10 Video Games That MUST Influence EA's Star Wars
2. XCOM
A major element of Star Wars that gets fans excited is seeing the large scale conflicts between its massive armies. After all, it is called Star Wars for a reason.
Some previous games, like Empire at War and Galactic Battlegrounds, have let players take command of these armies and fight across multiple worlds.
There is something very alluring about a Star Wars game like this, and its easy to see why. The Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War both serve as the perfect backdrop for a game focused on military tactics, and the X-COM series would be an amazing example to follow for any future game.
The turn based, tactical role-playing game allows you to command squadrons in battle against alien forces. It also allows you to manage your base of operations as you decide what projects to research and how best to spend your limited resources. Permadeath also creates a sense of fear and tension, as your commands could lead to you losing your favourite soldiers forever.
EA would be nuts to reject the idea of allowing gamers to take up the role of Leia Organa or Admiral Ackbar as they lead their troops into battle.
