Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - EA App EUROPE Digital Key
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for PC is an action adventure game based on the
highly popular long-running move franchise of the same name. This game fits into
the timeline just after the third episode of the film series (Revenge of the
Sith) and features a familiar cast of heroes, villains, androids and Jedi, all
vying for success in their missions.
ABOUT THE GAME
A young Jedi apprentice (Padawan) has been forces to go on the run from the
Galactic Empire, following Order 66, a galaxy wide purge of the Jedi Order. An
accident occurs and Cal, the young Jedi’s real self is uncovered when he uses
the force to save the life of his friend. Following the adage that no good deed
goes unpunished, word quickly spreads to the Empire’s minions who set out in hot
pursuit, determined to catch the last few Jedi.
Cal’s mission is to find a place of safety, while avoiding capture by the
Empire. On the way, he will meet many faces instantly recognisable to fans of
the film franchise, including Saw Gerrera (ably voiced by Forrest Whittaker) and
Cere (voiced by the wonderful Debra Wilson) and be given information and advice
that will help him to achieve his goals.
LINEAR OR NOT?
The game is not an open world game in which you are free to explore however and
wherever you like. Instead, you have a game map and a mission to complete, but
you do not just have one progress front at any one time. Instead, you can hop
into your spaceship and travel to any of the unlocked areas in the map – these
will obviously widen the more you play – and continue with your mission in that
area until you, perhaps, find yourself struggling.
Then it is a simple matter to jump back into your ship, and pop off to another
planet or a different area to power up and build the skills you are currently
lacking while you solve easier (or perhaps just differently arranged) missions
before heading back to try again when it suits you. So, a sort of
open-linear-hybrid world that offers some freedom and some direction to the
players.
ADVICE FOR NEW PLAYERS
Keep an eye on progress of skill trees – some areas of the game need you to have
a certain skill before you can move on
Look for secondary and secret ways to progress around obstacles before
committing to going through them. Sometimes you can sneak into caves or find
hidden pathways that will lead you safely past a group of storm-troopers or
other enemies
Some areas have ‘soft spots’ where Cal can tap into the force and receive Jedi
wisdom. These spot are called Force Echoes, and they are always worth finding
Combat is less a matter of repeated urgent button presses and more a case for
finesse, timing and precision. Make sure you master all your weaponry properly,
charging out yelling and trying to bludgeon your way through the enemy is a
certain way to sudden death
Cal is accompanied by his trusty companion, a droid called BD-1 (Buddy #1,
perhaps?) who follows Cal, warns him of danger and provides healing packs
whenever they are needed. He chunters around, providing running commentary,
uncovering secret entries and generally providing Cal with someone to talk to
