STAR WARS Zero Company™

A reverse to the jetpack changes would be nice. This is a single player game for a reason

Experience with this type of game: moderate Playing on difficulty: expert, beskar mode off This kinda sucks. I really enjoy tactical turn-based games, but this game has annoyed me through its inability to stay consistent. you have 4 people on any specific mission and they get action points to spend for actions. one of the first primary mechanics that is introduced to you is overwatch. you place an imaginary cone on area and if an enemy moves or does certain actions in that cone they get shot. Unfortunately it does not work sometimes(they walk through the cone and nothing happens), which does not sound so bad but when they spawn you next to upwards of 20 enemies when you are locked to 4 crew per mission it is infuriating to waste even one action point. I have the same issue with retaliation, but at least that is not a universal action for all characters. Until(if) they fix the consistency with this mechanic I may come back to this game, but for now I am leaving the review and dropping the game.

I'm about a month late on this one, I got sick when I finished this game, but here we go. - INCREDIBLE - I don't even know where to start with this one. Loved it. Felt like playing Xcom all over again. Probably some of the best story content out of the star wars IP we've gotten in a LONG time without a doubt. This game did justice to the franchise. Gameplay was solid as well, a huge improvement on the OW system from Xcom. Lots of interesting and unique characters. I ran in to very minimal bugs. Very graphically pleasing as well. 9/10.

TL;DR - a great experience if you like Star Wars + XCOM style gameplay. If you're good, up the difficulty a bit. Don't expect a super deep experience, but a solid framework to hopefully continue to build new games in this model. I really enjoyed my time playing Zero Company, but I'm also a dad with limited time and attention - so I tend to enjoy quicker, bite-size games that don't require me to memorize complicated storylines or mechanics from playthrough to playthrough. That's Star Wars Zero Company. Pros: - Star Wars Classes and solid Narrative - Relatively simple mechanics - Interesting decision making with regards to how the enemy evolves Cons: - Repetitive battlegrounds with relatively limited win conditions and environmental modifiers - Okay Star Wars plot - Unbalanced classes - once you get the main characters, there is almost no reason to ever use anyone else unless you difficulty is high enough you're sustaining injuries. - Economy and pacing of the game felt a bit unbalanced if not at least true to the narrative. Okay, as I typed out these pros and cons, I think it's worth pointing out that despite a very enjoyable experience on my part - the game is clearly not …

Enjoyable experience, story was decently good, voice acting was good, graphics & fps in general was of high standard. Combat was enjoyable, but Expert (hardest mode) was a bit too easy, but recent patch just added more difficulty options and I highly recommend turning a few extra on! Only nitpicking is the camera often being weird for the enemy turn, locking in on where you ended your turn making you miss action on the battlefield as you are looking at a wall ._. This also occured many times on takedowns having an obstacle in front, usually cover), so you can see nothing of the cool action shot 😅

This seems like a really beautiful, really fun game, and I love the idea of a tactics game in the Star Wars universe. Unfortunately as of early launch, Zero Company is VERY unstable even with a modern gaming rig and much of my playtime was spent trying to work around crashes with no apparent reason. Recommend for the game. DO NOT recommend for the current state of optimization as of mid October '26.
