Advantage-driven, round-based tactical fights

The trailer focuses on the game’s round-based tactical encounters and highlights the “Advantage” system as the main driver of combat momentum. During a fight, players can create advantages and accumulate them, then convert that stored Advantage into major Ultimate attacks.

Crucially, Advantage is shared across the team rather than held by individuals. That means the developers frame combat as a timing challenge: the group needs to decide when to cash in the accumulated Advantage for the strongest impact.

On top of the Advantage economy, every character enters each round with three action points. Those action points can be spent on different abilities, giving players choices about how to approach each turn within the tactical grid.

Build the squad, then lead the missions

Beyond in-fight decisions, the trailer also emphasizes that the composition of your party matters. Characters can be customized in both appearance and playstyle, with the goal of enabling many different combinations and team synergies.

However, the game also allows for unconventional pairings. Even if certain characters don’t naturally work well together, the player can still field them—such as taking on missions as Commander Hawks while managing a group that may be mismatched.

Operations, resources, and base expansion

Outside of battles, Star Wars: Zero Company includes operations where players pursue resources. Those resources are used to develop the player’s base.

As the base improves, upgrades unlock new features and expand what the team can do, adding a persistent progression layer to the tactical combat loop.
