Starting April 15th you can pre-order your Star Wars The Force Unleashed on Nintendo Switch. See what each edition offers if you plan to pre-order the game and get the additional goodies available.
For the past couple of years, Nintendo has been re-releasing some of the all-time favorite Star Wars games for the Nintendo Switch. So far, we’ve got Republic Commando, Knights of the Old Republic, Episode I: Racer, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy & Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. Today (April 15th, 2022), Star Wars: The Force Unleashed joins the lineup of Star Wars games available for the Nintendo Switch!
What is Star Wars The Force Unleashed
Released in 2008, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is considered among the best action-adventure Star Wars games. It has a rich story, fun mechanics, plot twists, and one of the best protagonists in a Star Wars game.
Play as Starkiller, Darth Vader’s secret apprentice. Starkiller has been trained for one single purpose, hunt down and eliminate every remaining Jedi. Travel to Felucia, Raxus Prime, Felucia, Coruscant, Bespin and the Wookie homeworld of Kashyyyk where you’ll fight against different enemies and powerful bosses.
Darth Vader’s plan is to eventually overthrow Emperor Palpatine, but he can’t do it alone. To prove his worth, Starkiller must complete several trials across the galaxy. As you might imagine, serving Darth Vader isn’t an easy task, after all, he still serves and fears his master above anyone else. If he needs to turn on you to avoid upsetting the Palpatine, he will do it without hesitation.
The Force Unleashed gameplay is straightforward, the objective is to complete a level and defeat a boss. It might not be up to par with more recent games in terms of how you can approach the game, but it’s still very fun and the story is awesome. One of my favorite features is decision-making, you can make choices that will directly affect the outcome of the story, it’s not as complex as a regular RPG, but it’s still something enjoyable. Do you want to continue on the dark side? Or are you more inclined to the light? Even if you couldn’t pick one at the time of reading this, the game will force you to choose.
If you want to have a more interactive experience, you’ll be able to use your Nintendo Joy-Con controls to unleash different destructive powers upon your enemies!
Your friend is visiting and you can’t decide who gets the last slice of pizza? Hop into local multiplayer duel mode. Up to 27 characters are available to fight and decide who’s the strongest with the force.
