| - Star Wars: Legion Commando is a First Person Shooter where you play as an unnamed Legion Defiler in the service of the criminal organization known as the Steel Legion, and perform various missions of assassination, theft, sabotage, and extortion. The gameplay and feel is quite similar to that of Republic Commando, in the way that the tone and environments of the game is quite gritty. Violence in the game is very realistic and intense for a Star Wars game, with mild gore and realistic physics included. Most enemies will bleed or will emit blood when shot, and acts such as pushing an enemy into a fan or shooting them with a shrapnel gun will result in equally gory messes. Despite this overall dark feel, the game does have a wry sense of humor, and various subtle references to other media abound in the game. The story concerns the Defiler's increasing role within the Legion and the part he plays in its reign. It is set during the height of the Legion's reign, a short while before the Battle of Yavin, and chronicles the Defiler's various tasks as he gains further recognition in the eyes of the Legion upper circle. Throughout the storyline, the player visits several famous locations in the Star Wars universe, such as Naboo, Coruscant, Tatooine, and even the Death Star, and it climaxes at the fall of the Legion. Other characters, such as Tyber Zann and Darth Vader, make cameos in the story.
