This was years before Mass Effect and Dragon Age established their more modern, action-orientated style and KOTOR’s combat is still based on Dungeons & Dragons d20 rules. Originally, Knights Of The Old Republic (KOTOR to its friends) was an Xbox One console exclusive, the first major console project for BioWare – who up to that point were primarily known for their PC work on classic franchises such as Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights. Which makes this Nintendo Switch remaster a useful opportunity to look back at the original game and its legacy. Technically the game is now non-canon, but that’s set to change when the recently announced remake is released for PlayStation 5 and PC. The setting debuted in an obscure comic book series, but the original 2003 game was the first time it gained mainstream exposure and there’s been talk of turning it into a movie ever since. That’s nothing to compared to Knights Of The Old Republic though, which is set four thousand years before the events of the movies and so doesn’t feature a single cameo from any previously established character. In that respect video games have done surprisingly well, with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order creating its own relatively unique corner of the universe.
