About this game
Star Wars: Republic Commando places you inside Boss's helmet as the leader of Delta Squad during the Clone Wars. You wield your own weapons while issuing orders to teammates, including commands to attack targets or heal one another. Enemies include Trandoshan mercenaries and Geonosian warriors, and progressing through missions involves both shooting and directing the squad. The campaign gives Delta Squad's commandos distinct voices and personalities, tying its soldier's-eye viewpoint to a particular group of characters. On Nintendo Switch, this is a single-player campaign: the squad follows your commands, and multiplayer is not included. The central activity is coordinating those teammates while taking part in the firefight yourself.
Collected in series
Star Wars games offer many ways to step into a galaxy of rebellion, strange worlds and the Force. Across this broad franchise, different adventures put you behind a blaster, ask you to shape a character’s loyalties or let you learn the rhythm of lightsaber combat.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A good conceptual match for players who want their shooting decisions to include directing a squad.
Target and healing orders could give players a reason to think about the whole squad while handling their own weapon. The helmet viewpoint and individually voiced commandos may particularly appeal to those interested in the clone soldiers' perspective.
Strengths
- Attack and healing commands can make squad coordination a meaningful part of a firefight.
- Distinct squad voices and personalities may give military missions a more personal point of reference.
Who it is for: Players interested in a single-player Star Wars campaign built around a clone commando and the teammates he directs.
Play notes: The Nintendo Switch edition contains the single-player campaign and does not include multiplayer.
