James Pungello of VGU.TV takes a look at the new Star Trek game that bridges the gap between the first and second movies in the new series.
A new Star Trek PC and console game with a story-driven focus is in development at Jumpgate subsidiary gameXcite.
Oh, f$%&! They better not mess this up. Trek is miles better than any other Sci-fi franchise.
Keep up the good work!
They listened and made a physical version of Star Trek Resurgence, which I've pre-ordered, and I hope they make this new game both offline friendly and physical as well!
Immediate reaction - excited for new story driven Star Trek game.
Then I go and check GameXcite's website and see that the only thing they have released are a few Asterix games.
Set expectation to low
An old text-only strategy game remade with the graphics of the point-and-click adventure. The new version is now fully playable with a mouse only (also touch screen on Android tablets), but also with a keyboard only. You can also play with a controller by mapping cursor keys and Enter on the correct key.
This is very cool. I played many versions of Super Star Trek, some text based and some with rudimentary graphics. Back in the day, you’d get games like this off a floppy disk from a friend. I also played the 25th Anniversary Star Trek game. Cool to see a melding of the two.
Super Star Trek 25th is a remake / conversion of the strategy game Super Star Trek, written by Bob Leedom and David Ahl and published in the book BASIC Computer Games in 1978, mixed with the graphics of Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and the voices from ST The Original Series
I've never been a Star Trek fan but I just completed this game today. Played it through coop with a friend & while it does have a few bugs we had a blast. Alot of different elements from alot of different games are present. Cross between Gears of war/future soldier cover system. Unchrted like platforming & puzzles, Batman Arkham series type hacking/detective mode but it's mostly scanning & hacking & seeing cloaked enemies using your tricorder.
I'd give it a 8.9 outta 10 because of the bugs & some of the cutscenes aren't the best looking but the gameplay is downright beautiful & has a good mix of gameplay with a great story with enough depth to the gameplay to last throughout the adventure. There's one nasty bug that needs to be patched. You can get around it if you don't play it stealthy like your supposed to on the mission. The last part of a sneak route you can fall through the environment. If you go & kill everything & go the different route to the door you can avoid it but your suppose to be able to play it stealthy.
I thought I might like the game just from watching the gameplay videos but it's one of the better games I've played lately. I like it many times better than I thought I would & has got me interested in watching the original show plus the old & new movies.
