Developed by BioWare and published by LucasArts , the game was released for the Xbox on July 15 , 2003 , and for Microsoft Windows on November 19 , 2003 . The game was later ported to Mac OS X , iOS , and Android by Aspyr , and it is playable on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One via their respective backwards - compatibility features . The story of Knights of the Old Republic takes place almost 4000 years before the formation of the Galactic Empire , where Darth Malak , a Dark Lord of the Sith , has unleashed a Sith armada against the Republic . The player character , as a Jedi , must venture to different planets in the galaxy in order to defeat Malak . Players choose from three character classes and customize their characters at the beginning of the game , and engage in round - based combat against enemies . Through interacting with other characters and making plot decisions , the alignment system will determine whether the player 's character aligns with the light or dark side of the Force . The game was directed by Casey Hudson , designed by James Ohlen , and written by Drew Karpyshyn . LucasArts proposed developing a game tied to Star Wars : Episode II -- Attack of the Clones , or a game set thousands of years before the prequels . The team chose the latter as they thought that they would have more creative freedom . Ed Asner , Ethan Phillips , and Jennifer Hale were hired to perform voices for the game 's characters , while the soundtrack was composed by Jeremy Soule . Announced in 2000 , the game was delayed several times before its release in July 2003 . The game received critical acclaim upon release , with critics applauding the game 's characters , story , and sound . It was nominated for numerous awards , and is considered one of the best games ever made . A sequel , Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic II -- The Sith Lords , developed by Obsidian Entertainment at BioWare 's suggestion , was released in 2004 . The series ' story continued with the 2011 release of Star Wars : The Old Republic , a MMORPG developed by BioWare .

Beyond class , a character has `` skills '' stats , tiered `` feats '' , and later on , tiered Force powers , similar to magic spells in fantasy games . Feats and Force powers are generally unlocked upon level - up , while the player is given skill points to distribute among their skills every level . Combat is round - based ; time is divided into discrete rounds , and combatants attack and react simultaneously , although these actions are presented sequentially on - screen . The number of actions a combatant may perform each round is limited . While each round 's duration is a fixed short interval of real time , the player can configure the combat system to pause at specific events or at the end of each round , or set the combat system to never automatically pause , giving the illusion of real - time combat . Combat actions are calculated using DnD rules , particularly d20 System . While these are not displayed directly on the screen , the full breakdown for each action ( including die rolls and modifiers ) is accessible from a menu . For much of the game , the player can have up to two companions in their party . These companions will participate in combat . They can be manually controlled by the player , or act autonomously if the player does not give them any input . Outside of combat , the companions will randomly engage the player or each other in dialogue , sometimes unlocking additional quests . They will also participate in conversations the player has with other non-player characters . Non-combat interaction with other characters in the game world is based upon a dialogue menu system . Following each statement , the player can select from a list of menu responses . The dialogue varies based on the gender and skills of the main character . The alignment system tracks actions and speech -- from simple word choices to major plot decisions -- to determine whether the player 's character aligns with the light or dark side of the Force . Generosity and altruism lead to the light side , while selfish or violent actions will lead the player 's character to the dark side , which will alter the character 's appearance , turning their eyes yellow and their skin pale . In addition to the standard role - playing gameplay , there are several minigame events that come up over the course of the game . The player can participate in swoop racing to earn money , and sometimes interplanetary travel will be interrupted by enemy starfighters , which begins a minigame where the player controls a turret to shoot down the opposing starcraft . The player can also engage in a card game known as pazaak , which is similar to the game of blackjack , to gamble money . Story ( edit ) The story takes place approximately 4,000 years before the rise of the Galactic Empire . Darth Malak , a former Jedi , Dark Lord of the Sith and Darth Revan 's former apprentice , has unleashed a Sith armada against the Republic . Malak 's aggression has left the Jedi scattered and vulnerable ; many Jedi Knights have fallen in battle and others have sworn allegiance to Malak . The game opens with the player 's character -- the player can choose a face and be male or female ( canonically a male ) -- awakening aboard a Republic ship , the Endar Spire , which is under attack by Malak 's forces over the city world of Taris . Republic soldier Trask Ulgo soon arrives and informs the player character that they are under attack . Fighting their way to the escape pods , Trask and the player character are soon confronted by Sith Lord Darth Bandon . With no other options , Trask sacrifices himself while the player continues to make their way to the escape pods . The player character soon meets up with Carth Onasi , a skilled pilot and Republic war