Gameplay: Smooth Sailing

The game's campaign takes place after The Return of the Jedi. It takes about eight hours to get through but is well worth the time if you plan on playing competitively. Campaign missions teach you the basics (and nuances) of flight for all types of starships. Switch between playing as two pilots. One is part of the Rebels while the other is a loyal member of the Empire.

Campaign mode features elaborate HUD in some of the most beloved fighter cockpits. Meanwhile, multiplayer offers slimmed-down options focused on keeping critical information handy.

Meanwhile, multiplayer puts players on squadrons with others from across the globe. Team up together in one of two modes: dogfights and fleet battles. The first is fast-paced deathmatch style PvP. Fleet battles, however, take longer, pitting 5v5 squads against one another in extended fights to destroy the other team's flagships on massive battlefields.

Campaign mode features elaborate HUD in some of the most beloved fighter cockpits. Meanwhile, multiplayer offers slimmed-down options focused on keeping critical information handy. It's a small but clever distinction between the two, 5/5 modes that make them feel different.
