Star Wars: Rebel Assault II - The Hidden Empire vs Star Wars: Return of the Jedi - Death Star Battle

Star Wars: Rebel Assault II - The Hidden Empire puts players in the cockpit of iconic starfighters and on the ground as a Rebel soldier, delivering a story-driven, arcade‑style experience set between the events of Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. With full-motion video, pre‑rendered backgrounds and a blend of on‑rails shooting and quick‑time events, the game captures the feel of a blockbuster space adventure. Originally released in 1995 for PC and Mac, the title features multiple mission types, from dogfights over Hoth to ground assaults on Imperial installations. Its cinematic presentation and Star Wars lore make it a nostalgic favorite for fans of classic rail shooters.

After destroying the reactor you must survive the explosion, then the cycle repeats with increased difficulty, delivering endless arcade challenge for fans of the original film and retro gaming alike.
