back
An enjoyable addendum to The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Tactics offers hours of strategic fun, though those familiar with the source material will get the most out of it.
Ultimately, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics feels like two love letters in the same package. It clearly goes out of its way to deliver the narrative of the Netflix series in a reasonably solid fashion, and utilizes some of the best parts of tactical RPG games that came before to do it. That said, it misses the mark on certain elements.
Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is a series mainly created for fans with the intention of drawing in more interested parties.
The Dark Crystal fans will certainly be happy to leap back into the world originally created by Jim Henson once again with The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics, but those just looking for a new tactical RPG to play would be better suited looking elsewhere.
