Star Wars Lethal Alliance - Nintendo DS (Good, Loose)

Game Description

Experience an original tale set in the galaxy far, far away with Star Wars: Lethal Alliance for the Nintendo DS. Unlike most Star Wars games that focus on Jedi or iconic heroes, this action-adventure title puts you in control of Rianna Saren, a Twi’lek mercenary who teams up with her loyal droid companion, Zeeo. Together, they undertake a daring mission for the Rebel Alliance, working behind the scenes during the events leading up to A New Hope.

The DS edition adapts the story with stylus-based controls, touch-screen puzzles, and side-scrolling combat sequences that highlight teamwork between Rianna and Zeeo. Players infiltrate Imperial facilities, disable security systems, and fight stormtroopers across a variety of locations tied to the Star Wars mythos. The combination of handheld-friendly gameplay and an entirely new narrative makes Lethal Alliance a distinctive entry in the extended universe of Star Wars gaming.

For Star Wars fans and collectors, Lethal Alliance holds special appeal as one of the few DS-exclusive adventures set within the franchise. With its mix of stealth, combat, and puzzle-solving, it delivers a different perspective on the Galactic Civil War—focusing on the unsung operatives who helped pave the way for the Rebellion’s eventual triumph.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact

Star Wars: Lethal Alliance was notable for being one of the first original Star Wars stories created exclusively for handheld platforms. Developed by Ubisoft, it diverged from the typical lightsaber-heavy formula and instead focused on espionage, sabotage, and cooperation between a mercenary and her droid. This creative angle gave fans a fresh look at the Galactic conflict from outside the usual cast of characters.

The game is often remembered as one of the more unusual Star Wars tie-ins, released during the pre-Disney Expanded Universe era when LucasArts was experimenting with original narratives. Collectors value it for its unique protagonist, as well as for being one of the few DS-exclusive Star Wars titles, placing it alongside Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Jedi Alliance in the handheld legacy of the franchise.
