omg, you guys, there's this new star wars game called zero company and it's all about tactics and strategy, kinda like xcom, but with a star wars twist. the thing that's got me super excited is that you can play as a jedi padawan, tel-rea, who's basically a total rockstar with her dual lightsabers and force push abilities.



but, here's the thing - you only get one tel-rea, and if she dies, she's gone for good. no reviving her or training a new jedi to take her place. i guess this is to stop the game from getting too easy, since jedis are kinda overpowered in the star wars universe. i'm not sure how i feel about this, though - part of me loves the challenge, but another part of me is all "noooo, not my tel-rea!"



on the other hand, you can have a whole squad of r2-d2s, which is basically the best thing ever. i mean, who wouldn't want a team of cute, resourceful astromechs running around and kicking butt? it's like the ultimate fantasy come true. and, apparently, the devs are really into r2-d2, too, because they've given him some awesome abilities and moves.



so, about the game itself - it's a 30-40 hour linear rpg experience with no branching storylines or character romances. it's pretty straightforward, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. you'll have a mix of operations and missions to complete, and you can even craft your own characters, including some pretty exotic classes like the jedi padawan. and, if you're feeling nervous about losing your characters, you can always turn offRead more: Full article on www.rockpapershotgun.com
