History
There is good news for those who come to this game because of their love of television series. The plot closely follows the events of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. This is a solid choice as the TV adaptation is fascinating, mystical and imaginative at the same time. Some of these translate into the game’s story.
For much of the narrative, you follow the story of a Gelfling named Rian. He attempts to organize a resistance to save the rest of his species from the evil Skeksis. In general, however, the plot is not the main focus and takes more of a back seat. This is mainly due to the lack of proper story missions or cutscenes.
One of the main problems with the story is that it is incredibly difficult to follow. Anyone who is not an avid fan of the source material will struggle to make sense of the events. Even those who have seen the film and the TV series may not be able to follow everything. As such, you don’t really have a lot of motivation to get involved in the narrative. This also has consequences for the gameplay. Without understanding the reasons why you are going from battle to battle, things soon start to seem meaningless.
