STAR WARS™ Republic Commando places you in charge of an elite Republic Commando squad amid chaos across the galaxy. Its premise casts the player as both frontline combatant and leader: infiltrate enemy territory, dominate the opposition, and direct your team toward the mission’s objective. The squad is presented as a coordinated weapon, with teammates responding to orders and working together.
The defining mechanic is an intuitive squad-control system: a button press issues commands that can set the team on complex orders and strategic maneuvers. That focus on delegated action distinguishes the game’s combat design from a purely solo approach. In single-player, you command a squad of four and can dispatch its members at will, making team direction part of the core play format rather than background flavor.
There is also a multiplayer option for up to sixteen players online across different modes, alongside listed PvP and shared or split-screen PvP categories. The game also introduces vehicles, locations, and enemies associated with Episode III.
