Star Wars: Lethal Alliance (2006) is a fast-paced action-adventure title built exclusively for handheld consoles by Ubisoft Casablanca. Bridging the narrative gap between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope, the game eschews Jedi and lightsabers to focus on the gritty underworld of mercenaries, bounty hunters, and imperial intrigue.
📖 Story & Canon: Stealing the Death Star Plans
Before Cassian Andor or Jyn Erso in Rogue One, Lethal Alliance offered an expanded universe tale detailing how the Rebel Alliance first discovered the Galactic Empire’s ultimate weapon.
You play as Rianna Saren, a lethal Twi’lek mercenary with a dark past involving the slave trade. Hired by Princess Leia and the Rebel Alliance, Rianna teams up with an invaluable security droid named Z-9000 (Zeeo). Together, they infiltrate Imperial strongholds across iconic planets—including Coruscant, Mustafar, Tatooine, and Despayre—to uncover rumors of a planet-killing superweapon and secure the Death Star plans.
⚙️ Core Gameplay & Mechanics: Duo Synergy
The heart of the gameplay relies on combining Rianna’s physical agility with Zeeo’s technical capabilities:
- Acrobatic Combat: Rianna wields dual blasters, heavy energy rifles, and a wrist-mounted melee blade. Her mobility lets her roll, wall-run, and flip around enemies to bypass shields and armor.
- Zeeo Assists & Synergy Moves: Zeeo hovers right beside Rianna and can be used dynamically during platforming and gunfights:
- 🚀 Traversal: Zeeo acts as a grappling hook, zip-line glide, and magnetic rail tether.
- 💥 Combat Assists: You can order Zeeo to shock surrounding Stormtroopers, create force-field shields, or act as a defensive decoy.
- 💻 Hacking Mini-Games: When accessing secure Imperial terminals, you take direct control of Zeeo to complete timed slicing puzzles.
- Stealth vs. Firefights: Certain sections encourage hiding in shadows and using silent takedowns to prevent alarm systems from calling in wave after wave of Imperial reinforcements.
⭐ Short Review: Solid Handheld Action
The Good
- Unique Duo Dynamics: The synergy between Rianna and Zeeo makes traversal and platforming feel fluid, offering a fun mix of acrobatics and third-person shooting.
- Great Star Wars Ambience: Visiting classic locations, listening to authentic sound effects, and running into major franchise figures (like Princess Leia, Kyle Katarn, and Darth Vader) keeps the Star Wars atmosphere strong.
The Bad
- Camera & Targeting Quirks: The lack of a second analog stick on the PSP means camera adjustment during chaotic firefights can occasionally feel stiff.
- Repetitive Level Design: Later levels in Imperial facilities tend to reuse similar metallic corridors and hacking puzzles, leading to occasional pacing drag.
