Would be better with DLC

Pretty good, but would be better with DLC. One thing to keep in mind is that you can’t really sandbox as the rebels on the largest map. The game ends after the death star is built (and possibly destroyed), so the clock is ticking. Thus, in the largest campaign, you can’t ever get more than a few of the highest end units, the game ends too soon. This is a little rough for those of us who like to take our time in a long campaign.

One minor annoyance, saving the game takes ages (even with an SSD and a fast computer), and the thing auto-saves before every battle. Expect a lot of 10 second pauses because of this, they add up to mild annoyance. Also, some of the loading is pretty slow. Again, this is true even with a fast SSD, so it basically just a bug, no reason it should take so long.

Solid game, with some rough edges.
