Gameplay Overview
STAR WARS™ Republic Commando is a first-person shooter with a strong emphasis on tactics. You play as RC-1138, also known as "Boss," leading Delta Squad through missions that require you to think on your feet. The squad AI is robust: your teammates can handle themselves in a firefight, but they truly shine when you give them specific orders. For example, you can tell your demolitions expert to plant a charge on a door, your sniper to take out a distant enemy, and your tech specialist to slice a terminal—all while you provide covering fire.
The game is divided into three campaigns, each with multiple missions. You'll visit locations like the rain-soaked planet of Kashyyyk and the droid factories of Geonosis. Each campaign introduces new enemy types and sometimes new weapons, keeping the combat fresh. The story is told through in-game dialogue and cutscenes, and it ties directly into the events leading up to Revenge of the Sith.
If you enjoy tactical shooters with a strong narrative, you might also like Star Valor (v2.2.5 & ALL DLC), which offers space combat and exploration, or Listeria Wars for a different kind of strategy experience.
