There’s a surprising amount of strategy in every match despite lasting only two and a half minutes. Making sure you use your ATB wisely by placing units in the right place at the right time and deciding if it’s worth building a tower or just attacking head on. That’s the basic gist of how the game plays, and it can be a lot of fun. You need to keep these strengths and weaknesses in mind when building your deck. Each unit is good at one thing and bad at another, for example the porgs you can use on the LIght side have strength in numbers but die very easily making them great at taking out more tanky units that only attack towers. You place units by dragging their card from the bottom of the screen into the field of play, up to a line representing how much of the battlefield you control with towers. As your bar at the bottom of the screen fills up over time, you can spend segments of the bar to place units or build a tower.Įvery unit costs a different amount of ATB (since we’re still using the Final Fantasy analogy) with more powerful ones, such as champions, costing more. In the event of a tie, the game goes into overtime with the player who takes advantage first being declared the winner. There are two buildable towers on each side with a fifth in the center, if neither base is destroyed when time runs out whoever has the most towers wins. Two players are situated at opposite ends of a vertical board with the goal of destroying your opponent’s base. Does this mobile tower defense bring back the magic?Īs I said in my preview, if you’ve played Final Fantasy VII Remake’s Fort Condor minigame you’ll feel right at home here. LEGO Star Wars Battles is shaking things up quite a bit, diving into a completely new genre while retaining the charm of the originals. I greatly enjoyed the first two, but the formula stopped appealing to me after it became a bit too oversaturated.

It’s been a long time since I played a LEGO Star Wars game.
