Critic Reviews
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics Review – Sluggishly Substandard
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is, at its very best, a mediocre game with some decent ideas - these primarily being the character customisation/job system and a few different types of battles thanks to map changes or interesting bosses that require tactical planning. However, any positives are bogged down by the silly decisions like requiring multiple clicks for every single action, even the basics, ignoring decades of turn-based tactics innovation and progression. Add onto this a barely-scraped story and an average, often lifeless, presentation and you have a game that can play well, but mostly plays slow.

Take a trip down season one again in tactics form.
70%The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics Review
Strong combat dragged down by grind-heavy design, messy menus, and missing quality of life features.
