Death Star Story

Description
CressAlbane is back with the latest release of his Death Star Story mod/map. It features a slightly edited Death Star map, and an edited GCW era with several heroes set against an army of Imperial troopers.

Much like the previous versions, the map is set on the Death Star. Using the shipped map, the author has performed some slight edits like removing bridges, disabling the panels that control some things, and a couple of objects placed throughout the map. The map itself is not the focus of the entire package, and it serves well enough as a battleground for the heroes and troopers.

The focus of the entire package is on the sides that the author has created. These consist of the Death Star heroes from A New Hope fighting against an assortment of stormtroopers. Luke, Han, Leia, and Chewbacca are on the heroes side, with Obi-wan Kenobi as the unlockable hero unit. They are very powerful units, and there are a lot of them on the battlefield. This leads to nearly certain death if you are not playing on the Rebel side, since the weapons that the stormtroopers have are not enough to kill as quickly as the heroes can kill them. While the stormtroopers feature a nice array of diversity in their units, they are simply too weak to put up any sort of decent fight against the heroes. I suppose this is movie-accurate, but it doesn't make for great gameplay if you are playing as the Imperials.

Despite the balance issues, this is still a fun map to play, and is a welcome change of pace from the huge amount of clone-centric mods that seem to be released these days. Give it a download if the screenshots look interesting or you liked the previous versions.
