Star Wars Zero Company forces you into permadeath so you can see "what's on the other side of the experience"

When you're darkly aware more than half the fanbase are illiterate to the forewarning Star Wars was always about.

Interesting reasoning. I think they could have made it optional, but I suppose they're balancing the whole game around it, so maybe it would have made a non-permadeath playthrough too easy/unbalanced.

There's always save scumming I'm sure

I just want to say that the screenshots for this game honestly look amazing, and this might be the first game to get me interested in tactical RPGs.
