It would perhaps be easy to overlook Star Wars: Shatterpoint. There’s not exactly a shortage of skirmish games at the moment and this is far from the first miniatures-based title set in the galaxy far, far away - Atomic Mass Games themselves already own the excellent Star Wars: Legion.
That game, good though it is, doesn't quite capture the dynamic nature of combat seen in the movies and TV shows. By contrast, Star Wars: Shatterpoint neatly evokes the fast and fluid fights of the prequel trilogy and the Clone Wars animated series. And while it undoubtedly has similarities to Marvel: Crisis Protocol (another big-hitter from Atomic Mass), there's enough flavor here to make Shatterpoint feel genuinely unique and worthwhile.
