Media by GameStop.īecause it is a remaster, the graphics and gameplay on Republic Commando are not groundbreaking by any means, but it was ahead of its time enough that it still holds up well today. Squad members can be ordered through squad commands, such as “secure the area” or “search and destroy” depending on what the situation entails. The player has to utilize the squad members’ unique skills to complete objectives. Since the player acts as the leader of Delta Squad, they have tactical control over the other squad members, which allows for missions to be carried out more efficiently.

This new perspective is a breath of fresh air that also serves as a bridge between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith prior to the conception of the Clone Wars series. While the films are seen from the point of view of the Jedi, Republic Commando is told from the point of view of the troopers. The story of the game brought a whole new perspective to the Star Wars universe. From there, the Delta Squad carries out missions all around the galaxy, including the Wookiee planet, Kashyyyk and the Prosecutor, a run-down Republic spacecraft. As the Delta Squad progresses and takes on increasingly difficult missions, they begin to bond as a team and become a more efficient unit.Īfter being formed along with the other clones on Kamino, the Delta Squad is deployed into the front lines of the Battle of Geonosis at the onset of the Clone Wars. Each commando is skilled in his own special area, such as explosives, hacking, and long-range combat. This group is referred to as Delta Squad and they are genetically modified to surpass regular troopers in every aspect.

The player acts as the leader of an elite special ops squad of clone troopers, which are made up of four clone commandos. The game is set in the midst of the Clone Wars, which started at the climax of Attack of the Clones. Star Wars: Republic Commando was first released in 2005 on the original Xbox and PC.
