Star Wars: Zero Company launches

gamingAug 27, 202622300

Star Wars: Zero Company launched today, and players immediately dove into its XCOM-inspired turn-based firefights and deep character creator after the release went live. Early streams and quick-look videos show tense permadeath moments where squads scramble when plans fall apart, with one player calling a chaotic retreat a "bottled magic" XCOMy scene. Many players are sharing custom main characters, Mirialan and alien protagonists get name-drops, while others note a crashy launch and developers posting celebratory messages and a login reward, BR-0, to mark the release. The tone is a mix of excited discovery, emergent battlefield stories, and some technical hiccups as people explore the Clone Wars setting.

well so far Zero Company looks like an interesting game hidden behind a spectacularly crashy release.

I am have heard some great reviews, and I adore tactical, turn-based, squad-level games, but I might just wait for a couple of patches ...

It's not called zero bugs now is it.

Glynn Stewart1

Oof. All of the previews and reviews looked good enough that I did a week minus one preorder. Hope it gets fixed fast (or that the problems are of the ilk that "too much computer" can power through for me)

I've played two hours of Zero Company and it's GOTY stuff. Super slick, respectful of the XCOM design template but adds some new stuff, I'm very impressed. Had a lovely XCOMy moment already where things started to go badly and I had to leg it. Bottled magic. 10/10.

there's a version of Zero Company in my head where a generated Ewok named Turd Glupkin is my rockstar commando operator, and he dies tragically to a 1 in 100 shot. this just ain't that game. (I still like it)
