Additional controls

Aside from those basic controls, players will be able to live out their Jedi fantasies by being able to have complete control of the force and their weapons. There will now be five different combat stances to unlock through the game as your primary and secondary. These include the following stances:

  • Single
  • Double-bladed
  • Dual-wield
  • Crossguard
  • Blaster

Cal will also be able to perform blaster and lightsaber combos, wielding one in each hand to battle enemies in unique ways. This gives players more combat options that are fun to play around with. These different stances will also help in battling specific types of enemies wherein players will figure out which combinations are best suited to particular foes.
