Jedi Outcast Review — Step Aside Cal Kestis, Kyle Katarn Is Here
By
Jordan Boyd
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast still provides the best lightsaber combat in any Star Wars game to date.
17 years after its original release, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast has returned on both the Nintendo Switch and PS4. This port is pretty barebones but should come to satisfy fans of Star Wars video games and this longrunning series in particular. There are some annoying bugs and some bad design choices that are simply a product of this game’s age. Thankfully, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is still one of the best games stemming from the series’ now non-canon extended universe.
Players will take on the role of Kyle Katarn, a Jedi who sits somewhere between the light side and the dark side. The Jedi Knight series has four games and one expansion. If this is your first time checking out Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, no prior knowledge of the series is needed to get enjoyment out of the story. There are references to things from the other games that may go over a newcomer’s head, but ultimately, the plot is straightforward enough to follow. Movie references are also sprinkled throughout making for a game that still feels like it takes place eight years after the original trilogy.
[pullquote]»Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is still one of the best games stemming from the series’ now non-canon extended universe.»[/pullquote]
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and its sequel Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy have a cult following of players that still go back to each game for the deeply satisfying lightsaber combat.
This combat can be experienced online in the original versions of each game. What’s baffling is that this port completely omits multiplayer. The developers have said that it’ll be included in Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, which is admittedly the better lightsaber game. However, it’s sad that many of the maps in Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast will be locked on the original game. Thankfully, the title can still be actively played on PC.
The design of each level in Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast will throw a lot of players off. Whereas games tend to hold each players’ hand a bit more in this day and age, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast relies on the player becoming familiar with the environment and thinking about which force powers can help them move forward. Sometimes this requires the player to look in very unconventional places, and that’s not an exaggeration at all. If you’ve played the game before then it’s a breeze but it can be quite jarring for newcomers and those who are revisiting the game after so many years.
In one aspect, these design decisions garner a lot of praise as they encourage exploration in otherwise small areas. However, sometimes the solution doesn’t always feel very fair. I found myself saying «how was I supposed to know that,» more times than one. Thankfully, plenty of handy guides are available online for those who get stuck because, you know, this game is pretty old. There’s no shame in getting caught up somewhere so don’t get too frustrated. The solution is usually right in front of you in a place you wouldn’t expect.
The opening levels of Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast don’t immediately have Kyle, the main protagonist, wielding a lightsaber. At the end of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, Kyle abandoned the force so throughout Jedi Outcast, he eventually is drawn back to it. This adds a sense of growth and progression that’s very linear. The sequel, Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy would expand on progression in 2003.
Shooting in Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is super cumbersome and never really feels good at all. Guns and other tools are required though at multiple parts in the game so players will have to become used to the very outdated shooting mechanics. These outdated mechanics also carry over to the enemy NPCs who’ll begin shooting you as soon as you turn a corner. It doesn’t take long to get a lightsaber though and it certainly acts as a heavy motivation moving forward in the game. The level where you first get to use it on enemies is made all the sweeter just like it was in 2002.
Kyle Katarn is still a likable protagonist despite his very vanilla appearance. He’s witty without being Han Solo and determined without coming across as a Skywalker. Being a Jedi who blurs the lines between light and dark makes him a more complex character who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. The story itself is impressive even today, bringing the likes of Billy Dee Williams back for Lando Calrissian as well as some voice actors who do an admirable job at replicating iconic characters from the movies.
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast has its moments of campiness but ultimately acts as a satisfying Star Wars story that still holds up.
Aspyr should be commended for also included Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast’s wide range of cheats that alter the gameplay experience. Different lightsaber colors, a god mode, and more are so cool to see in the game again. In a world where cheat codes have been turned into DLC and microtransactions, it’s quite sad to see these things in a game again.
[pullquote]»Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is undeniably a classic.»[/pullquote]
This port isn’t perfect and contains some pretty annoying bugs. Much of the game becomes platforming in the latter half and loading saves can randomly cause Kyle to run without any input from the player. Of course, this results in his untimely demise. This glitch is sporadic and was always annoying every time I encountered it. Sometimes it would require multiple loading screens to finally get Kyle to stop moving with some forceful pushes on the analog stick.
For whatever reason, the game also doesn’t let you have one primary save. Every time players stop to save, an additional file will be added and a little over halfway through the game I was told that I had no more room for saves. This isn’t necessarily a glitch but it was still annoying that I was forced to go into my data and delete files.
