Star Wars: Battlefront - Renegade Squadron | PlayStation Portable | PSP

Handheld Warfare Across the Star Wars Galaxy

Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron is a continuation of the Battlefront series and an exclusive for the PSP. Ground combat and tactical skirmishes place combatants directly in the center of key galactic conflicts. Once again the player takes command of either The Rebellion, The Galactic Empire, The Republic Clone Army and The CIS Droid Army, leading foot soldiers and armor across contested combat zones. Armies bring elite forces into the fray with a variety of heroes for each side such as Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo as well as villains like Boba Fett, Darth Maul and Darth Vader among many others.

Story-Driven Campaign and Tactical Conquest

The Campaign mode is told through the perspective at the end of the Star Wars Saga where a young Jedi uncovers the untold history of the Renegade Squadron which is formed after the battle of Yavin IV by none other than Han Solo. The player experiences these battles by playing as soldiers of the Rebellion plus commanders of the rebels like Han Solo and Leia Organa, completing certain tasks for each missions in order to advance. Between these ground engagements, the story is told through comic book style cutscenes with voice overs.

Strategic planetary control returns alongside the story. It features the same modes as in its predecessors: Galactic Conquest where the player chooses which team they want to play as, fighting against their respective enemies on a massive battlefield. The winner of said battle will get to choose witch planet to attack next with the game ending once the home planet of either side is taken by their enemies.

Custom Loadouts, Space Dogfights, and Multiplayer

Unlike the previous games, the class system has been redone where players can customize their own soldiers by selecting which weapons they choose to have before a battle. This tactical freedom lets squads adapt specific arsenals for planetary objectives or void dogfights. Space battles return for this version as well, with the ability to take command of famous ships like the The Millennium Falcon , Tie-Fighters and Star Destroyers.

For competitive action, there is also online capabilities that can support 16 players through Infrastructure and eight players through ad-hoc with a special spending system implemented to purchase custom kits as well as create new characters from scratch.
