Star Wars Zero Company is an excellent XCOM-style tactical RPG that proves Star Wars and turn-based strategy are a bloody brilliant combination. After around 40 hours playing on PS5 Pro, I reckon this is one Star Wars game strategy fans absolutely shouldn't overlook.

In this Star Wars Zero Company review, I dive into the tactical combat, XCOM-inspired gameplay, squad building, characters, Bonds, permadeath, progression, campaign structure and the game's surprisingly accessible approach to turn-based strategy.

Zero Company comes from Bit Reactor and combines familiar XCOM foundations with three Action Points, Advantage, character-specific abilities and a system without traditional Fog of War. Throw in Jedi, Clone Troopers, bounty hunters and a bunch of glorified space lunatics, and you've got one seriously addictive tactical RPG.

I also look at the game's presentation and technical issues, including visual artefacts, awkward animations, camera problems and loading hitches, as well as how Star Wars Zero Company performs on PS5 Pro.

Is Star Wars Zero Company worth playing? Is it the Star Wars version of XCOM we've been waiting for? And is this one for tactical RPG veterans, Star Wars fans, or both?