hero , and they escape the doomed warship . Crashing on the surface of Taris , the player character is knocked unconscious and Carth pulls them away from the wreckage . After suffering a strange vision , the player character awakens in an abandoned apartment with Carth , who explains that Taris is currently under martial law by Malak 's forces who are currently searching for the Jedi Knight Bastila Shan , known for her mastery of battle meditation , a Force technique which strengthens one 's allies and weakens one 's enemies during battle . Carth and the player character go in search of her and manage to meet new companions along the way , such as the Twi'lek street urchin Mission Vao and her Wookiee companion Zaalbar . The group eventually finds and rescues Bastila from the Black Vulkar gang . With the help of utility droid T3 - M4 and Mandalorian mercenary Canderous Ordo , the group escapes Taris aboard the Ebon Hawk , moments before the planet surface is decimated by Malak 's fleet in a vain effort to kill Bastila . While taking refuge at the Jedi Academy on Dantooine , the player 's character trains to be a Jedi , discovers a `` Star Map '' , and learns of the `` Star Forge '' , the probable source of Malak 's military resources . The player 's character and their companions search planets across the galaxy -- Dantooine , Manaan , Tatooine , Kashyyyk , and Korriban -- for more information about the Star Forge , gaining new companions along the way such as the Cathar Jedi Juhani , assassin droid HK - 47 , and ' Grey ' Jedi Jolee Bindo . Through the course of their travels , the player will eventually discover their character 's true identity -- the brainwashed Darth Revan , whom the Jedi Council on Dantooine took in and subjected to memory modification so that he would no longer be a threat to the galaxy , the various visions they had been experiencing being Revan 's memories . Darth Revan had been injured when attacking a Republic planet because Darth Malak turned his ship 's guns on his former master , intent on usurping him . Because Bastila was aboard Revan 's ship with a Jedi strike force , she was able to heal him and bring him to the Jedi Council on Dantooine . Her actions lead to the force bond between her and Revan , which plays a role later in the game . Depending on the character 's alignment , upon ultimately reaching the Star Forge they either defeat the Sith ( the light - side path ) or usurp control from Malak ( the dark - side path ) . A light - aligned character is hailed as a savior and hero ; a dark - side character stands before the remaining Sith forces as the new Dark Lord of the Sith . Characters and locations ( edit ) Further information : List of Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic characters Eventually joining the main character 's quest are veteran Republic pilot Carth Onasi , the Twi'lek teenager Mission Vao and her Wookiee companion Zaalbar , the Jedi Bastila Shan , ' Grey ' Jedi Jolee Bindo , utility droid T3 - M4 , Mandalorian mercenary Canderous Ordo , and assassin droid HK - 47 if he is bought . Juhani , another Jedi , may also join the party if she is not killed fighting the main character . Several of these characters , including Canderous Ordo , HK - 47 and T3 - M4 , also appear in the sequel , Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic II -- The Sith Lords . Republic soldier Trask Ulgo is also playable briefly on the Endar Spire . Antagonists include Black Vulkar gang leader Brejik , crime boss Davik Kang , bounty hunter Calo Nord , Zaalbar 's twisted brother Chuundar , Malak 's Sith apprentice Darth Bandon , Sith Admiral Saul Karath , Sith Overseer Uthar Wynn , Rakatan tribe leader The One , and Darth Malak , the Dark Lord of the Sith . On several planets the main character deals with Czerka Corporation , a company operating on several planets that allied itself with the Sith , engaged in slave trade and other nefarious practices . Major allies that help the player 's party along the way are Hidden Bek gang leader Gadon Thek , Jedi Masters Vandar Tokare and Zhar Lestin , game hunter Komad Fortuna , Zaalbar and Chuundar 's father Freyyr , Uthar 's Sith apprentice Yuthura Ban , Republic representative Roland Wann , the Rakatan tribe `` The Elders '' , and Republic Admiral Forn Dodonna . Action takes place on the planets Tatooine , Dantooine , Kashyyyk , Korriban , Manaan , Rakata Prime , and Taris ; aboard the Republic cruiser Endar Spire and Saul Karath 's ship Leviathan ; and on the Star Forge space station . A space station near Yavin is a playable location in the PC , Mac OS X , and mobile versions of the game and is available to Xbox players via download from Xbox Live . Travel between these locations happens aboard the freighter Ebon Hawk , which is also a playable location . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) In July 2000 , BioWare announced that they were working with LucasArts to create a Star Wars role - playing video game for the PC and next - generation consoles . Joint BioWare CEO Greg Zeschuk commented that `` The opportunity to create a richly detailed new chapter in the Star Wars universe is incredibly exciting for us . We are honored to be working with the extremely talented folks at Lucas Arts , developing a role - playing game based upon one of the most high - profile licenses in the world . '' The game was officially unveiled as Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic at E3 2001 . At this point , the game had been in development for around six months . `` Preproduction started in 2000 , but the discussions started back in 1999 , '' LucasArts ' Mike Gallo said , `` The first actual e-mails were in October or November of ' 99 . That 's when we first started talking to BioWare . But some really serious work finally started at the beginning of 2000 . '' `` The thing that seems to stand out is that the current game is almost exactly what we envisioned almost three years ago . '' <Td_colspan="3"> -- Project director Casey Hudson in April 2003 The decision to set the game four thousand years before Star Wars : Episode I -- The Phantom Menace was one of the first details about the game made known . LucasArts gave BioWare a choice of settings for the game . `` LucasArts came to us and said that we could do an Episode II game , '' BioWare CEO Raymond Muzyka said . `` Or LucasArts said we could go 4,000 years back , which is a period that 's hardly been covered before . '' BioWare chose to set the game four thousand years before the films as it gave them greater creative freedom . They aimed to create content similar to that from the films but different enough to be a definite precursor . Concept work had to be sent to `` the ranch '' to be approved for use . Muzyka noted that very little of their content was rejected : `` It was more like , ' Can you just make his head like this rather than like that . ' So it was all very feasible . There were good suggestions made and they made the game better , so we were happy to do them . It was a good process really and I think we were pleasantly surprised how easy LucasArts was to work with . '' Zeschuk said that `` Overall , we were really happy with the results . We felt like we had enough freedom to truly create something wonderful . '' Gallo said that BioWare and LucasArts were aiming for a gameplay time of around sixty hours : `` Baldur 's Gate was 100 hours of gameplay or more . Baldur 's Gate 2 was 200 hours , and the critical - path play through Baldur 's Gate 2 was 75 hours ... We 're talking smaller than that ( for Knights of the Old Republic ) , dramatically , but even if it 's 60 percent smaller , then it 's still 100 hours . So our goal for gameplay time is 60 hours . We have so many areas that we 're building -- worlds , spaceships , things like that to explore -- so we have a ton of gameplay . '' Project director Casey Hudson said that one of the greatest achievements and one of the greatest risks was the combat system . `` We wanted to create something that combined the strategic aspects of our Baldur 's Gate series and Neverwinter Nights but which presented it through fast , cinematic 3D action , '' Hudson said . `` That required us to make something that had n't really been done before . '' The developers intended to make the game have more open - ended gameplay . Gallo compared some situations to Deus Ex : `` You have several ways to get through an area and you might need a character who has a specific skill to do that . '' Technical ( edit ) LucasArts and BioWare settled on developing Knights of the Old Republic for the PC and Xbox . The Xbox was chosen over other consoles because of BioWare 's background of developing PC games and greater familiarity with the Xbox than other consoles : `` We could do the things we wanted to do on the Xbox without as much effort as we 'd need to do it on the PS2 or GameCube , '' Gallo said . Other factors included the console 's recent success and the opportunity to release one of the Xbox 's first RPGs . BioWare had previously developed MDK2 for the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 . Hudson said that `` Having experience in developing for other consoles gave us the proper mindset for implementing this game on the Xbox , and , by comparison , the Xbox was relatively easy to develop for . '' Hudson did , however , note that there were some challenges during development . One of the difficulties was in deciding how much graphical detail to provide . `` Since our games generally have a lot of AI and scripting , numerous character models , and huge environments , we stress the hardware in a very different way than most games , '' Hudson said . This made it difficult to predict how well the game would run . The game uses the Odyssey Engine , based on the Aurora Engine ( previously developed by BioWare for use in Neverwinter Nights ) but completely rewritten for Knights of the Old Republic . It was highly detailed for its time : grass waves in the wind , dust blows across Tatooine and puffs of sand rise as the player walks across the seabed . Hudson noted that the differences between consoles and PCs mean that the graphics would have to be modified . `` You typically play console games on a TV across the room while PC games are played on a monitor only inches away . '' Console games put effort into close - up action and overall render quality ; PC games emphasize what can be done with high resolutions and super-sharp textures . Hudson also noted that the difference between a game controller and mouse - and - keyboard setup influenced some design decisions . The PC version features an extra location the player can visit and more NPCs , items and weapons ; these additions were later made available on the Xbox version through Xbox Live . The PC version supports higher display resolutions ( up to 1600x1200 ) and has higher - resolution textures . Sound ( edit ) While the main game , graphics engine and story were developed by BioWare , LucasArts worked on the game 's audio . Knights of the Old Republic contains three hundred different characters and fifteen thousand lines of speech . `` One complete copy of the Knights of the Old Republic script fills up 10 5 - inch binders , '' voice department manager Darragh O'Farrell noted . A cast of around a hundred voice actors , including Ed Asner , Raphael Sbarge , Ethan Phillips , Jennifer Hale , and Phil LaMarr was assembled . `` Fortunately , with a game this size , it 's easy to have an actor play a few different characters and scatter those parts throughout the game so you 'll never notice it 's the same actor you heard earlier , '' O'Farrell said . Voice production started