Play the original Star Wars game on a modern device

STAR WARS™ - X-Wing Special Edition is a special release of the classic action game ofthe same name with the inclusion of all Tour of Duty expansions. In this retro space simulation game, players are transported into the heart of the galactic conflict between the Empire and the burgeoning Rebel Alliance.

As a Starfighter pilot, your role is instrumental in the struggle against tyranny, and the game does a masterful job of creating an immersive experience. With this, STAR WARS™ - X-Wing Special Edition allows fans of the iconic Star Wars franchise to relive old memories, even on newer devices.

Prepare for a challenge

The narrative of STAR WARS™ - X-Wing Special Edition is compelling, lending a sense of urgency and purpose to the missions. The game boasts a wealth of content — as already mentioned above — including the original STAR WARS™: X-Wing and all Tour of Duty expansions: Imperial Pursuit and B-Wing. With over 120 deep space andDeath Star surface missions, you're offered a plethora of challenging and engaging combat scenarios.

The combat training, simulating historical encounters with Imperial forces, is a standout feature. It not only offers valuable practice but also enhances the game's authenticity by referencing the classic Star Wars lore. This attention to detail helps the game to be more than just a flight simulator, but a rich experience that fans can fully engage in. Despite its strengths, though, the game has some noticeable cons.

Seeing as this is simply a re-release of the original game in all its glory, you can expect the same graphics and gameplay issues present in the original title to be present in this one, as well. The absence of sensitivity control is also a significant drawback, making course correcting a constant hassle and potentially affecting the immersion and enjoyment of the game.

A treat for any Star Wars enthusiast

STAR WARS™ - X-Wing Special Edition easily combines a rich narrative, detailed gameplay, and a wealth of content with some frustrating technical issues. It's a must-play for Star Wars fans and a fascinating historical piece for gaming enthusiasts. However, some can find the lack of modern updates and technical glitches off-putting. Despite these downsides, it's hard to deny the nostalgic charm and immersive Star Wars experience that this game offers.
