Overall, I was expecting a classic Monopoly with a generic Star Wars theme slapped onto it. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The game breaks its own classic conventions and adds teamplay, the chance to challenge enemy locations in an assertive way, by adding a competitive dice game into the mix. All of this and the added Star Wars GO-events are dynamic and really change the way the game is played. Furthermore, the abilities and how you balance them in your team will decide if you either win or lose with your favorite team. The UI is a bit all over the place in the beginning but after a few games you will see more clearly in this fun game where tactical dice play and classic Monopoly meet the Star Wars family!
While excelling in some parts with lots of customization and unlockables and great sound design, the game’s UI and in-menu storytelling reveal its mobile origin. You’ll spend quite some time racing, breeding perfect foals, and upgrading your homestead. But you’ll spend an equal amount in tedious stylised menus. If you’re really into equestrian games and able to look over its shortcomings, you’ll be able to see this as a cosy game with lots of upgrades and unlocks if you’re willing to spend the time.
