Star Wars: Republic Commando Re-Release
The Vergereports Aspyr Media, the same company who recentlyremasteredStar Wars Episode I: Racerfor PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, is behind the latest Star Wars video game re-release.
If you never playedStar Wars: Republic Commando, the game had players leading a three-man squad of Republic Commandos during The Clone Wars as they went behind enemy lines across 14 levels in three campaigns, squaring off against a variety of battle droids, Geonosians, and other alien threats. Ordering your squad is a key element of the game along with the traditional first-person shooter gameplay that relies on using a variety of weapons and tactics to defeat your enemies.
It’s been a long time since I played throughRepublic Commando, but I do remember thinking the game could have been longer and maybe a bit more challenging. At the same time, I do remember having a lot of fun playing the game with friends, even though the multiplayer wasn’t as engaging as theHalofranchise at the time.
When it was released in 2005,Republic Commandoreceived solid reviews, though many through the game was a little too short and the multiplayer left something to be desired. Even so, the game has become a cult favorite amongStar Warsfans, and some even think it’s one of the best video games to come out of the franchise. It’s not yet clear if the multiplayer side of the game will be available in this remaster.
Star Wars: Republic Commandowill be available on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch starting onApril 6for $14.99.
