News - Star Wars Zero Company Is Missing The Only Achievement I Wanted
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/star-wars-zero-company/" data-type="games" data-id="615090">Star Wars Zero Company</a> released late last month, and it became one of my favorite games of the year almost instantly. I recently finished it, and while I was very satisfied with how it all wrapped up, there was one thing--a certain achievement--that was missing, and it filled me with a rage I can only satiate by complaining about it online. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You see, like the XCOM series it took so much inspiration from, Star Wars Zero Company features a permadeath mechanic. With the exception of main protagonist Hawks, any of the allies you take into battle will permanently disappear if they're killed in battle. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aside from accidentally knocking someone off the side of the map because I was still going through the tutorial segments in the first hour or so (I restarted the mission in this case), I managed to get through the entire game without losing anyone. Well, except for the poor fellow who automatically dies in the opening segment. The credits rolled and I waited for the achievement to pop up on my Xbox. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Indeed. There are achievements for everyone from making an almost-impossible shot to changing some cosmetic items, but there is no achievement for making it through the game without losing a squad member. There <em>is</em>, however, an achievement for having a squad member die on your watch. If you're on PlayStation, it's a literal participation trophy. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I'm not actually a big achievement guy, and this isn't that big of a deal--I'm much more interested in making sure the team at <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-wars-zero-company-developers-were-furloughed-before-the-game-even-released/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-wars-zero-company-developers-were-furloughed-before-the-game-even-released/">Bit Reactor gets paid</a> so it can continue making <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/star-wars-zero-company-review/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/star-wars-zero-company-review/">amazing turn-based tactics games like Zero Company</a>. But if you make a sequel, please give me my reward. </p>
