Another Tatooine
Pros & Cons:
Although sandy dune settings are a common occurrence in theStar Warsworld, the Dune Sea Outpost is a relatively forgettable map. Most of the map is focused around a circular center arena, which is where players will find most of their opponents. Outside here, there are a few sandy paths leading inside, but there isn’t much to look at.
Along with this, many players will find it difficult to find significant cover, as most of the map is open without many blockades to hide behind. Most of the map feels like just another repeat of a map from a previous game without much additional creativity. Overall, the Dune Sea Outpost is quite insignificant, without anything new to peak player interest. The most fans will get out of it is if theytake it on with their friends.
For Phantom Menace Fans
Podracing is a popular sport in theStar Warsworld, and it appears heavily in The Phantom Menace film. Fans of this movie will particularly enjoy the Mos Espa Podrace map, complete with actualpodracerswho have the ability to take players out. So, this map certainly has some of the most interesting obstacles in the game to keep things interesting inany game mode.
However, the Mos Espa Podrace map falls a bit short otherwise, with a similar structure to that of Dune Sea Outpost. There is a circular center that practically every player will bolt to, without much else content to look at in the surrounding areas. Most of the area is littered with junk, without much else visual appeal. Although this location is relatively easy to navigate, making it a quick path to health and energy recovery stations, it won’t do much else to keep players engaged.
Cute But Lacking
Ewoks are adorable, furry creatures frequently appearing in theStar Warsuniverse, and their presence inStar Wars: Huntershas led to a calm and peaceful forest map, the Ewok Village. Players will feel the Endor atmosphere here, surrounded by an abundance of trees and beautiful greenery. The forests are certainly inviting to many.
Ewok Village also offers a lot ofmobility, even for those who aren’tplaying as Imara Vex, who has the ability to grapple onto ledges. Players will be able to easily bolt out of an area if their health gets dangerously low, meaning battles in Ewok Village will most likely be much longer as it will take more time to take out an enemy. The only issue with this map is that it can feel a bit empty due to the very minimal amount of blockades and props.
A Colorful Delight
This fresh neon city is one of the newest maps to be introduced toStar Wars: Hunters, and is certainly a welcome addition. The beautiful location is covered in brightly-lit signs, small stores, and colorful graffiti. Vespaara Row will drop players right into a cyberpunk world reminiscent of the nightlife and overall atmosphere of the massive city of Coruscant.
Though the atmosphere is certainly visually engaging, this can make it difficult to focus on the battle at hand. When playing in Vespaara Row, it’s understandable to get lost in the colorful city and lose track of enemies. Players will also find it difficult to take on their opponent since most of the battles will be at close quarters, which can begreat forRieveplayers. This could be a positive for some, however, as it leads to engaging and difficult encounters.
A Structured Battleground
Death Star Crossfire is a true ode toStar Warsand its popular films, with the well-known setting of the Death Star. Sprawled throughout this map, fans will find crashed and broken-down TIE Fighters, the spacecraft of choice for Darth Vader, with torn floors and an overall gutted atmosphere. Players can tell that a major battle occurred just before they approach this arena as they are surrounded by the red and fiery setting.
Not only does this map have aesthetically-pleasing surroundings, but its gameplay is also enjoyable and will give players a rush of adrenaline. Many will find themselves quickly swapping betweenlevels, avoiding damage from enemies while simultaneously taking out others from the high-ground. It will keep players engaged until the last second, constantly requiring movement to stay in the game, which can be difficult forslow tank characters.
A Winter Wonderland
Although this map has an atmosphere that might not be as recognizable to fans as Death Star Crossfire or the Dune Sea Outpost, it holds its own weight due to its fantastic versatility and multitude of levels that players can change between to get the high-ground on enemies. This means players will find themselves moving around through open areas almost throughout the entire match, allowing for engaging and difficult combat andmore chances to earn credits.
In Vandor Railyard, players will also need to avoid amoving train, similar to the podracers in Mos Espa Podrace. There are floating platforms that can be jumped across here as well, allowing players to hide and take out enemies without being detected. Not to mention the snowy surroundings that will add to the appeal, with an industrial aesthetic to tie everything together. Fans will love this map and will be locked into their battles.
