Defying the Empire: Star Wars Outlaws
 |
| Star Wars Outlaw |
Star Wars Outlaws game single-player RPG takes place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, offering a fresh perspective on a galaxy far, far away.
Meet Kay Vess: The Scoundrel with a Score to Settle
Our protagonist, Kay Vess, isn’t your typical hero. She’s a scoundrel, a smuggler, and a master of survival. Her dream? To land a score that will grant her freedom and a place in the galaxy. But when a heist goes awry, Kay finds herself unexpectedly thrust into the underworld, becoming one of the galaxy’s most wanted. Her journey takes her through crime syndicates, treacherous negotiations, and dangerous missions.
Navigating the Underworld: Reputation Matters
In Star Wars Outlaws, dialogue choices impact your experience. Kay’s reputation with criminal organizations like the Pyke Syndicate, the Hutt Cartel, and Crimson Dawn plays a crucial role. Play nice, and you’ll gain territory and cool missions. Cross them, and their bounty hunters will be on your tail. It’s a delicate dance, and every decision matters.
The Empire Takes a Back Seat
What sets Star Wars Outlaws apart is its focus on the underworld. Kay hasn’t formed strong opinions about the Empire or the Rebellion. To her, they’re just obstacles in her way. Stormtroopers are sterile; bounty hunters, scoundrels, and weird aliens are colorful and interesting. It’s refreshing to see the Empire take a back seat, allowing other facets of the Star Wars universe to shine.
Gameplay: From Cantinas to Space Dogfights
As I explored bustling cities, cantinas, and iconic planets like Tatooine and Canto Bight, I felt immersed in the Star Wars lore. Kay’s speeder allowed me to race across sprawling landscapes, while her ship, the Trailblazer, engaged in thrilling dogfights with the Empire. The game’s branching dialogue system kept me engaged, and the promise of uncovering the whereabouts of Han Solo added an extra layer of excitement.
