Dear God this game is an abomination.

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I've never played it - how would you describe the gameplay?

[–] NIB@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I havent played the game but from what i understand it seems like your typical mobile gacha game, where you collect characters and they autofight enemies. Except it isnt f2p and doesnt have any microtransactions. It is just a paid game, with all the trappings, design and progression of a f2p mobile game.

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Except it isnt f2p and doesnt have any microtransactions.

That part of it is appealing, though not if the game itself isn't worth the price of admission.

[–] NIB@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, the lack of microtransactions and theme are its strong points. It even has some light story stuff.

But if you want to play a game of that style, you might be better off playing Star Rail(from the dev that made Genshin Impact), which is a f2p game with tons of microtransactions but you can really enjoy it without spending a dime. And Star Rail's design and production values are unrivaled.

🙄

“Instead of the complete game without microtransactions may I recommend a F2P game rife with dark patterns and pay-to-win content?”

[–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It’s a pretty dull turn based battler. Think the battle mechanics of something like final fantasy, pick an enemy and an attack your character knows.

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sounds pretty standard for what was originally a mobile game. Trek's mobile efforts have never managed to grab me in the long term, though Timelines was okay.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Have any of their video games been good? I mean, I can't think of a single star trek game I've played and liked, unlike star wars that pops out real bangers

[–] USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 2 points 9 months ago

If you like old school adventure games, the TNG game, "A Final Unity" was great, but sadly isn't available on any platform I'm aware of these days.

And the recent game, "Resurgence", was good if you like TellTale style narrative games.

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 2 points 9 months ago

That's a difficult conversation to have, "good" being in the eye of the beholder, but we did have a thread about it a couple of months ago.

I remember liking the Star Trek: The Next Generation LCD handheld game. Was it good? No, probably not. Definitely not by today's standards. But in a pre-Gameboy era, the bar for handheld games was pretty low.

[–] wingsfortheirsmiles@feddit.uk 1 points 9 months ago

I liked Armada but that's about it :/

So Star Trek Pokémon?

Kirk used two-fist smash. It's not very effective!

Gorn used Swipe, but it missed!

Kirk used Rock Throw. It's super effective!

The wild Gorn fainted!
