A strategy far, far away (EA)The Force is with veterans of the XCOM franchise and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, who’ve created a very impressive new Star Wars strategy game. It’s not an easy life being a fan of either XCOM or Star Wars. The set-up here is fairly straightforward in principle, although not necessarily what you’d expect if you imagine a tactics-based strategy game based in the galaxy far, far away. Zero Company is clearly doing everything it can to appeal to a mainstream audience, with excellent presentation and a genuinely fun script, by one of the writers of the Star Wars Jedi series. While the current state of the cinematic and TV output of Star Wars seems to offer little hope, the franchise is clearly flourishing in terms of video games.
