Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) is a role-playing game (RPG) set in the Star Wars universe, originally developed by BioWare and published by LucasArts for Xbox and Windows in 2003, and macOS in 2004. It was later developed by Aspyr Media and released for iOS in 2013, Android in 2014 and Nintendo Switch in 2021.
The game uses a d20 system, similar to Dungeons & Dragons tabletop games: combat is divided into rounds, with the player and party normally taking single actions each round before enemies do likewise. This system is turn-based but can be played in real-time, or paused at the player's discretion.
Story[edit | edit source]
The game takes place four thousand years before the rise of the Galactic Empire at the end of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. The Republic verges on collapse as Darth Malak, the last surviving apprentice of the Dark Lord Revan, unleashed an invincible Sith armada upon them: this war of conquest leaves the Jedi Order scattered and vulnerable, with countless Knights either falling in battle or swearing allegiance to the new Sith Master.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
The player is a custom or quick character whose choice of sex, class(es), attributes, skills, feats and later Force powers can have a significant impact on gameplay; also significant can be choices made for characters joining your party, any two of which can normally be added at any time, and whose strengths and weaknesses can compliment or compound your own.
Dialog and subsequent action can move you closer to the dark or light side of the Force throughout the game, although the choice between stopping Malak or replacing him as Lord of the Sith isn't final until just before the Star Forge, at the end of the game.
