A year after releasing Dark Forces Remaster , Night Dive Studios has released a follow-up with Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster. The game uses the same JEDI engine as Dark Forces and has more features such as geometric slopes, multiplayer and advanced INF scripts.
You can see the game trailer over here. It's fun to be a gunslinger in the wild west while listening to Clint Bajakian's epic soundtrack. Clint was also responsible for the Dark Forces soundtrack.
Time for old fashioned shootout in American Wild WestAll the textures have been increased by a factor of 2 - just like Dark Forces RemasterEnjoy the epic cinematics that came to define the gameExplore the wildlands but beware of cowboys from aboveYes there is a train level !
Come support Night Dive by purchasing the game at these popular retailers. The game sells for $29.95 - same as Dark Forces Remaster at launch.
