Review of Star Wars: Squadrons
This is a nugget among all the games related to the universe Star Wars. Here the user is not a Jedi, not a Sith, and not even an ordinary soldier. He is a space fighter pilot. And if so, then there will be a lot of flying in space.
There is a choice between two sides - New republic и galactic empire. They have four fighters, each of which belongs to a specific class: fighters, interceptors, bombers and support.
The New Republic has access to the space plane series Wing: A-wing, X-wing, Y-wing and U-wing. Exactly the same situation is with the other side - the Empire. She has access to the series TIE: TIE/ln, TIE/IN, TIE/rp and TIE/sa.
The graphics are nice enough. The c**kpit will immerse the gamer as much as possible in the atmosphere of space battles that took place at the end of the first Galactic War, since the game is purely in the first person. In third person mode you won't switch.
There is not only an interesting story campaign, but also a multiplayer mode that includes the standard "Fight" (the battle is in 5v5 format), as well as unique "Battles of the Fleets". Consider below the features of the latter.
Each side starts the battle by choosing a strategy. Next, the players fly into space and push through the enemy line, while protecting their own. cruiser. Who successfully defended it, he moves on until he reaches the ultimate goal - destruction flagship. When this happens, the game ends and the scores are tallied.
It doesn't matter if the single player mode is running or the multiplayer mode, the gamer can work on appearance your ship. You can change the color, stick all kinds of emblems, and put other decorations in the c**kpit. A large number of customization options will make your spaceship unique.
Developers promise support cross-play - this will allow PC users to interact with those who prefer game consoles such as Xbox or Playstation.
