Player reception
Star Wars Zero Company
Bit Reactor’s Clone Wars tactics game wins players over with its squad and its story, while its missions repeat and PC performance holds some back.
In short
As of 12 October, 83% of 22,109 player reviews recommend it. Players stay for the Clone Wars story, the squad and the voice acting, and enjoy fights built on ability combos. By the midpoint many find the missions and enemies repeating and the upgrades thin, and frame rates on PC disappoint even on strong hardware. Star Wars fans who want a story-led squad game get the most from it, and players after deep tactics or replay value can skip it.

Read in full
We read every one of these reviews on 10 October 2026 and judged each by what it says.
- The squad and the story keep players going.
- The Clone Wars setting, the operatives and their voice acting earn the most praise, and some players push through weaker stretches to see the story out. The main villain and the ending draw the sharpest complaints.62
- The fights are inventive, and the missions repeat.
- Players find ability combos make fights faster and livelier than in most squad tactics games. By the midpoint the same mission types and enemies keep returning, and that’s where many lose interest.62
- Upgrades feel thin.
- Players like dressing up their squad but find most upgrades are small stat bonuses, and new weapons and armour change little in a fight.62
- PC performance holds some players back.
- Players on capable PCs report frame rates near 60 and stutter in cutscenes. Crash reports came in the first two weeks and are absent from the latest reviews, which followed the 1.1 patch.6264
- News about the studio shaped some verdicts.
- Many of the most helpful reviews raise reports that most of Bit Reactor’s team was furloughed before launch. Some won’t buy because of it, and others argue that sales help the staff. The latest reviews rarely mention it.62
- Many find it easy.
- Players say the squad rarely faces real danger even on the higher settings, while others find Expert hard. Which operatives a player recruits seems to decide it.62
