The WhatsNext verdict
KOTOR remains essential for players who want a character-driven Star Wars RPG with unforgettable companions, meaningful roleplay, and a legendary story reveal. Play it for the journey and the people, not for modern combat feel.
What it does best
A reveal that permanently changes how you see the journey
Companions who make the galaxy feel personal
The Star Wars fantasy becomes your own story
What might put you off
Opaque, dated real-time-with-pause combat
A linear adventure dressed as a broad galaxy
The setup
What you are walking into
Choose Your Path! Set 4,000 years before the Galactic Empire, you are the last hope for the Jedi Order and the Republic - can you master the ways of the Force to become their savior? Or will you fall to the dark side and achieve ultimate power? Hero, villain, peacekeeper, or chaos-bringer... you and your party will determine the fate of the galaxy! Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a role-playing video game. Players will be able to create their own characters and be able to choose what gender, appearance, class, skills, attributes, and feats they have throughout the game - no two characters will be the same!
