"Bundles" are available of three characters at a time too.Įach character can also be bought as a "permanent" upgrade, enabling you to use them once on every level. 10, 30 or 100 Jar Jar Binks will cost you 70, 130 or 250 coins respectively, but Darth Vader will cost you 800, 1,500 or 2,000 coins for the same quantities. The characters are sold in finite quantities depending on their abilities. You earn coins for hitting different achievements in Angry Birds Star Wars II, which can then be spent on buying different birds and pigs ready to be swapped in to levels whenever you like – although you can only use pigs on Pork Side levels and birds on Bird Side levels. We'll take them separately, starting with the game's in-app character store and its system of virtual coins comes in.Ĭharacters are sold in the Angry Birds Star Wars II in-app store Store Wars
You don't, however, have to use those characters, which is where in-app purchases and the Telepods toys come in. The characters provide variety though: with more to use, there are more attacks to master, and it's clear that each level has been designed around the specific characters you're provided with to beat it. The gameplay isn't hugely different from previous versions in its broad strokes: catapult the birds/pigs with a gesture, and repeat until you've destroyed all the enemies on a level. You'll need 20 stars on each Bird Side chapter to unlock its Pork Side version, but thereafter, their main role is for completion addicts. You earn points in each level, and are graded with one, two or three stars for completing it – a familiar mechanic to Angry Birds fans. So that's 120 levels at launch, with more chapters to be added in the future. If you hit certain points targets with each character, you unlock their own level in the Reward Chapter: 18 for the birds and 14 for the pigs. The first two are split between Bird Side and Pork Side levels – 22 for each side, so 88 levels in total across the two chapters. This time round, you can fling pigs at birds Levelling upĪt launch, there are three sections: Naboo Invasion, Escape to Tatooine and Reward Chapter. Wait: the bad characters (portrayed as pigs) have attack moves? That's one of the new features in Angry Birds Star Wars II: you can play as the pigs and splat birds, rather than just the other way around. Each character has their own attack move, from light sabres, lasers and The Force through to Yoda's ability to ricochet around scenery or Jar Jar's swinging rope tricks. The likes of Chewbacca, R2-D2 and several versions of Luke Skywalker (Pilot Luke, Endor Luke and Jedi Luke) rub shoulders with Darth Vader, Storm Troopers and Boba Fett from the original Star Wars trilogy.īut newer characters also feature: Anakin, Mace Windu, Darth Maul and yes, Jar Jar Binks. There will also be the now-customary merchandise, and an official book from National Geographic.Īs before, the game takes the familiar bird-slinging action of Angry Birds into the Star Wars universe, with the birds and enemy pig characters based on characters from the latter.
It's also developer Rovio's most ambitious title yet, taking inspiration from Activision's Skylanders with a range of physical toys – Telepods – designed to work with the game.
