I was hoping we would see something relating to it in the bad batch, as it has Scorch, but they seem to mostly be using him as a background character.

Is this worth playing today?

Yes it is, use the mods on this Wiki and it will run on current hardware https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Republic_Commando

Thank you (and thanks to everyone else who replied). I’m going to give this a shot.

Personally, I'd say yes, it hasn't aged well on PC (your cursor will move at Mach 2 in menus even on the lowest possible sensitivity for example) and the graphics could certainly use an update, but the squad combat & banter still feels great. The game also does a great job of feeling like it fits into the universe, it came out about 3 months before Revenge of the Sith, and includes tons of references and hints to its plot that feel like something an actual in universe clone would see.

I will warn you however, if you end up playing it, the game is very hard at points, and the AI can be pretty stupid at times.

One of my favourites from my childhood, but I haven’t played it in a while so I’m not sure if it’s nostalgia talking.

From my childhood they say. God I’m old.
