The story of Squadron 42
Squadron 42 will tell the story of the whole universe from Cloud Imperium's titles, including Star Citizen. You don't need to play Squadron 42 before getting into the multiplayer elements of Star Citizen, but it's still worth trying indeed, since its story is very intriguing and give you some inspiration to grind in the other game.
To be more specific, Squadron 42 will take you to the journey of protecting the Earth from the invasion from another planet's civilization - the Vanduul. The developer even refers this invasion to have the same scale as the Visigoths and Vandals invasion back in the time of the Roman Empire.
Stepping on the role of a newly-enlisted of the United Empire of Earth, you'll have to learn about other mates working on the central ship, while making decisions on how to face and get over missions as well as brutal enemies out there.
Gameplay features
Overall, Squadron 42 is a single-player narrative game with a mixture of RPG and adventure elements. Stepping in the role of a crew member in the capital vessels you'll learn about the story-driven campaign through a system of missions and interacting with other people there. They'll open up the story of the Earth Navy, as well as the mystery behind the Vanduul.
Apart from the interaction, you can also dive into the new level of combat in Squadron 42, which brings you from the most extensive space conflicts to back to the ground of the spaceship. We haven't known much about how you'll play in those combats yet, but it's going to happen in eye-popping visuals powered by Lumberyard Engine.
