Star Wars: Squadrons puts players in the shoes of a pilot for the Empire and the New Republic, offering players the chance to live out their fantasies of being an ace pilot in the Star Wars universe. With multiplayer and single-player modes, fans are beginning to wonder how many missions Star Wars: Squadrons contains. Luckily, there is a decent number.
Players will be able to fly their way through 14 missions in Star Wars: Squadrons, plus a prologue that serves as the tutorial for the game. The missions pivot between the Imperial point of view and the New Republic point of view, offering different sides of the conflict. In total, it should take players around 8-10 hours to complete the campaign, once all is said and done.
It is worth noting that players have the opportunity to customize their loadouts throughout Squadrons' campaign, which does lend it some additional replay value. Additionally, a much larger emphasis seems to be put on the game's multiplayer modes, offering more customization and items to unlock it what is essentially infinitely replayable matches, assuming that Squadrons is able to maintain an active player base. The missions, in order, are:
- Prologue
- Form the Vanguard
- The Skies of Yavin
- Through Enemy Lines
- Secrets and Spies
- The Trail From Desevro
- Signal to Noise
- Into the Abyss
- Fractured Alliance
- Chaos at Mon Cala
- Terisa’s Vengeance
- Nowhere to Stand
- Rally the New Republic
- Fire in the Heart
- The Last Flight of the Starhawk
Star Wars: Squadrons isn't full price, either, so it stands to reason that the campaign isn't a massive experience, though 14 missions is still a respectable number, so it certainly isn't a small game either. There are some rough edges that fans have pointed out, like the point-and-click style navigation while outside of ships, though the focus here is definitely on the space combat, and not the time spent in the hangar.
Star Wars: Squadrons reviews have been mostly positive, though many admit that it isn't for everyone. The game can be enhanced with the right setup – supporting VR and flight sticks – though the base experience is still completely serviceable. The true indicator of the game's success will be how it performs in the coming months, when bigger games release and next-gen consoles are available to the masses. If EA continues to support it, fans could find themselves with a long time space sim to blast their ways through.
Star Wars: Squadrons is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
