Lead the Heroic Gelfling to Restore Light to the World of Thra!

The highly anticipated Netflix series, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, comes to life as a thrilling tactical strategy game! In the Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics, fans will have an opportunity to experience the fantasy world of Thra by playing through–and going beyond–the events of the series. Players will even encounter never-seen-before playable characters, stories, and environments.

Over the course of 80 unique turn-based campaign battles taking place across the world of Thra, players will recruit new allies and customize their forces by assigning them jobs and outfitting them with new equipment.

Continue the Story in an Expanded World of Thra - Delve deeper into the legend of The Dark Crystal, learning more about the Gelfling clans and their histories across more than 5 diverse, modular territories. Choose from over 15 character jobs and play through reimagined and brand-new battles against the malicious Skeksis, and help lead the proud Gelfling to victory.

Gelfling Tactics - Devise unique ways for the outmatched Gelfling to fulfill their prophecy in multi-layered, turn-based tactical combat. Units can be customized for specific fights with gear, upgradable abilities, and a job system. Use guile, planning, and cunning to overcome superior foes!

Highly Replayable - Replay finished battles to earn full marks, or replay the entire game! Once completed players can challenge a New Game+ mode, keeping all progress from their first playthrough to re-experience more difficult versions of the battles.

Rich, Dynamic Environments - The world of Thra is a living, unpredictable environment as dangerous as it is beautiful. Dynamic events on the battlefield, which can create opportunities or put the Gelflings at a disadvantage, can necessitate rapid changes in strategy.

Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics will release on PC.

... developers Bonus XP and Krafton are making a game based on the new show. En Masse Entertainment is the publisher.


On the battlefield, you get gear, upgradeable abilities, and a job system. It has dynamic events during combat, which either give you an advantage of a disadvantage (the Skeksis do command a great deal of martial power). It also has a New Game+ mode.

This Tactics game will be based on the expanded story told in the Netflix original Dark Crystal series.

Yeah I read this already in the other thread. I was expecting that the new series will get a bit more action but enough to make a game out of it that is only focused on combat? Wow...

That's why I ask

Will this be an eShop only title?
Again... I don't know if this is part of your deadpan schtick or what... You post shitty games that are clearly shitty games and then proceed to ask if they will be shitty. Is this your meme for this particular alt or are you really this willfully obtuse?

Neither of us have played the game to write a review. What is the frequency of turn-based tactical combat game announcements?

I understand this forum to be a place to discuss RPGs and my schtick is encouraging conversation.

At least you're committed to your little act.

Trying to decide after many years of consideration... does gelfling == halfling?

Gelfling sounds to me like the combining of words "gay" and "elfling". Or "gaia" to suggest a connection with Mother Nature.
