Star Wars: Rivals

About

Star Wars Rivals is a mobile shooter that lets you pick characters from across the galaxy’s history and duke it out in real time. You control a team of three, swapping between them mid-fight to use their special skills and gadgets. The action happens on iconic locations like Jakku and Bespin, with cover-based combat that leans into touch-screen aiming and quick reflexes. Single-player missions offer story scenarios and boss fights, but the heart is head-to-head battles where you clash with other players across iOS and Android. The game stands out for its cross-platform PvP and deep character progression. Each hero has distinct abilities and upgrades, letting you tweak tactics for different opponents. Leaderboards and daily challenges add replay value, though some players note a steep learning curve. With over 20 characters available and frequent updates in 2017, it appealed to fans looking for fast Star Wars brawls on the go. The mobile controls aren’t perfect but work well for short bursts of competitive shooting.
