About this game
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords follows an exiled Jedi attempting to reconnect with the Force. Choose a Jedi class, customize character skills and abilities, and lead companions with their own histories and alignments. Your decisions can affect both the developing story and the people travelling with you. Combat uses a real-time turn-based system in which character actions can be placed in a queue. Fighting and completing quests award experience, allowing characters to gain levels and develop their capabilities. Progress therefore involves both deciding how to build the crew and choosing what they do in encounters, alongside the story decisions that influence their journey.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
For players who want character development and consequential crew choices alongside command-based combat.
Different companion loyalties can make decisions feel personal to players who follow the crew's stories. Queued actions and character customization should appeal most if you enjoy shaping a party's capabilities as well as directing its encounters.
Strengths
- Choices affecting the squad can connect role-playing decisions with an interest in individual companions.
- Classes, skills and queued actions offer several points at which to shape a character's contribution.
Who it is for: Players interested in party development, command-based encounters and story choices involving companions.
Play notes: Using cheats can cause save-file issues; Aspyr recommends creating a separate save before activating them.
