Now, this is not your Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat type fighter. Be careful or you may spend too much time looking and not enough time moving forward. Time Commando has some fairly large worlds with numerous hidden treasures along the way. Enemies are constantly challenging you, trying to stop you from making it to the next time period. You are always in a race against the clock. Each time frame contains weapons only available at that point in history.Īt the beginning of this section, I said that this game was difficult to put in one category. You must acquire weapons by either searching or defeating an enemy with a weapon.

You begin each level with only your bare hands to defend yourself. The remaining time periods are the Japanese, Medieval, Conquistador, Western, Modern Wars, Future and ending with the virus itself. The game gets difficult quickly in this era. The weapons include a dagger, double-edged sword, sling, trident and shield and an ax. There are a number of enemies ranging from a very mean pharaoh to a whole army of Roman soldiers. The next era takes you to the Roman Empire. This world is fairly easy, giving you a chance to adjust to the controls and get comfortable with the game. These weapons include a small club, knife, rock, spear, large club and your bare hands. Now, the best part of all of this? You must battle these enemies only with the weapons available for this time period. In this era, you battle cavemen, apes and tigers. The first time period you must complete is the prehistoric era. You have been sent back in time to recover the chips and save the supercomputer. These memory chips are randomly placed throughout different time periods. The object of Time commando is to gather uninfected memory chips to stop a computer virus from destroying the memory of your supercomputer. There is a little bit of everything wrapped up in this one.

And while it is fun to play as a Jedi, it’s equally fun to step into other roles within the vast Star Wars galaxy. Spanning multiple game genres, there is usually a Star Wars game to suit everyone's taste. Star Wars has a rich lore that is often used to great effect within its games. Republic Commando is a very clever FPS and showed that Star Wars could use that genre without needing a Jedi hero. Developers used real soldiers as inspiration for Republic Commando’s clones in a move that continued to echo into other Star Wars media, such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: The Bad Batch animated series. What makes Republic Commando stand out is how the clones are portrayed, as each member of Delta Squad is given a unique personality which changed how clones were seen in Star Wars forever. Joined by squad mates Scorch, Sev, and Fixer, players complete several missions during the Clone Wars. Players instead control Boss, the team leader of an elite clone trooper unit, in a straightforward first-person shooter.

Star Wars: Republic Commando is hands down one of the best Star Wars games, and there isn’t a Jedi in sight.