six months before the game 's beta release . The voice production team were given the script 90 % complete to work with . `` There were a few changes made during recording , but most of the remaining 10 percent will be dealt with in our pickup session , '' O'Farrell said , `` The pickup session is right at the end of the project , where we catch performance issues , tutorial lines , verbal hints , and anything else that we might have overlooked . '' A game the size of Knights of the Old Republic would typically take seven weeks to record ; two weeks of recording all - day and all - night meant LucasArts were able to record all voices in five weeks . Actors were recorded one at a time , as the non-linear nature of the game meant it was too complicated and expensive to record more than one actor at a time . Most of the dialogue recorded was spoken in Galactic Basic ( represented by English ) ; however , around a tenth of the script was written in Huttese . Mike Gallo used Ben Burtt 's Star Wars : Galactic Phrase Book & Travel Guide to translate English into Huttese . `` The key to recording alien dialogue is casting the right actor for the part , '' O'Farrell said , `` Over the years I 've had actors take to Huttese like a fish to water , but the opposite is also true . In the past I 've had to line - read ( when an actor copies my performance ) 150 - plus Huttese lines to an actor in order to make it work . '' Award - winning composer Jeremy Soule was signed to compose the game 's score . `` It will be a Star Wars score , but it will all be original , and probably the things that will remain will be the Force themes and things like that , '' Gallo said . Soule was unable to write a full orchestral score for Knights of the Old Republic due to technical limitations : `` At the time we only had an 8 megabit per second MIDI system . That was state of the art ... I had to fool people into thinking they were hearing a full orchestra . I 'd write woodwinds and drums , or woodwinds , horns and drums , or strings and drums and brass . I could n't run the whole orchestra at once , it was impossible . '' Release ( edit ) When announced at E3 2001 , Knights of the Old Republic was originally scheduled for a late 2002 release . In August 2002 it was announced on the game 's forums that its release had been delayed : the Xbox version was to be released in spring 2003 and the PC version in summer 2003 . A further delay was announced in January 2003 , with both versions of the game expected to be released in fall 2003 . Zeschuk attributed the delay to BioWare 's focus on quality : `` Our goal is to always deliver a top - notch gameplay experience , and sometimes it can be very difficult to excel in all areas . We keep working on tackling each individual issue until we feel we 've accomplished something special . '' The Xbox version of Knights of the Old Republic went gold on July 9 , 2003 with a release date of July 15 . It sold 250,000 copies in the first four days of its release , making Knights of the Old Republic the fastest - selling Xbox title at the time of its release . Following the game 's release , it was announced that free downloadable content would be available through Xbox Live at the end of the year . The PC version of the game went gold on November 11 , 2003 and was released on November 18 . It was re-released as part of the Star Wars : The Best of PC collection in 2006 . The game was released on Steam on May 14 , 2012 for Mac OS X . The game was released for the iPad on May 30 , 2013 . The iPad version includes the Yavin Station DLC that was previously released for Xbox and PC . The game was released as DRM - free download on GoG.com in October 2014 . The game was also launched on Android 's Google Play Store on December 22 , 2014 . In October 2017 , Microsoft made the Xbox One console backward compatible with the Xbox version of the game , as part of a 13 - game curated catalog . Reception ( edit ) Sales ( edit ) After its release on July 16 , 2003 , the first Xbox shipment of Knights of the Old Republic sold out within four days on shelves , which amounted to 250,000 sales during that period . This made it the console 's fastest - ever seller at the time of its launch . The game ultimately sold 270,000 copies in its initial two weeks , and was ranked by The NPD Group as the # 2 best - selling console game of its debut month across all platforms . It fell to the 8th position on NPD 's sales chart for August and was absent by September . Worldwide sales reached 600,000 copies by October . In the United States alone , the Xbox version of Knights of the Old Republic sold 1.3 million copies and earned $44 million by July 2006 . It also received a `` Silver '' sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association , indicating sales of at least 100,000 copies in the United Kingdom . Following its launch in November 2003 , the computer version of Knights became the third - best - selling computer title of its debut week , according to NPD . Although it dropped out of NPD 's weekly top 10 by its third week , it claimed sixth place in computer game sales for November overall , and ninth for December . It returned to the weekly top 10 during the December 28 - January 3 period , but was absent again on the next week 's chart . NPD ultimately declared it the 17th - best - selling computer game of 2004 . By August 2006 , the computer version had sold 470,000 copies and earned $14.7 million in the United States alone . Edge ranked it as the country 's 32nd - best - selling computer game released between January 2000 and August 2006 . Total sales of the game 's Xbox and computer releases surpassed 2 million copies by February 2005 and 2.5 million by May , and reached nearly 3 million by March 2006 . As of 2007 , Knights of the Old Republic had sold 3.2 million units .
