Set five years after the first Knights of the Old Republic, The Sith Lords begins with the Jedi Order in ruins and the Old Republic facing a grave threat. You play a lone Jedi who must reconnect with the Force, placing the story’s central struggle in the hands of a character confronting both a fractured galaxy and a personal decision.
That decision shapes how the Jedi develops: players can follow the light side or succumb to the dark as the story progresses. The game also offers three Jedi classes, each with access to specific Jedi abilities, giving character choice a concrete role alongside the narrative’s moral direction. Choices extend beyond the protagonist, affecting party members and people who may join the quest, so the story’s consequences reach into the traveling group as well.
The game is listed as single-player, making this a campaign built around one player’s decisions rather than a shared session.
