Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend this XCOM-style Star Wars tactics game for its story, characters and tactical combat, but many point to technical problems and thin late-game progression.

Many players enjoy the squad tactics, which blend XCOM-style positioning with combined unit abilities, and the crew of companions whose stories and side missions are well written and voiced. Players also praise the Star Wars atmosphere, references to the Clone Wars era and the deep character customisation. Complaints centre on technical problems: crashes, frame drops in exploration and scene transitions, and in recent reviews after the 1.2 patch, save and mission-progress bugs. Some players find the combat shallow after the first hours, with little progression and repeated maps, and say it lacks the destructible environments and depth of XCOM 2. Recent reviews are more negative and focus on bugs and the 1.2 patch, while older helpful reviews focus on gameplay and story. Some reviews are about the publisher's staff cuts and urge others not to buy the game.

Who it suits

Suits players who like story-driven Star Wars games and squad tactics, and who accept a lighter, less deep take on XCOM.

Who should skip it

Should skip it if you want a deep XCOM successor with replayability and destructible maps, or if you cannot tolerate bugs while the game is patched.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 100 hours are more likely to mention late-game repetition and the campaign's end, while newer players mostly praise the early combat and characters.
