Each Hunter boasts their own unique moves, abilities, and power-ups to aid their quest for glory in the Arena. And Star Wars: Hunters features an array of game modes to test your mettle, such as Squad Brawl, in which opposing teams will battle to rack up the most eliminations, and Trophy Chase, where competing squads will vie for control of the elusive droid TR0-F33."
