Republic Commando puts players in the role of Clone Commando RC-1138, who goes by his squad name “Boss,” and the leader of Delta Squad along with his squadmates “Scorch,” “Fixer,” and “Sev.”
In Republic Commando, players don’t just play as any normal Clone Trooper, but a Clone Commando, one of the highest ranking soldiers of the Clone Army.įar superior than the average Clone Trooper in multiple ways, Commandos are an elite unit of Clone Troopers working in squads who specialize in advanced operations such as covert ops, assassinations and infiltration. Originally released in 2005 for Microsoft’s original Xbox and Windows PC and developed and published by LucasArts, Republic Commando was unique among other Star Wars games at the time as the game put players into the perspective of the Clone Troopers of the Galactic Republic.
One Star Wars game released that year which was obscure compared to others was Star Wars: Republic Commando, a first-person shooter which was recently re-released on PS4 and Switch on April 6 of this year and published by Aspyr, who have also helped port previous classic Star Wars games such as Jedi Knight and Episode I Racer.
Not only was 2005 the year Revenge of the Sith came out, but it was also the year many well known Star Wars games were released such as Star Wars: Battlefront II, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II and Lego Star Wars. As stated many times before, Star Wars has been known to have a history when it comes to video games.Īround 2005 however, there was a time where Star Wars media peaked.
