THE FUSE

Let’s just get this out of the way right at the beginning. Yes, EA and Bit Reactor’s new tactical Star Wars game, Star Wars Zero Company, plays and looks a lot like a modern XCOM game. It’s impossible to ignore the similarities, and considering the studio was founded by XCOM art director Greg Foertsch, it isn’t a mistake. There’s no debate about it: This is a team building an XCOM game but set in the Star Wars universe.
