There are a few mini-bosses sprinkled throughout the game but no end-game person that you’ll go toe-to-toe with. Each enemy serves a purpose and they all do just what they were created to do, kill. Then, you have the tougher ones that always seem to cause the biggest problems for you like the Trandoshans that are just as strategic in combat as your team or the Super Battle Droids who charge on as if you aren’t unloading clips into them. There are easier ones like the Geonosians that fly around or Battle Droids that fill the corridors like fodder. Speaking of which, there are many different enemies to fight, and remembering each ones fighting style and patterns is something you’ll really have to pay close attention to. It’s not an easy task but by the end, I knew just how each one worked and ran them like a gambit. It’s a dance in figuring out enemies’ weaknesses and taking advantage of them. Saving your resources and taking down the weaker enemies with regular blaster ammo can be effective but even at that end, I always found myself in a tight spot when against fiercer enemies. Managing ammo and the many types of grenades is one of the most important aspects of the game.
You can also pick up enemy weapons like shotguns or miniguns to really take control of a battle. This changes it from a regular blaster to a sniper rifle or even a bazooka of sorts. Your blaster can change its ammo type with the press of a button. You can gun down your enemies with your blaster or pistol but it’s more than that. The gunplay is a mix of something in the vein of Halo mixed with a little bit of COD. The game came out when FPS games were starting to really do a lot of right things for the genre and this one is no different. The gameplay aspects of Republic Commando are a test of their time. I still had fun with the ideas and I’d like to believe that Delta Squad did carry out these missions anyway. While Delta Squad themselves are indeed still canon in the Star Wars universe, this story unfortunately is not. It’s a great thread that I didn’t expect to see pulled throughout the game as it jumps through the timeline to pivotal moments of the Clone Wars era.
Through the game’s 3 campaigns, we get to see what happens between Attack of the Clones and the moments leading up to Revenge of the Sith.
The story is set at the very beginning of the Clone Wars following the large-scale battle we all know from Attack of the Clones. Each one has their own personality and gives enough chatter throughout missions to bring us to care for each of them. We play as Boss, and over the course of the game become familiar with the other 3 members of the squad, Scorch, Fixer, and Sev. Republic Commando revolves around Delta Squad, an elite team of clone commandos that are put together in order to carry out some of the Republic’s most daring missions.
