Video games are all about second chances. Respawning, restarting and reloading are fundamental pillars of the medium, and most “game over” screens offer the option to try again instantly. Star Wars Zero Company, a new turn-based tactics game set in the iconic sci-fi universe, is technically no different. But it can be, if you opt to turn on the permadeath setting.
If you want to play this game with the comfort blanket that any wrong moves can be rectified with a quick reload, developers Bit Reactor won’t stop you. But trust me, this Star Wars game goes from good to great if you’re willing to embrace failure and select permadeath from the start.
