Authentic Star Trek adventure from former members of Telltale Games. Engage in diplomacy, pilot shuttlecraft, and use your tricorder and phaser to overcome challenging puzzles and deadly threats. Tough decisions will impact relationships, your story, and the fate of the galaxy. What will YOU do?
During conversations, the game presents you with multiple dialogue options that allow you to steer the discussion in different directions. Your choices can positively or negatively impact how other characters perceive you, and significantly alter the story's outcome. For example, you may choose to be diplomatic in negotiations with an alien race, or take a more confrontational stance - each approach elicits a unique response from your crewmates and affects the mission's success.
The gameplay extends beyond dialogue, challenging you to interact with the environment in meaningful ways. You'll use a tricorder to scan for clues, complete quick-time events to activate or repair various systems, and even pilot a shuttle through hazardous space lanes. These interactive segments provide a refreshing change of pace from the narrative focus, allowing you to directly impact the unfolding events.
While not the primary focus, the game does incorporate some combat and stealth sequences. You can use your phaser to fend off hostile entities, though the combat system is relatively forgiving and straightforward. Stealth sections, on the other hand, require you to carefully navigate past adversaries, adding an additional layer of challenge to certain situations.
One of the game's strengths is the sense of player agency and the weight of your decisions. The choices you make can significantly alter your relationships with the crew, the overall story, and the ultimate fate of the galaxy. This encourages you to thoughtfully consider the potential consequences of your actions, further immersing you in the Star Trek universe.
