It’s not yet clear if the multiplayer side of the game will be available in this remaster. Even so, the game has become a cult favorite among Star Wars fans, and some even think it’s one of the best video games to come out of the franchise. When it was released in 2005, Republic Commando received solid reviews, though many through the game was a little too short and the multiplayer left something to be desired.
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 the Halo franchise at the time. It’s been a long time since I played through Republic Commando, but I do remember thinking the game could have been longer and maybe a bit more challenging. 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. If you never played Star 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.
