    Update: 2 months later and there is still no update. Looks like the game will have no support. I do not understand how those bizzare text boxes passed through their testing. The worst thing is that almost all reviews mentioned those huge text boxes but they have not fixed it. Do not buy this game until they fix it! It is unplayable.

    Looks much better than the mobile version but I would appreciate some changes related to the subtitles and the huge status pop up. Subtitles have no margin and the text is placed right next to the border. Battle status is placed in the huge pop up that takes 1/3 of the screen. Why is it that huge? I have also met several graphical issues. If they fix the text positioning and the pop up size it is gonna be a solid 9.    … Expand

    Even with a new release this game still has game breaking bugs, was inside the ebon hawk and got to the turrent part of the game, instead of dying the screen goes black so i have to quit the game and start 2 hours of progress all over again. atleast fix the bugs in this game before realising it.

    DnD but Star Wars was not what I was expecting at all. And as a Star Wars fans and a DnD fan I kinda hate this. DnD you get to built your character find broken combos, have fun with friends and imagine these epic. And in this it’s just your guy swings a sword or fires a gun waits 3 seconds then does it again… you might need to use an item to heal every now and then.

The story is great similar to the other Star Wars Videogames but by far this is the worst combat in any Star Wars Videogame.… Expand

    It's a strange one. There couldn't be a title that's more due of a remake yet also still a really good time as Knights of the old Republic. Although it came out around the same time as when the prequels were in cinemas, it has more in kin with the classic trilogy insomuch as what was once cutting edge is now low-fi and that very aspect comprises a large part of the charm. Not without issues, but to focus on those issues in the harsh light of day would feel too much like pestering an old person for losing their teeth - an influential old person, with lots of great stories. So, while a remake is most welcome one does wonder if it'll lose something in the translation about what makes this version work. It's the OG that captures the scale of the Star Wars Universe unlike any other Star Wars game. It absolutely deserves play in 2022.

    A game with such a grand reputation deserves better than this bare-minimum approach of a port. [Issue #57 – January/February 2022, p. 21]

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a solid evolution of the CRPG genre, and the Nintendo Switch is a wonderful way to experience this classic. For $15, it’s basically a steal. I’m hoping Aspyr gets a chance to revive its sequel next, because from what I’ve heard that seems to take more thematic risks. I’m also glad that this version is as good as it is, because it’s great for it to be preserved before the upcoming remake comes out.
