Star Wars Arcade - Team Tactics is one of those quick, bite-sized strategy games where you're basically running Rebel ops against the Empire. You pick your squad—I went with a mix of blaster-wielders and Jedi at first, which worked until I hit a mission where stealth actually mattered. Whoops.

The missions are short but surprisingly tactical—you're moving units on a grid, flanking stormtroopers, and trying not to get force-choked by Vader when he shows up. The arcade tokens you earn feel satisfying to spend, though I wish there were more ways to customize your team between runs. Still, it nails that scrappy Rebel underdog vibe.

If you're into turn-based tactics but don't want a 50-hour commitment, this one's a solid distraction between bigger games.
