Test Chamber – Star Wars: Uprising
With the Star Wars hype machine in full swing as the release of The Force Awakens creeps ever closer, a new mobile game has hit the App Store and Google Play. Star Wars: Uprising is a dungeon crawler-like game set in the Star Wars universe that draws inspiration from games like Diablo. Players can go on missions, extract as much loot as possible, and equip different items to their character. If you don't like the default blaster weapon, you can even change the style of attack your character uses.
Uprising is free-to-play, but as we find out, that doesn't always spell intrusive microtransactions and rapidly-depleting stamina bars. If you do want to spend some money, however, you are able drop a few dollars to pass by some of the grinding. Check out the episode below for more on the free-to-play model the game employs as well as how it feels in action.
Star Wars: Uprising is out now on iOS and Android devices.
