Star Wars: Bounty Hunter

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is a third-person action game, which is a refreshed version, with a view to ?eighth and ninth generation consoles, of the game of the same title released in 2002 for PlayStation 2 and GameCube. Responsible for the production is the Aspyr studio responsible for other modernized games from the Star Wars universe, such as Star Wars : Battlefront Classic Collection and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

Storyline

In the title, we play the role of bounty hunter Jango Fett, whom we may associate with the second episode of the film saga. The action of the game itself takes place before the film story and is set between the first and second parts.

While performing small jobs involving tracking down criminals and debtors, Jango is contacted by Darth Tyranus (also known as Count Dooku). He offers a lavish reward in exchange for the capture of the former master of the Jedi Order, Bango Gor. The hunter accepts the mission despite the fact that no other hunter has ever succeeded.

Gameplay

The gameplay is divided into 18 missions, which are spread over 6 different worlds, including Tatooine or Coruscant.

In order to complete each mission, we use the hunter's physical prowess to melee, run, jump or climb various edges and platforms. In addition, the gadgets in our arsenal, such as flamethrowers, submarine blasters and a jet pack, which allows you to perform short-distance flights, are also helpful.

Each mission is also an opportunity to meet characters with whom we have the opportunity to interact and talk. Over a hundred of them have been placed throughout the game, including some known from the film stories.

Technical issues

The audiovisual sphere in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter has not changed from the title released in 2002. However, modern technical solutions have been added, such as Steam Deck support and the DualSense controller, in the form of adaptive triggers.
