Professional reviews from gaming critics
Star Wars: Hunters does a great job of creating fast paced matches with unique and balanced characters. Each level is well thought out and keeps the games moving at a steady pace. The game modes, while straightforward, are interesting and full of detail for Star Wars fans. If you like Star Wars, you’ll love this free game with new characters and plenty of explosions.
Star Wars Hunters is a surprisingly fun hero shooter wrapped around a somewhat aggressive live-service model. The shooting dynamics are great and the levels are filled with some nice Star Wars fanservice.
Hero shooters. Even though they are so ubiquitous in today’s gaming landscape, it wouldn’t be a hyperbole to say that about 80 to 90% of them end up being massive flops a few weeks after being released. With the exception of Overwatch, Apex Legends and Valorant, you rarely see one of those managing to amass a big following. That being said, the premise behind Star Wars: Hunters was, at the very least, bold. A Star Wars-themed hero shooter? In theory, this could have worked.
Combining the Star Wars franchise with arena shooter gameplay is an interesting idea. But the result in Star Wars: Hunters does not end up turning a great experience to play. Even the biggest fans of arena shooters will be disappointed by the poor execution of many things.
