The game is called Star Wars Deathtroopers and is loosely based on a book of the same name. In the game, you infiltrate an abandoned Star Destroyer in space, only to find all the crew and Stormtroopers are dead and have turned into zombies.
While thisisn’t an officialStar Wars game and is purely made by a fan on Unreal Engine, the game does come with its own set of unique features.
Your goal is to use your E-11 blaster to escape the infestation in a race against time and eliminate zombies. Here’s how you can play Deathtroopers.
