Wanting to perhaps hit hardest before launch, Electronic Arts kept Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order under wraps, so we saw surprisingly little action gameplay. That all changed earlier this week when the foreign press and influential media were invited to Anaheim to try out the project for themselves. They were invited to visit several planets, including Dathomir from the expanded universe.
Gameplay capture was not allowed, but Electronic Arts provided some staged footage, which you can see below. These include the passage of Zepho, one of the earliest planets, a duel with the AT-ST, and a battle with the Ninth Sister, a major villain that has piqued the interest of Star Wars fans. It turned out that the complexity of the battles is one of the strongest elements of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
Developer Respawn Entertainment clearly drew inspiration from Metroid Prime 3 and Dark Souls. According to USgamer journalist Kat Bailey (Kat Bailey), Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order feels like a mixture of these two games. The combat system, however, is most comparable to , "demonstrating the beauty and grace of the lightsaber in a way that no game has ever done before." Despite this, in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order it will be much smarter to retreat, dodge, parry, and generally think tactically. More difficult enemies, such as the Nightbrothers, can become invulnerable during the fight and block your attack, and then hit very hard. The battles of the upcoming action also reminded the journalist last year.
Interestingly, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order also contains elements of FromSoftware games such as bonfires - meditation circles. In them you can relax, replenish your strength and upgrade your skills. But when you interact with the circle, all the enemies in the location come to life again.
Something else reminded Kat of God of War: the passage of puzzles. A lot of them. Some of the puzzles feel overly contrived, like "use force to stop the giant piston so you can skip." At some point, you have to fiddle with the wind generators to get a giant boulder and roll it to the designated location. “That was the only time I really wanted to stop playing,” said Kat Bailey.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order launches on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on November 15th.
