Starfighter Assault promises to explore all three trilogies, so it should be interesting to see how these battles unfold when going back to the worlds of Naboo and Coruscant and moving forward to the skies of Takodona. Star Wars Battlefront II has me aching to strap on my helmet again and take to the skies. However, that's a different argument for another day. There were arguments during the first game's release that EA was pulling back on space battles for the sake of loading up a sequel and nothing here seemed to dispel that notion. It was the authentic Star Wars space battles that I had wanted from the Battlefront series, yet it was also one that I could feel the series was capable of since day one, filling me with a sense that EA has been holding back. I got fully immersed in the battle, thanks to the Star Wars soundtrack and the sound of radio chatter filling my headphones. Starfighter Assault is an exercise in both joy and frustration, as I walked away from the demo marveling at the sheer visual beauty of a battlefield filled with beautifully-rendered environments, bright explosions, and intense starfighter battles. While there wasn't much of a radar to work with, objectives were clearly marked and easy to find, making it much easier to focus on the task at hand. Meanwhile, Rebels were tasked with taking out the Imperial shield stations as they started to pierce through the other side's defenses. Larger Y-Wing bombers started arriving on the scene, with the Imperial side tasked with taking them out. The sessions flow smoothly, as different objective wrinkles are introduced over the course of the game. It feels far easier to get legendary ships than it does to get legendary Hero characters in infantry battles and the ships feel far more durable, so it feels like there's only a small window to actually get to pilot these ships. So while I had enough points to grab a legendary craft, the option for each of them was grayed-out since they were all currently in battle. The trouble here is, they're powerful fighters and only one of them can be out at a time. In fact, it wasn't long before Han Solo's Millennium Falcon and Boba Fett's Slave I were flying around and getting in on the action. Players are given points for landing successful hits, blowing up enemy ships, and striking at objectives, with the points able to be redeemed later for legendary craft. The actual combat is classic dogfighting, with ships on both sides flying quickly across the screen, looking to take each other out, while also avoiding any debris that might be floating about. Abilities can also be tweaked and upgraded through the same star card system used during infantry battles, offering a nice sense of variety. Certain skills are better for going on the offensive, like the bombers' multiple heat-seeking missiles, or for defensive purposes, like the TIE Bomber's electric field that disrupts all surrounding tracking systems. Each ship has unique weaponry and abilities that are activated by the bumpers, either hit individually or simultaneously. It feels like a rock-paper-scissors style of matchup, with one ship built for quick dogfighting, another built for slower objective runs, and the classic ships adept at both. The Empire had their choice of the classic TIE Fighter, the speedy TIE Interceptor, or the heavy-hitting TIE Bomber. The Rebels were given their selection of the classic X-Wing fighter, the much-quicker A-Wing, and the powerful Y-Wing bomber. For those who have not played the game yet and wanted to see which were skipped, here is a list of 10 worlds that should have been in Kingdom Hearts 3.Prior to battle, players were given a choice of one of three ships. Unfortunately, the latest installment in the Kingdom Hearts franchise skipped several worlds that players have been expecting to see. The game also visited several worlds in the Disney universe, which included the worlds of Tangled, Frozen, Big Hero 6, and many others. Kingdom Hearts 3 was received with mostly positive reviews, given its stellar story and improved gameplay. While this scenario is still unconfirmed by Square Enix, players will soon find it out for themselves once ReMind releases this Winter. However, the action-packed trailer also appears to hint that Sora is actually revisiting the events shown through time travel. The preview highlighted some important features coming with the DLC such as new combat abilities for several key blade wielders, and new battles to look forward to such as Sora's fight with Xigbar. The latest trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3: ReMind was revealed during the Tokyo Game Show 2019.
