The first gameplay footage of Star Wars: Uprising was unveiled by publisher Kabam today, and if you weren’t already stoked to take on the remnants of the Empire, this should do the trick.

Blasters, force powers, flamethrowers, and plenty of swordplay brings the action in the developer’s first demo for the real time strategy game that picks up after the destruction of the second Death Star. The game is coming out on iOS and Android in September in anticipation of the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens at the end of the year.

Checkout the first gameplay footage:

Uprising’s website shows many of the characters, factions, enemies, and locations you can expect to visit in the game. Cloud City and Hoth are slated to make appearances as well as Burnin Konn, which the site describes as “a mining colony for chromium and other rare ores” and “a mostly uninhabitable and entirely inhospitable wasteland.”
