Gaming Retrospective - Star Wars: Force Commander

Force Commander is a RTS game from the year 2000 developed by good old Lucas Arts. This was the first Star Wars game in full 3D engine where you could see the AT-AT walkers in their full 3D glory. As you can suspect the plot of the game was set between episode two and three of the original movies. Icy regions of Hoth and desert regions of Tatooine are the game's main battle grounds. Game is played from the imperial officer Brenn Tantor perspective as he moves through the ranks of the Empire and later joins the Rebellion once he realizes the Imperials killed his father.

RTS mechanics of the game were standard, build your base and force and crush your opponent no matter whose perspective you chose to play with, Rebbel Alliance or the Empire. As always the Empire has all the walker units and stormtroopers, while Rebels rely more on low numbers and more specialized units. Even though I liked Galactic Battlegrounds and later on Empire at War better, Force Commander was a decent Star Wars RTS game. As you all well know Battlefront 2 is released, and the evil EA empire is doing bad things again with the loot boxes paying model, it is the best time to remember good old games while that gets fixed.
