About Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) is the 2003 RPG that many fans still call the greatest Star Wars game ever made. Set 4,000 years before the films, it drops you into a galaxy at war between the Republic and the Sith, and you build your character, your party, and your destiny across the story. The game uses a turn-based RPG system under the hood, with dice-based combat that gives it a tabletop feel, and your choices on the light or dark side genuinely shape the story and your character's powers. The story's twist is legendary — widely considered one of the best reveals in gaming — and the party members, from the Wookiee Zaalbar to the assassin HK-47, are unforgettable. It was developed by BioWare at the height of its powers and spawned a sequel plus an online successor. A remake has been announced for modern platforms.
