At the same time, the visual design differences between each one are absolutely fantastic, and Galactic Battlegrounds really nails the Star Wars aesthetic. It’s not quite as asymmetric as other RTS titles, like StarCraft, but there’s still nice variation between each civ. Each civ also has their own research bonuses that let them focus on specific strategies, like Royal Naboo collecting the essential resource Nova faster, while the Rebel Alliance gets stronger fortresses and can center around those. For example, the Wookies get a fantastic melee unit called the Berserker, while the Galactic Empire gets the Dark Trooper and Probot. The base game feature six different civilizations who all have the same basis, but come with their own unique units and technologies. Galactic Battlegrounds was built on the Genie Engine, which was also used for Age of Empires II. If you’ve played an RTS Galactic Battlegrounds is easy to get into, with the core gameplay loop focusing on collecting four different resources to build up your base and army. The game was co-developed by LucasArts and Ensemble Studios, the now-defunct creators of AoE.īuilt on the same engine as AoE II, Galactic Battlegrounds brilliantly adapts the epic battles of Star Wars into the RTS formula. It’s not unfair to say Galactic Battlegrounds is simply Age of Empires with a Star Wars coat of paint, but that’s why it works so well.
STAR WARS GALACTIC BATTLEFIELD PC
Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds was first released on PC in November 2001, and an expansion titled the “Clone Campaigns” followed a year later to coincide with the release of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. It’s odd, then, that there’s only ever been a few RTS titles, and one of the best Star Wars games ever made is trapped in obscurity. There are plenty of hidden gems out there, but no genre seems as sure a fit for the franchise as real-time strategy.
Star Wars has been adapted into nearly every video game genre imaginable, even kart racers and dancing games.
