Details On Star Wars Battlefront Companion App

EA have announced some details on their new Star Wars Battlefront Companion app which will be available on web and in the Apple App Store and Google Play store prior to the release of Star Wars Battlefront on November 17.   And it will also be available during the Beta next weekend.

Part of the game will see you facing off against an AI opponent in turn-based “Sieges,” your goal is to protect a Rebel base against waves of Imperial starships, troopers, and other units closing in on you turn by turn.

To help you survive the Imperial onslaught and defeat all the enemy troops, you have a customizable deck of Star Cards based on the iconic vehicles, weapons, and Power-ups in Star Wars Battlefront. Among these cards you’ll find Rebel soldiers, X-wings, Thermal Imploders, and even heroes such as Luke Skywalker. These powerful assets can be used to boost your own units or attack the enemy.
Base Command is a fun and accessible way to bring your Star Wars Battlefront Star Cards into

Base Command has a strong connection to Star Wars Battlefront. Survive the Sieges and you’ll earn in-game credits, which in turn can be used to unlock Star Cards, weapons, and more in Star Wars Battlefront. Reversely, Star Cards earned in Star Wars Battlefront will automatically be available in Base Command.

EA continued to explain:

“There’s this great symbiosis between the two experiences,” Rydling notes. “If you progress in Star Wars Battlefront it will help you in Base Command, and vice versa. And it doesn´t matter if you use earned credits for your Star Cards in the Companion or directly through Star Wars Battlefront, they’ll  automatically and immediately be available in both experiences.”

EA have said that there are no micro transactions in Base Command, we items will be use Galactic Credits which can be won within the App or game.

The companion app also lets you stay connected to Star Wars Battlefront in several ways such as finding out the latest news, find out if a friend is online and compare stats.
