'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (スターウォーズ・レベル・アサルト) is a [[Sega Mega-CD]] [[full-motion video]] rail shooter developed by [[LucasArts]]. A port of the developer's titular 1993 [[IBM PC]] game ''[[wikipedia:Star Wars: Rebel Assault|Star Wars: Rebel Assault]]'', it was first published in the United States by [[JVC Musical Industries]] in March 1994, and was later brought to Europe by the same publisher the following September. That same month, it was localized and published in Japan by [[Victor Entertainment]], and was even later published in Brazil by [[Tec Toy]].
 +
 +
==Story==
 +
The game follows the adventures of a young pilot known only as Rookie One, a moisture farmer from Tatooine (similar to Luke Skywalker). The game begins with Rookie One's training, followed by an attack on the Star Destroyer ''Devastator'', after its capture of the ''Tantive IV'' (as depicted in the opening of the first film). The Rebel squad then defends the Rebel base on Hoth from the attack shown in ''The Empire Strikes Back'' and finally launches an assault on the Death Star (with the player taking the place of Luke Skywalker in destroying the battle station).
 +
 +
All of the original characters are replaced by new characters and voices, and in some cases, new situations. For example, Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon are replaced by Rebel Commander Jake Farrell in an A-Wing who saves Rookie One just before he has to take the final shot on the Death Star.
 +
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
{{ScreenThumb|Star Wars Rebel Assault, Rookie One.png|width=200|Rookie One}}
 +
The game is a rail shooter using full-motion video played as the Rebel pilot Rookie One. Most of the graphics are pre-rendered 3D, but in some cases, original footage was filmed for the game with actors. Gameplay consists of four mission types: three spaceflight types and one on foot. Bonus points are awarded for accuracy and whether secondary objectives are accomplished.
 +
 +
The three spaceflight mission types are first-person, third-person, and overhead. In all three types, the ships follow a set path through each mission. The player moves a targeting reticle with the D-Pad, which the ships generally follow. The ships fire lasers with {{A}}. Enemy targets are highlighted in green outlines. If the player moves the targeting cursor after firing, the shots that were already fired follow the cursor. Some missions equip the player with torpedoes to attack objective targets, which are also fired with {{A}}. The majority of missions are first-person, which has more restricted movement than the other types. As such, enemy fire cannot be dodged in this mode; instead, the player must shoot the enemy within a set time frame in order to avoid taking damage, similar to a light gun game. Some stages have branching paths.
 +
 +
There is only one mission where Rookie One is on foot. This mission puts the player in a series of three stationary settings. The player can aim with the D-Pad and shoot with {{A}}. Rookie One can be maneuvered horizontally in order to avoid enemy fire with {{left}}+{{B}} or {{right}}+{{B}}.
 +
 +
When Rookie One takes damage from enemies, the Damage bar increases. The Damage bar recovers slowly over time. The player loses a life when the Damage bar is full. If the player runs out of lives, the game ends, but there is a password system for continuing.

Star Wars: Rebel Assault (スターウォーズ・レベル・アサルト) is a Sega Mega-CD full-motion video rail shooter developed by LucasArts. A port of the developer's titular 1993 IBM PC game Star Wars: Rebel Assault, it was first published in the United States by JVC Musical Industries in March 1994, and was later brought to Europe by the same publisher the following September. That same month, it was localized and published in Japan by Victor Entertainment, and was even later published in Brazil by Tec Toy.

Story

The game follows the adventures of a young pilot known only as Rookie One, a moisture farmer from Tatooine (similar to Luke Skywalker). The game begins with Rookie One's training, followed by an attack on the Star Destroyer Devastator, after its capture of the Tantive IV (as depicted in the opening of the first film). The Rebel squad then defends the Rebel base on Hoth from the attack shown in The Empire Strikes Back and finally launches an assault on the Death Star (with the player taking the place of Luke Skywalker in destroying the battle station).

All of the original characters are replaced by new characters and voices, and in some cases, new situations. For example, Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon are replaced by Rebel Commander Jake Farrell in an A-Wing who saves Rookie One just before he has to take the final shot on the Death Star.

Gameplay

Rookie One

The game is a rail shooter using full-motion video played as the Rebel pilot Rookie One. Most of the graphics are pre-rendered 3D, but in some cases, original footage was filmed for the game with actors. Gameplay consists of four mission types: three spaceflight types and one on foot. Bonus points are awarded for accuracy and whether secondary objectives are accomplished.

The three spaceflight mission types are first-person, third-person, and overhead. In all three types, the ships follow a set path through each mission. The player moves a targeting reticle with the D-Pad, which the ships generally follow. The ships fire lasers with A. Enemy targets are highlighted in green outlines. If the player moves the targeting cursor after firing, the shots that were already fired follow the cursor. Some missions equip the player with torpedoes to attack objective targets, which are also fired with A. The majority of missions are first-person, which has more restricted movement than the other types. As such, enemy fire cannot be dodged in this mode; instead, the player must shoot the enemy within a set time frame in order to avoid taking damage, similar to a light gun game. Some stages have branching paths.

There is only one mission where Rookie One is on foot. This mission puts the player in a series of three stationary settings. The player can aim with the D-Pad and shoot with A. Rookie One can be maneuvered horizontally in order to avoid enemy fire with Left+B or Right+B.

When Rookie One takes damage from enemies, the Damage bar increases. The Damage bar recovers slowly over time. The player loses a life when the Damage bar is full. If the player runs out of lives, the game ends, but there is a password system for continuing.

Versions

The Mega-CD version is missing the Imperial Probe Droids mission, which is Chapter 7 in the other versions, and instead skips straight to Imperial Walkers. The Mega-CD version also has considerably less sharp and detailed graphics than those of the PC and 3DO versions, and it also lacks the option to play as a female Rookie One.
