Darklight Conflict is a space combat simulator developed by Rage Software and published by Electronic Arts in 1997 for DOS, Sega Saturn, and PlayStation. The premise casts the player as a contemporary human fighter pilot abducted mid-battle by an alien species called the Reptons, who biologically modify their captive to serve as a starfighter pilot in their ongoing war against the Ovon race. Gameplay centers on piloting one of three distinct starfighters, each carrying different strengths and weaknesses, with occasional missions requiring control of a captured enemy vessel or a gun turret aboard the Repton mothership. Mission objectives vary considerably, encompassing standard combat, mothership defense, asteroid field clearance, enemy capital ship destruction, and tractor beam retrieval tasks. Travel between mission areas occurs through hyperspace portals, where streams of yellow energy restore ship power and blue energy depletes it. The narrative concludes across four campaigns, culminating in the destruction of the Ovon homeworld before an escape back to a future Earth.
