Star Wars Hunters gives fans the Overwatch-style game they deserve

Star Wars Hunters is finally out and it already looks to be a good time for critics and audiences. Released on June 4 for the Nintendo Switch and mobile, early impressions for this arena-based shooter point to another win for the long-running franchise.

Professional critics have managed to get some of their opinions on the game already. Jim Norman of Nintendo Life wrote an 8/10 review praising the game for its originality, gameplay, and performance. “Star Wars: Hunters might not bring anything particularly new to the ever-increasing field of class-based shooters, but there’s a lot of fun to be had here,” Norman wrote. Throne Dowd of Inverse also shared their thoughts on the game by comparing it the most recent Star Wars series The Acolyte (also released on June 4). “With new pieces of fiction like Star Wars: Acolyte and Star Wars: Hunters, it finally feels like we’re returning to creators taking an interest in telling unique stories in this storied universe,” they said.
