In the first title of the series players were pulled out of deep space and locked away in Vader’s castle. In Episode II the main character learns how to utilize the Force and goes on a mission to collect a powerful, ancient artifact for the most recognizable Sith Lord of all time – Darth Vader.
Episode III delivers a conclusion to this story. droid companion, Z0-E3, players are tasked with making a return to Vader’s castle and bringing his plan to an abrupt end to save Mustafar.
Perhaps the most compelling reason to purchase Vader Immortal: Episode III, however, is the fact that at some point in the game the player has to participate in a lightsaber duel with Darth Vader himself – an experience most hardcore Star Wars fans will drool over.