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is undeniably a classic. This game is a wonderful look back at a time when Star Wars and video games were a lot simpler. While the exclusion of multiplayer is a real bummer the story itself and low asking price make this a must-play for fans old and new. Hopefully, some of those annoying bugs will be patched out over time.

Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2 — Jedi Outcast walkthrough
The Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2 — Jedi Outcast walkthrough described below was completed at the intermediate «Jedi» level. Let’s get started:
Mission I
Level 1 — Outpost Kajim
You have to start with a diversion in the most remote outpost of Kajim.
When you and your partner Jen disembark from the helicopter, then move forward until you hear a conversation between a couple of stormtroopers. After they finish talking, you can get out of hiding and start a shootout.
After killing them, search the corpses and take the assault rifle from them. Then move along the cliff, moving along the overpass. After a while you will meet an officer. Shoot him and move forward. Once on the platform near the main entrance, be prepared for the fact that you will be met by five stormtroopers. Also, one will be hiding on the second floor. Finish them off while trying to cover Jen, because if she dies, everything will have to start over.
Chat with Jen and move on. Once near the turn, which is on your left, beware of three stormtroopers. Shoot them and turn. When you find yourself in a small room in the passage of the game Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2 — Jedi Outcast, you can go to the regenerator and charge your power shield on it. Then move through the doors, killing the officer along the way.
Look to the right and find the elevator. Get into it and go upstairs. Go back into the small room and use the small console with the image of a turret located near the window. After that, you will receive a message from Jen, in which he will say that she was attacked.
Go down one floor and deal with the three enemies who have settled on the flyover. Then go to the main entrance. Look around and move to the cliff. There are turrets around him. You should climb one of them and shoot a few times at the central gate.
After that, in the passage of Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2 — Jedi Outcast, you need to run into the passage with Jen and go down the elevator. When you exit at the lower level, then open the door and climb inside. Finish off the stormtrooper with his brothers, and then look around to see the officer, protected by glass. Don’t even try to break through it. Leave it for now. Better get out into the hallway.
Look around and notice that all the doors in it will be illuminated with red lights, indicating that they are closed.
But one will not have this indicator, so go through the open door and get out to the warehouse. First, pick up the batteries that are lying around, and then break into small pieces those boxes that have yellow symbols on them.
After a massive explosion occurs, jump down into the passage formed in the floor. Move along the tunnel until you find yourself near a large generator. Land a few well-aimed shots on him to activate his detonation. Once you manage to start the process, run back through the tunnel.
Wait until the blast wave subsides to return to the generator and go around it. So you will find yourself near the elevator, on which you can climb up.
Continue through Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2 — Jedi Outcast and exit into a small room. Find the ventilation shaft and shoot through the grate you see in the floor. Then climb through the passage and finish off the officer. Then look around and realize that you are in that glass room that you saw from the start and could not get into it.
Look around and start pressing the three buttons that will glow red. After a while, wait for Jen to appear. Get out of the room into the corridor and beware of an attack by an officer with stormtroopers. After you eliminate them, move through the door where they came out. So go out into the next room.
Go through the right door now to exit to the warehouse. Stormtroopers will attack you there. Try to get rid of them as soon as possible, and then look around to find the highlighted box. Go to it and try to open it by simply clicking on the small button located on its right side. So in your hands will be a night vision device.
Now in the passage of the game Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2 — Jedi Outcast I advise you to look around and find the corner platform, and on it — the console. Step on it and activate the console. Then the light will turn off. Use the night vision device and inspect everything. Now Jen will inform you that this object is divided into three sectors.
You are in the «blue» part, and you need to get into the «red» part, but for this you first have to go through the «green» part.
Quickly walk along the crates placed near the right wall until you reach a small door. Bend slightly to open it, and then climb inside. Just be careful, because an officer with stormtroopers will attack now. After you cut off their oxygen, you can approach the wide screen, which can be seen not far from the control panel.
Examine it for a blue symbol. It is this sign that is the key to the «blue» section. Go to the computer, on the monitor of which the image of the base glows, and start pressing two buttons to open the door. Run through it.
When in the passage of the game Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2 — Jedi Outcast you find yourself in another room, then look for the button on the wall. This is the only way to remove the force field so that you can safely climb the stairs.
Once there, look for a door with a green light. Move to the left and kill the enemies.
Sooner or later you will come out into a large hall, which will contain three bridges and a control console. There are three access symbols on it. Since blue is already in your arsenal, the only thing left to find is the other two. Approach the bridge that leads to the «green» section, it is located on the left. Move on it.
