So, if you’re looking for a gory, hack-and-slash game you may be a bit disappointed. In Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order most combat features a lot of flashing lights and sparks – blood are graphic executions are noticeably lacking a presence in the game. Since then, however, most of the power of a lightsaber has been kept subtle throughout Star Wars themed video games.
JEDI ACADEMY GORE MOD FREE
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (which was released in 2003) gave players more free reign when it came to swiping off Stormtrooper limbs, decapitating enemies, and more. There have been titles where the gore levels were a bit higher. A few key moments in campaigns feature some brutal lightsaber action, but not much else. Star Wars games have, for the most part, been pretty conservative when it comes to gore and extreme violence. A sentiment that they believe follows the same climatic experiences of the Star Wars movies. While the developers recognize that players would love to have the ability to chop off arms and other body parts – Respawn states that they prefer to save this gruesome display of power for pivotal moments in the story itself. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order isn’t going to break the cycle either, says Aaron Contreras, the narrative lead at Respawn Entertainment.
Despite the fact that every true Star Wars fan knows and respects the limb-slicing capabilities of a lightsaber – we really haven’t seen much of it in the franchise’s video games.
