There's very little choice in how to tackle a problem on Geonosis-usually the solution is just given to you as you're funneled into a plan instead of making your own. The Illusion Of CommandД®arly on, there isn't much agency in how you can command your squad, which, along with the game's linear nature, can feel disappointingly restrictive. Holographic outlines of where a squadmate can do something will appear on your HUD, allowing you to know what options you have in each area and easily assign squadmates to where you want them to go. Having elements of a tactical shooter, Republic Commando offers you options in how to lead your squad through combat gauntlets-these range from general orders such as 'defend a spot' or 'search and destroy,' to more specific commands like telling Sev to use his sniper rifle from behind a certain piece of cover or tasking Scorch with setting a demolition charge on an obstacle in front of you. That's a good thing, because that desire to keep your squad alive will help motivate you to make good decisions. As you're in command, the others look up to you as a big brother figure, and this familial bond creates a tendency to act protectively towards your squadmates. This helps to build a rapport with your AI-teammates-Scorch and Sev's brotherly rivalry with one another is still amusing years later, as are Fixer's repeated but useless reprimands for the two of them to act more like adults.

Most of the game sees all four working together, providing numerous opportunities for conversations between the squad. The different actors for Boss (Temuera Morrison), Scorch (Raphael Sbarge), Fixer (Andrew Chaikin), and Sev (Jonathan David Cook) do most of the legwork in differentiating each member of the squad from one another. Your unit, Delta Squad, is also composed of sarcastic demolitions expert RC-1262 aka 'Scorch,' by-the-books hacker and technical analyst RC-1140 aka 'Fixer,' and morbidly grim sniper RC-1207 aka 'Sev.' The game takes place over several locations, beginning with an assignment on Geonosis at the end of Attack of the Clones and concluding on Kashyyyk just prior to the events of Revenge of the Sith. In Republic Commando, you play as RC-1138 aka 'Boss,' commanding sergeant of a specialized commando unit trained to take on missions that require a greater level of skill and cognitive ability than standard clone troopers possess.
