I never thought I’d see a classic RPG like Knights of the Old Republic playable on your smartphone, but here it is. Developer Aspyr has released the game in its entirety to both iOS and Android devices.
The game puts you into the shoes of a new Jedi, the last hope of the Jedi Order in a battle four thousand years prior to the Galactic Empire. You can follow the path of good or evil as you explore the galaxies, and possibly encounter murderous androids named HK-47.
Here are the game’s key features, for anyone who never experienced the original:
- An epic Star Wars™ role-playing experience with unique characters, creatures, vehicles and planets.
- Learn to use the Force with over 40 different powers, plus build your own Lightsaber.
- Adventure through iconic Star Wars locations, including Tatooine and the Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk.
- Choose your party from nine customizable characters, including Twi’leks, Droids and Wookiees.
- Travel to eight enormous worlds in your own starship, the Ebon Hawk.
- A streamlined user interface custom-made for the touch screen helps immerse you in the action.
- Full HID controller support for those gamers that prefer the original control scheme.
- For the first time, KOTOR has achievements!
You can find Knights of the Old Republic on Android and iOS for $4.99, a 50% discount from the game’s regular price. Also, it’s worth noting the install wasn’t optimized, so it’s quite large (2GB), so make sure you have the space.
