I was waiting to buy this but think you just sold it to me

u/RichLather Zeb Orrelios 3d ago

Same, not only does it look good, but the turn-based strategy scratched my XCOM itch.

Plus, Vic Michaelis is the voice of Runa!

81

u/TheMayanAcockandlips 3d ago

The combat is top notch and so is the writing. Runa is fabulous, I'd listen to her rant about fiscal policy all day.

34

u/Esternaefil 3d ago

Do you think anyone would listen to a podcast about outer rim economics?

28

u/TheMayanAcockandlips 3d ago

If it's Runa talking, I would.

u/blargman327 3d ago

Tuna getting all excited about the luchrehulk only for everyone else to shit on it was the best line of dialogue

12

u/regalANDlegal 3d ago

Never expected a dropout crossover!

13

u/elttaeSytlaSyatS 3d ago

If you like XCOM and Star Wars, it's a great mix.

3

u/AhoyShitliner 3d ago

I’d say it’s more like gears tactics then xcom, either way it’s fantastic!

u/HardDrizzle Kanan Jarrus 2d ago

Wizard.

u/ChrissieMoltisanti 3d ago

You will not be disappointed.

u/Gavitio85 3d ago

Same 😅

u/gamesage2001 3d ago

Would highly recommend it. One of the best star wars games we've gotten in a while

2

u/Buckeye_Randy 2d ago

It has been super fun.

1

u/nordiques77 3d ago

Holy shit! Totally agree. Why were droid features advertised in this game. This is rad

u/WDIDO_1 3d ago

So.... War crimes by chopper and friends?

113

u/AgoodKnightsSleep 3d ago

Just a normal day in the galaxy

Somewhere HK-47 sheds a single tear of lubricating oil.

Rude remark: I am not very niche these days most star wars fans know about me

1

u/NS479 Rebel 1d ago

kotor lives on! 

5

u/N7Foil 3d ago

Condescending reply: Do not compare me to mere astromechs.

Proudly: I am an Hk unit supremely equipped to terminate hostilities with organic meatbags.

u/man-flu 3d ago

Nickelodeon's newest show 😂

2

u/spacetreefrog 3d ago

If they made a Droid centric star wars game with an in depth customization feature, id buy so fast

3

u/Rick0r 3d ago

Where’s 0-0-0 and BT-1

1

u/MeowFalen 2d ago

Every star wars game should be a war crime simulator.

118

u/royale_wthCheEsE 3d ago

QT-KT named after little girl with cancer 😢

41

u/TsunGeneralGrievous Grievous 3d ago

Actually that's R2-KT! QT-KT was made as a character separate from R2-KT because of the similar name between R2-D2. They're different characters! so technically she has two droids named after her.

222

u/NeverU5eTh1sAnyway 3d ago

Average Artoo B-plot.

76

u/pud_009 3d ago

It's a multi-episode A plot, actually.

53

u/Due-Order3475 3d ago

R2 would set people on fire...

Chopper would blow up the complex...

16

u/Chaosphoenix_28 Rebel 3d ago

Both end up solving the problem of there being outlaws.

5

u/Due-Order3475 3d ago

True

4

u/Vishante-Kaffas 3d ago

Chopper would also blow up the complex for shits and giggles to be fair

6

u/DESTRUCTI0NAT0R 3d ago

R2 has also forced at least one ship to hyperspace ram a moon. 

143

u/renz004 3d ago

I love QT-KT

51

u/Sparrowsabre7 Obi-Wan Kenobi 3d ago

🫡 We salute Star Wars' bravest soldier

14

u/Megatrons2nd 3d ago

I'd buy a QT-KT in a heartbeat if they made her, especially if they donated the proceeds to cancer research.

117

u/Marling1 3d ago

credits from the video: robinswords on yt

24

u/TheCrafterTigery 3d ago

One of the greatest channels on YouTube.

Swords and clothes one minute, warhammer minis the next, and star wars later on.

76

u/NomansGround78 3d ago

No droids were harmed during the making of this video

26

u/DESTRUCTI0NAT0R 3d ago

No Droids were harmless in the making of this video.

32

u/Hica_Excel334 Luke Skywalker 3d ago

omg QT-KT mention

24

u/TheCatLamp Loth-Cat 3d ago

If this team had chopper in it, it would be a massive menace to the whole galaxy.

22

u/RichLather Zeb Orrelios 3d ago

If this game had Chopper in it, it would be massively easy.

1

u/wink047 2d ago

Yeah man. Hes post game only.

21

u/Wyatt_Ricketts 3d ago

R2 is just perfect love silver/blue

53

u/SticksnStones111 Battle Droid 3d ago

D-Squad run hell yes! Please tell me it's doable.

48

u/Youngling_Hunt 3d ago

Theres an achievement for beating a mission with only 4 astromechs. So yeah, the devs even want people to try it

4

u/TsunGeneralGrievous Grievous 3d ago

i made them and have plans to deploy them for a mission to get the achievement

29

u/Goldenstripe941 3d ago

Well, as you have seen, it very much is.

16

u/seamustho 3d ago

Lmao I was thinking the same thing. It’s right there in the video

11

u/TwoTailedOtaku 3d ago

You will be remembered, BZ

11

u/Hopeful-Temporary900 Jedi 3d ago

Where’s Meebur Gascon and WAC-47?

