YOU NEED A PHYSICAL COPY TO PLAY. I just thought I'd clear that up, this is a companion app to "Star Wars: Imperial Assault" the boardgame. Currently there are (3) 5 mission campaigns that allow your characters to progress from heroes to almost unstoppable killing machines. The missions are fun and last about 3 hours each while running the app and the in-between mission briefs/short stories and clean up purchasing new items and equipment. It allows complete 4 player Co-op, the only way i play.

Great companion app! Everyone would like more content, but that should only be a positive for a FREE download! Almost all the 3-star or less reviews come from people who don't understand what this is. You could give them a free car, and they would complain it's not a house. I have had a blast playing this board game, and adding expansion pack DLC for free as I purchase physical copies.

The app works as intended. I have been able to play multiple games now and so far its been great. The AI system isn't always the best but it usually makes up for it by giving itself bonuses. It provides a good challenge for new players like myself. My main complaint is there is no undo button in the app. Sometimes this is an issue (for instance we once had an objective die and we forgot to mark it before we ended an activation which meant we couldn't delete the token for the game to know)

This app has breathed new life into imperial assault for me. Always wanted a "true" coop mode. I was extremely sceptical when I read that the app doesn't directly control individual units but I understand why they did it like that and I have to admit it works a lot better than I expected. The one thing that I found really lacking in campaign imperial assault was the storytelling. This also seems to have improved a lot, but I have only played 3 missions so far... a lot of effort has clearly gone into tweaking all the unit rules to make them work better in the app. There are of course some negatives as well, but are mainly centered around the simplistic control of the imperial units. So even though some tactical elements, like stun, has become weaker, it still has its own interest to play against a more predictable opponent with more units. I'm very happy about the ability to just select what expansions I have and the app will then try to utilize them. I haven't seen a single ad in the app or any "offer" of buying more stuff, but it still makes me want to in a good way so to speak. If you enjoyed the campaign mode but wished for a more coop experience you want to try this!
