The new game follows in the footsteps of the Angry Birds: Star Wars games. Like Angry Birds, Tiny Death Star is a simple, fun experience that’s perfect for mobile. It’s made so you can play a in short sessions, on the bus or what have you. But where Angry Birds: Star Wars uses a cartoon style, Star Wars: Tiny Death Star is delightfully retro with an 8-bit style reminiscent of the NES.
Darth Vader tasks you with the management of the Death Star, not as a Grand Mof but as a landlord. You’ll micro-manage the growth of the Death Star, as folks come and go from a space elevator along the side of the growing space station. You’ll be in charge of building secret levels that serve different function towards crushing the Rebellion, all the while maintaining vibrant business districts up top!
It’s weird but trust us, it’s fun. The game is free to play, and you can grab a download at the Google Play Store. For more information, check out the description below!