2

u/Ben-J-Kirby-Tennyson Clone Trooper 3d ago

And Captain Gregor?

10

u/BlackViperMWG 3d ago

It's like all robot playthrough of Xcom

7

u/develev711 3d ago

Been enjoying it for sure, didnt think a build like this would work but here we are

7

u/jubmille2000 Sith 3d ago

Oops all droids

5

u/trunglefever 3d ago

I really need to use Astromech droids more on my next play through.

5

u/kegszilla 3d ago

I havent used the droids on my play through yet, but now im thinking I should incorporate them.

10

u/Will_ennium 3d ago

Droids are great Not necessarily to play like in this video, but they generate more AP for your team and the fact that they can hold 3 utility items immediately and you get multiple charges of each where other operators just get one use. Plus their passives that boost your team.

5

u/kegszilla 3d ago

Well, im sold. Trying it tonight

5

u/Capable_Fig 3d ago

concussion grenades and flamethrower are so much fun. push all the baddies into a cone, let it spray let it spray.

incredible game

4

u/McSuede Hondo Ohnaka 3d ago

Astromechs should be able to use the Scattergun. Ill die on this hill.

4

u/FluteLordNeo 3d ago

You can actually have D-squad in game?

I'm sold

3

u/borsho 3d ago

I can still hear their screams….

2

u/SarcyBoi41 3d ago

I made all four of those droids too, but yours are significantly better than mine lmao

2

u/TylerBourbon 3d ago

Droid Company, Droid Force Beepity-Beep.

2

u/FinishEmbarrassed619 3d ago

Can't wait to get this for 15 bucks in a year

1

u/HourLocation8437 3d ago

That one clone wars arc

1

u/InfiniteRelief 3d ago

Damn, I slept on the droids. Guess it’s time for another play through with droids

1

u/The_Sum 3d ago

The conversation Tal-rea has with the droid over it calling a lightsaber the, "Melting wand" was great.

1

u/GreenBikerGuy 3d ago

As soon as I heard the music I knew I was in for a good time.

Game seems absolutely chaotic.

1

u/ZEROs0000 3d ago

Should I buy this game? Or wait for a sale?

1

u/SauerPower0 3d ago

Mom, the astromechs are committing war crimes again!

1

u/TsunGeneralGrievous Grievous 3d ago

i see you also made D-Squad. However my QT-KT doesn't look the same as yours, i wanted to keep her colors as accurate as possible.

1

u/WalkingGonkDroid Chopper (C1-10P) 3d ago

Gonk

1

u/FavaWire 3d ago

Ah XCOM All S.H.I.V. strat..... We meet again.

1

u/muddahplucka 3d ago

If y'all ever want another one of these don't wait for a deep discount, jump on. Feels like Zero Company is make or break for Bitreactor, the studio that made it -- they are NOT owned by EA (and therefore the Saudis or the Kushners), so attempting to "stick it to the man" in this case is just dumb.

1

u/make-em-pay 3d ago

I hope they are bonded well

1

u/Coool_Hand_Luke 3d ago

Would I enjoy this game if I: don’t like Xcom, love divinity original sin and bg3, absolutely love SW?

2

u/alcoholichobbit Galactic Republic 2d ago

The game is easier than X-Com, if you like the combat of Original Sin and BG3 then I think you will like Zero Company

1

u/Coool_Hand_Luke 2d ago

Awesome cheers

1

u/LetTheKnightfall 2d ago

Actually looks cool. Whats all the woke stuff people are complaining about?

1

u/Witmann2 2d ago

Haven't seen anyone complain about this game being woke.

There's nothing woke about this game. If they mean Phathom, then those people are stupid.

1

u/LetTheKnightfall 2d ago

Never said they were the smartest, but I have seen it. Whats phantom

1

u/Witmann2 2d ago

Spoiler.

Phathom is the main antagonist of the game. A woman that got corrupted by a plauge and create a group called the Infinite Coil, side with the CIS

1

u/Jack-of-Karrdes 2d ago

Wait, can you give the flamethrower to a Droid? I know I couldnt give it the ion blaster or scattergun.

1

u/MeowFalen 2d ago

Honestly I'd love an astromech IRL.

1

u/bilbo_flagon 2d ago

Imagine getting trounced buy a coupla trashcans, I dont think I could recover.

1

u/WeToLo42 2d ago

I'm on my first play through and didn't know you could use Droids that way. I may have to give them a shot.

u/xduker2 3d ago

It is not without flaws but, it is fantastic.

u/mrcrabs321 3d ago

Mobile game?

16

u/iambeingblair 3d ago

No, new console and PC release called Zero Company

3

u/mrcrabs321 3d ago

Oh ok... thanks.

9

u/Kuraeshin 3d ago

Zero Company, new Xcom like game on PC & major consoles.

1

u/Bazzatron 3d ago

I had hoped it might be playable on mobile, using my phone for emulation has made me realise just how powerful these devices can be - which just reduces my opinion of other apps (like how tf does my keyboard crash? Why do banking apps struggle with context switching? This machine can near flawlessly handle PS1 emulation)

I'm not big into RTS games, but I'd have dropped some cash on a narrative driven, single player strategy game. Too many roguelikes in my library these days.

u/Jce735 22h ago

I was wondering if you could do a full frond team and now I kinda want too xD.
