Star Wars: Bounty Hunter

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is a third-person action game. It is a refreshed version of the game with the same title released in 2002 for PlayStation 2 and GameCube consoles. The production was handled by 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.

Plot

In the game we play as the bounty hunter Jango Fett, who we may recognize from the second episode of the movie saga. The action of the game takes place before the movie's story and is set between the first and second episode.

While carrying out minor missions involving tracking down criminals and debtors, Jango is contacted by Darth Tyranus (also known as Count Dooku). He offers a generous reward in exchange for the capture of former Jedi Master Bango Gor. The bounty hunter accepts the mission despite the fact that no other hunter has managed to accomplish it.

Gameplay

The game is divided into 18 missions, which are located on 6 different worlds, including Tatooine and Coruscant.

In order to complete individual missions, we use the hunter's physical fitness to fight hand-to-hand, run, jump and climb various platforms. We can rely on helpful weapons and gadgets from our arsenal, such as flamethrowers, double blasters and a jet backpack that allows us to take part in short-distance flights.

Each mission is also an opportunity to meet characters with whom we have the opportunity to cooperate and talk. Over a hundred characters appear in the game, including some known from the movies.

Technical aspects

The audio and the visuals in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter have not changed compared to the original from 2002. However, modern technical changes have been added, such as Steam Deck and DualSense support (we can use adaptive triggers on the controller).
