SW: S features gameplay that the players of cult classic X-Wing series will recognize immediately. The game focuses solely on starfighter dogfights between the forces of the New Republic and the dwindling Imperial Navy.

The game features several solo and multiplayer modes. The single-player Story campaign features events that occurred in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor. Other modes include Dogfights, a 5v5 space skirmishes, the goal of which is to eliminate the enemy team, and Fleet Battles, where the players participate in epic multi-stage encounters, fulfilling various objectives along the way.
The vessels featured in Star Wars Squadrons are divided into four categories: starfighters, bombers, interceptors, and support vehicles. Each class varies in terms of maneuverability, speed, firepower, and armor. Other vital factors are the field of vision from the cockpit and the vessel’s silhouette, which determines the best direction to attack the ship. The game features the most famous machines from the Star Wars saga, including X-Wings and TIE Fighters.
Experience a brand new story of the New Republic and the Empire.
With the death of Emperor Palpatine and the destruction of the second Death Star, the Galactic Empire is in chaos. The forces of the New Republic, established from the Rebel Alliance, scatter their best pilots across the Galaxy to continue the liberation of the worlds still under Imperial control. But the Empire has not said its last word yet. With a fleet of advanced starfighters and elite squadrons of pilots, they will defend their positions to the last man. The Galactic Civil War continues as the brave pilots of X-Wings and TIE Fighters clash among the stars in the furthest reaches of the Galaxy.
Star Wars Squadrons received positive initial reception from the critics. The early previews of the game praised Electronic Arts for taking a step away from their mainstay Star Wars series, which is the Battlefront series. Taking the focus away from epic ground battles and putting it into no less epic, albeit long unexplored starship dogfights was considered a bold move, but a welcome one. The reviewers noted that the game’s mechanics, including fist person perspective and detailed flight simulation, had a lot in common with the cult-classic X-Wing series, considered to be some of the best titles set in the world of Star Wars.
