"Star Wars: Zero Company is marrying the exacting, high-risk, high-reward playstyle of the XCOM games with the third-person exploration mechanics of something like the aforementioned Fallen Order."
"In a universe filled with so many different alien species and a variety of moral and political factions, naturally players would want to inhabit a character from the ground-up."
"Games such as The Force Unleashed, Knights of the Old Republic, or even the recent Jedi: Fallen Order are enjoyed not simply because they have the Star Wars branding, but because they inhabit the world in ways that are simultaneously familiar and fresh."
"The franchise's best pairing has been the RPG, which makes sense given the rich lore and character diversity in the Star Wars universe."
Star Wars video games have allowed players to explore expansive universes, particularly benefiting from original storytelling within the franchise. While adaptations of films have varied in quality, games like The Force Unleashed and Knights of the Old Republic thrive by offering familiar yet fresh experiences. The RPG genre is particularly suited to the Star Wars universe, allowing players to create characters within its diverse factions. Star Wars: Zero Company, developed by Bit Reactor, merges tactical gameplay reminiscent of XCOM with exploration elements from Jedi: Fallen Order.
