Star Wars Zero Company review
Eurogamer has published a review of Star Wars Zero Company, a game developed by Bit Reactor. The review highlights a notable connection between the game’s narrative and its production challenges. The story follows an eponymous crew facing financial hardship and circumstantial setbacks while struggling to complete their mission—a parallel the reviewer draws to the developers themselves.
Bit Reactor’s team faced significant disruptions during development, including a month-long furlough period shortly before the game’s release. Despite these obstacles, the studio completed and shipped the title. The review notes that these turbulent development conditions are evident in the final product, which the reviewer describes as showing signs of haste in its construction. The game is characterized as feeling “patched together” and “under-ready” in places, with the reviewer comparing it to a hastily repaired spacecraft launched by an opportunistic pilot.
Despite these rough edges, the reviewer’s tone suggests affection for the project, indicating the game maintains appeal despite its imperfections. The full review appears to explore how Bit Reactor’s struggles during crunch development affected the game’s polish and presentation.
