This endears you to them early on, as their contrasting personalities bring a surprising amount of charm amid the gloom. They saw the best of the war and the worst. Many squads didnвЂ™t survive past the rushed invasion of Geonosis, leaving Delta one of the better regarded and battle hardened. Trained from birth by Mandalorian teachers hand picked by Jango Fett, all any clone has is his squadmates and the heritage of a world he may never live to see. YouвЂ™re rarely in a position with advantage, and any allies coming to your aid are few and far between.Д¬ommandos are viewed as disposable and deniable assets. Alien species are distinct and unpredictable, demanding adaptive tactics. Droids arenвЂ™t comic relief but horrifying monstrosities that tower over you. Your visor wipes away the oil and blood of your enemies. Everyone dispenses with the pleasantries as war descends across the galaxy. Playing as Delta 38, otherwise known as вЂњBoss,вЂќ leader of Delta Squad, you lead a four-man squad into the nastiest holes in the galaxy. Republic Commando is a game of brutal efficiency. All the while, General GrievousвЂ™ looming presence foreshadowed the destruction heвЂ™d bring to Coruscant and beyond. It gave players the chance to witness firsthand the Battle of Geonosis, the brutality of Star Wars naval warfare, and the invasion of Kashyyyk from behind the helmet of a clone commando in the Grand Army of the Republic. Republic Commando heralded the dark times to come in Revenge of the Sith. From the launch of Attack of the Clones to the conclusive finale of Revenge of the Sith, the fictional war was waged across books, comics, and several games.ДЇor the first time since Shadows of the Empire, there was a concerted effort to integrate all these various stories into one cohesive narrative. Before Ahsoka leapt on screen with spunk and one-liners, the Clone Wars were some of the most intense stories in the entire canon. The Mandalorian and Dave FiloniвЂ™s The Clone Wars both owe a considerable debt to the wave of Star Wars Legends material Republic Commando was at the forefront of.

This isnвЂ™t a Star Wars story where people call each other вЂњSnipsвЂќ and вЂњSkyguyвЂќ with quaint moral lessons at the end. An elegant weapon for a more civilized age, eh? Well, guess what - times have changed. In that miserable hole, you find a fellow clone trooper with a lightsaber beside him.

You find yourself climbing into a vent, familiar territory turned hostile by Trandoshan boarding parties.
