Star Wars Tactics Game: New Heroes, Familiar Galaxy
12 Aug
Summary
- Players create customizable characters, not pre-defined legends.
- The game focuses on original characters within the Clone Wars.
- It blends turn-based tactics with an authentic Star Wars narrative.
Electronic Arts' upcoming title, "Star Wars Zero Company," is set to launch on August 27. Developed by Bit Reactor, this single-player turn-based tactics game distinguishes itself by focusing on original characters. Players will guide former Galactic Republic officer Hawks, a customizable protagonist leading an unconventional mercenary outfit.
The narrative unfolds during the Clone Wars era, chosen for its rich lore and flexibility. Players will confront Kundri Fathom and her cult, the Infinite Coil, within a familiar yet distinct Star Wars setting. The game prioritizes player agency and an authentic experience.
Inspired by the AMC series "Turn," the game surrounds original characters with well-known events and figures from the Clone Wars. Key characters like Anakin Skywalker will appear sparingly, ensuring the focus remains on the player's unique journey and the Zero Company crew.
Bit Reactor aims to make the tactics genre accessible without sacrificing depth. The developers are integrating narrative elements directly into gameplay mechanics. This approach allows both Star Wars enthusiasts and tactics fans to engage with the game's challenges and story effectively.
