With “Star Wars: The Acolyte” taking the franchise in a darker direction, this begs the question: where are the Star Wars horror games? While it’s not an official game, developer Stefano Cagnani (who also created his own game based off of Eli Roth‘s Thanksgiving) has given us a taste of what could be a cool idea for Star Wars in the horror sense with Star Wars: Deathtroopers, which sees you battling waves of zombie Stormtroopers.
Available on itch.io and powered by Unreal Engine 5, Star Wars: Deathtroopers is an episodic game that casts you as a lone Stormtrooper, with you having to shoot your way through your now-zombified comrades. The first episode takes place in a Star Destroyer, whereas the second episode is on Endor. In the latter, you end up crashing into Endor, where you’ll find no refuge from the zombie virus, which has already spread throughout much of the Outer Rim of the known galaxy.
Seeking help, you happen upon a seemingly abandoned old resistance outpost. Enlisting the help of your faithful but damaged droid DD5, you must find a means of communication to call for help. Of course, once you manage to find a way, all hell breaks loose.
Now while this seems cool and all, seeing as Disney is a bit of a stickler when it comes to copyright, there’s no telling how long Star Wars: Deathtroopers will stay up, so you’ll have to grab it quick. However, it does give a glimpse into just how Star Wars could dip its toe into horror, which would be a welcome sight.
Thanks to DSOGaming for spotting this.
