That being said, the parts of the Star Wars universe it explores, such as the sacrifices that soldiers have to make for the good of the mission, the horrors of war and why you are nothing without your brothers, makes this game an absolute must-try for anyone who hasn’t played it. Star Wars Republic Commando doesn’t deliver the longest FPS campaign you’ll play, and half of it does take place on an elongated Kashyyyk section. But don’t worry as there are plenty of jokes made with the exchanges of your commando squad – from Scorch talking about blowing through every problem you encounter, to Sev decapitating his enemies, to Fixer providing a neutral balance but nothing much more. But as you play through the three main missions of the campaign, each having their own set of chapters and sub-chapters, you begin to understand the importance of your brethren when facing these monumentally important missions which will guarantee the victory of the republican army over that of the droid separatists.Ĭontrolling your squad allows you to choose tactical advantages time and time again such as placing your commando to provide cover fire as one member uses a turret and another provides sniper cover – this is where you can control the combat scenario you’re facing whilst feeling like a badass clone commando as you use your grenade launcher to take down a disastrous spider-droid or group of intimidating super battle droids who, similar to the Geonosians, are no joke in this game.
You are completing top secret missions which most of the republic army don’t even know are being carried out. And I don’t mean that the game always puts you in the middle of the battlefield – far from it in fact. But one thing that I would like for you to walk away with after reading this article is that of Republic Commando’s power to make you feel like you were a commando amid a galactic war. I could go on complimenting the technical achievements that Republic Commando showed, such as the realistic graphics and squad-based combat, or how it broadens the prequel universe with dark tones of war and deception, or perhaps the realistic HUD visualized like a clone trooper helmet.