Once in the next room, start disarming the two cannons located under the ceiling. And then move through the door that will be highlighted in green. Once inside, turn right to enter a glass room that has generators to recharge. Also there you can take spare cartridges for the rifle. After a little profit, come back.

Context
The events described in the game take place approximately 14 years after the Battle of Yavin. The player assumes the role of Jaden Korr, a new student at the Jedi Academy founded by Luke Skywalker on Yavin IV. The story revolves around the emergence of a Sith cult called the Disciples of Ragnos. Jayden becomes a student of Kyle Katarn (the protagonist of Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II) with Rosh Penin as a fellow student. The player follows the investigations of Kyle and Luke Skywalker in search of traces of said cult.
History
Arriving on Yavin IV, the student transport is attacked and must urgently land in the forests that cover the moon. The attack, however, was only a distraction, allowing Alora, Tavion’s apprentice, to steal valuable data from within the Academy itself. Jayden, chosen for being the first to successfully create a functional lightsaber without the use of the Force, and Rosh Penin, a student with the basics of the Force, do not fit in with the rest of the group and are forced to join their Academy. Jayden, armed with his lightsaber, first detects the presence of the Imperials on the moon, and then near the Massassi temple, a woman armed with a scepter pointed at the temple, sending a line at it. Continuous energy… deflecting towards the hero, rendering him unconscious. Some time later, Jayden stands up surrounded by Kyle, Luke, Roche and other students…
During the Jedi training course, a rivalry breaks out between Rosh and Jayden, the former attempting to finish the course before the other out of competition.
To slow Jaden down, Rosh goes so far as to program a lightsaber-wielding ASP7 training droid against Jaden! Kyle Katarn points out to Rosh that if the droid had been set up to train Luke, Jayden would surely have died there.
game system
The character is accepted into the New Jedi Order, led by Luke Skywalker, in which he is to undergo a short initiation (training manual) and sent across the galaxy on missions on behalf of the New Galactic Republic. The player can define their character’s appearance and also choose their own lightsaber and the guard is similar to the color of his crystal.
After completing a dozen missions on behalf of the new Jedi Order, the player can choose from two new saber styles: two-bladed saber combat (a style used by, among others, Anakin Skywalker against Count Dooku during Attack of the Clones ) or the two-bladed saber popularized by Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace . Another novelty in Jedi Academy , compared to the previous installment is the ability to customize the character from the start of the game, giving it an RPG-like debut.
Indeed, in addition to their character’s face and clothing, the player can choose to incarnate on the male side of Human, Rodian, or Kel’dor, or, if they choose to incarnate a female, embody Human, Twi’lek, or Zabrak.
However, he is unable to choose his character’s name due to the voiceover that mentions the character’s name: Jayden Corr.
Having completed the process of creating a character and his lightsaber, the player chooses the difficulty of the game and starts it, starting with the famous scrolling cinematic characteristic of the saga, and then the story of the game itself begins.
Forces of strength
The game leaves an important place for the power of the Force. The player has a «Power Bar» that depletes when using skills and recharges when no skills are used. Each power has three tiers that increase its effectiveness, its effects, and decrease the rate at which a Bar of Power is consumed. The powers are divided into three groups: the main powers, the powers of the light side, and the powers of the dark side.
Basic abilities are acquired during the tutorial mission at the beginning of the game. Their ranks automatically increase when the player completes an act of play. The powers of the light and dark sides are chosen by the player: he can choose one • new power or increase an existing power by one rank. These options do not affect the game scenario (with the exception of comments by Luke Skywalker or Kyle Katarn in some briefings), but allow you to change the way you play.
| Basic powers | Forces of the light side | Powers of the dark side |
|---|---|---|
| Power surge | Force Absorption ( protects against damage from offensive forces ) | Force Depletion |
| Force Speed | Power Care | Flashes of Power |
| Throw lightsaber ( available in introductory mission ) | Force Persuasion ( distracts opponents and can temporarily convert them to max power rank ) | Grip of the Force |
| Force Pull ( to attract enemies or objects ) | Protection from the Force ( protects against damage and attacks not related to the forces of the Force ) | Force Rage ( temporarily increases strength and speed, but drains health ) |
| Force Push ( to push enemies, objects and some projectiles ) | ||
| Force Vision |
Development
The game is the latest (to date) part of the Jedi Knight series.
It is developed based on the graphics engine Quake 3 with some modifications such as third person view and new saber effects.
Following Disney’s decision to close LucasArts Studios at , Raven Software developers released the game’s source code to SourceForge.net under the GNU GPL v2 license. This source code was removed soon after as it contained proprietary libraries for Xbox and Bink Video.
