Star Wars: Squadrons is a space shooter under the license of Star Wars. This is another game in this universe from the Electronic Arts catalogue. Motive Montreal studio, owned by the publisher, is responsible for the game.

Plot

The action of the game takes place after the events from the movie Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. The Rebel Alliance won the Battle of Endor, during which the Second Death Star was destroyed. Galactic Empire is in retreat, but has not yet been fully defeated.

Star Wars: Squadrons tells the story from the perspective of two pilots - a Vanguards squadron under the flag of the New Republic and a member of the imperial Titan Squadron. The campaign allows us to take the lead in guiding these heroes and thus get to know both sides of the conflict.

Star Wars: Squadrons Review – Finally, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter Returns!

Star Wars: Squadrons is a reminder that showing the universe of Star Wars from the perspective of a regular fighter pilot is a hit. It's just a pity that there's been a lack of momentum and truly epic action.
