Challenging, addictive and extremely fun. Those are the first thoughts that come to my mind when playing Mandalorian: Ashes of The Empire, a roguelike game that has put me on my limits as a player. Either if you like Star Wars or are into this game genre, it is worth a try... or better said, multiple ones!

Thinking that this game has been made by students, in just one semester, makes me really want to see what the future of videogames holds for us. Not only is it very polished, there are very well cared details, but it also has some very fun and interesting mechanics. Keep up the good work, you're gonna go far!

Mandalorian: Ashes of The Empire, it's like that shot of Spotchka that you drink in the Cantina while your ears delight with the song that is playing in the background: simply pleasant and perfect. Frantic and addictive. The setting, the different scenarios and the challenge it entails; all these details and more are lovingly cared for by a team with passion and professionalism.
