Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles, originally released on PS1 in 2000 by HotGen Studios, the producer Aspyr in cooperation with Lucasfilm Games has refurbished this action game. The main new features of the remaster are modern controls and a cooperative mode for two people on a shared screen.

Plot

The action in Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is based on a movie Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Due to the blockade of the planet Naboo by the Trade Federation, Jedi monks are sent with an order to resolve the conflict. Crossing the swamps, the city of Theed, the desert Tatooine or Coruscant, they fight battles with droids and other enemies.

Gameplay

In Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles we are dealing with uncomplicated action gameplay, in which platforming stages are combined with fights using lightsabers (capable of deflecting enemy projectiles) and Jedi powers. Depending on the chosen character (Mace Windu, Captain Panaka, battle droid), we have different skills. Thanks to the experience gained through victorious battles fought on ten different levels, we learn new moves.

Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles features plenty of boss fights and additional mini-games. The remastered edition includes modern controls, thirteen newly unlocked characters from the start, all available levels, and combat and training modes introduced in later editions of the game.

Co-op

The remaster of Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles has a “couch” co-op mode for two players.

Graphics

Graphics in Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles are full of rough angles. We look at the three-dimensional world of the game in an isometric view.
