UNCOVERED: Star wars zero company is more than just star wars xcom it feels like mass effect but with turn based tactics and permadeath | History Defined

Togruta character in Star Wars Zero Company looking at camera.

Weeks after my visit to Bit Reactor, I can still distinctly remember every mission from my four and a half hours of hands-on time. It nails the XCOM specialty of combat that leaves you with stories, like when I used Jedi Padawan Tel-Rea Vokoss to force pull a guy into an exploding barrel, blowing up him and a bunch of his friends.

My greatest tactical coup? Laying down a ton of suppressing fire on an enemy spawn just as a droideka (those guys with the bubble shields) entered the picture. He needed a turn to set up, and my team chunked most of his health bar before he could manage, transforming what was supposed to be the hardest encounter of the day into a cakewalk.
