STAR WARS: Squadrons

STAR WARS: Squadrons is a space combat game set after the fall of the Empire. The player becomes a squadron pilot and completes missions together with his comrades. Flights take place in first person, and the controls take some getting used to: energy is distributed between engines, weapons and shields. In addition to fighters there are bombers, interceptors and support, and each class has its own tasks. Some missions are based on the protection of objects, some on the destruction of large targets. There is a campaign for both sides and online battles where squadrons meet in direct combat. The design and sound create the feeling of a real space front. Fighters differ in maneuverability, while bombers require cover. Controls can be simplified if you play with a gamepad, but the settings on the keyboard are also flexible. Some missions are built on the defense of large objects, where all classes work at once. The design and sound give the feeling of a real squadron, including intercom conversations. Distributing energy between systems is a skill that comes with experience and determines the outcome of the battle. Squadrons differ in composition, so it is better to complete missions with a suitable vehicle. The missions are linked into the story, but the order of completion is fixed. The expansions added skins and new sets of battles. In addition to the campaign, there are online matches where squadrons meet in direct combat. Vehicle classes differ in purpose, and this affects tactics. Controls can be configured for a gamepad or keyboard. The design and sound carry over into familiar scenes. Anyone who loves piloting and a familiar universe will find the project interesting.
