The Gamers' Temple: "Even if you view it as a gaming exercise in Mystery Science Theatre 3000, it is still infuriating to the point that making fun of it loses its charm. I know there is a contingent of Trekkies out there that will buy anything with Star Trek emblazoned on it, and that's fine; buy it, put it on your display shelf and never, ever play it."
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.
I agree, at the same time no one can seem to make a decent StarTrek game.
I'm with you ... they better not fk this up
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
Oh look, another overly critical review I can't agree with. I'm not sure which version you played, and I certainly won't argue that it's a technically perfect game, but what I played was enjoyable. I finished it solo with Kirk, and am currently playing co-op with a friend as Spock. I certainly see where it borrows its gameplay from other similar titles in the genre, but I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing.
As I said, I'm having fun with it...then again, my expectations weren't really unrealistic, so call me pleasantly surprised.
Never played but for a gamer to get 30/100 it should be pretty much broken and unplayable out of the box.
That doesn't seem to be the case here. = failed review
I'm not even a star trek fan either...prob never will be but games of 3/10 usually deserve it.
Shame because Into Darkness has just become one of my top favourite movies.
