Description

The Star Wars: Shatterpoint game lets players alter the fate of the galaxy from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim.

To start, each player builds a strike team of iconic Star Wars characters, whether thematic squads straight from the Star Wars galaxy such as Ahsoka Tano and Bo-Katan Kryze, or Lord Maul and his loyalist super commandos, or a custom squad that's optimized to complete the various mission objectives for the current game. You then pit your squad against another one, using your characters' special abilities and diverse combat skills to control the flow of battle as you race to complete dynamically evolving mission objectives.
