Overview and Gameplay
Star Wars: The New Droid Army follows Anakin Skywalker as he investigates a powerful Separatist battle droid and tracks its creators across Tatooine, Coruscant, and Metalorn. Isometric stages feature conversations, route finding, environmental hazards, combat encounters, and boss battles. A Comlink records current objectives, while an area map helps navigate connected rooms.
Anakin unlocks Force Speed, Jump, Push, Hide, and Meditation as the story advances. Three difficulty settings adjust the campaign, and short passwords allow progress to resume from later levels.
Controls And Mechanics
The directional pad moves Anakin and selects directional lightsaber techniques. A draws or swings the lightsaber, while B blocks attacks and can reflect blaster fire when timed correctly. L cycles through available Force powers, R activates the selected power, and Select switches between combat and non-combat movement.
A green endurance meter absorbs damage and regenerates over time. Further hits reduce the red life meter after endurance is depleted. Advanced lightsaber combinations and Force abilities consume energy from the Force meter, which also recovers gradually.
