Fun game but...

John NoGood

Overall its a fun game. I gave it a second chance. I still find that micro transactions are needed to advance after a certain point. It’s free to play so what can we expect right?

For a true fan of the ST continuum there is no other possibility... This game rules. Just "killing" Wesley Crusher over & over each time he's offered is worth the entry fee! Could it be better? Does a whale sing in outer space!!! They need more "swarthy" Eastern European Klingons and Harry Mudd like the redux Chekov needed to dodge his "wesstle". We can't all meet Albino space Elves. But if we could... STT would have said Albino Elves included into the gameplay in a snap. Look how ST: Discovery was incorporated. This spans the entire Canon they include single episode über-beloved creatures from the original series. That has to come from a Trekkie supportive staff. Don’t forget if they don’t get paid, then they don’t pay their bills: then their Server provider shuts down... and the game you know you love more then their minor (but realistically described) faults matter. Think of them as that annoying space-wonk Hengist: “Fairy tales. Ghosts and goblins.” But Redjac on the other hand... is like the joy of playing this game for it’s own sake: “You'll die. Die, die, die, everybody die. Kill, kill, kill you all.” ! (And that episode played in the middle of the Summer of Love).

You don’t have to pay to win

Chloe Phillips ?

I love this game because I haven’t had to spend any money in order to ‘win’. There are some really good deals if you want to spend money though. GET THE MONTHLY CARD. It’s so worth it, for $3.99 you get 100 dilithium (which is basically the premium money) a day for a month - the only downside is that you have to open the app to claim it. I absolutely love everything about the app and the storyline of riveting (but you don’t need to pay attention to it to play, it just makes it 1000x more fun).

Almost knocked it out of the park!

You could do better. Fun, some glitches on the the Dabo wheel.. (mutters incoherently). I never win the good stuff!

Some frustration

Ghazi Funktastical

I have been playing this game for a few years now, and have spent a significant amount of money on it. I have been number one in all of the arena ranks previously and I feel that I have enough experience with it to write an informed review. Issue #1: The gauntlet always ends at the same time. I am an expat living in China and for me it ends at about 7 in the morning, which gives players from the USA a huge advantage because they have the entire time I am sleeping to knock me down from the top ten to rank 60 or so. Regardless of the time the gauntlet begins, it always finishes at the same time. Issue #2: Voyages are kind of nice in theory and I was excited when they first launched this feature. I am annoyed that it is designed to cost dilithium however. Even with a full crew of fully upgraded 5 star crew with bonus traits you usually can’t make it past 4 dilemmas. The decent prizes don’t start until after that. So it is designed to cost money. Issue #3: Faction specific items are too commonly used. Things like the hologram or the medical experiments are only available by doing faction missions or replication. I have well over 200 crew that are just waiting their turn for items that cannot be obtained using chronitons. This has become a huge point of frustration for me. Issue #4: Pay to win events. I feel like the event structure they use is extremely frustrating. You can use in game items and be paying attention during the events with the perfect crews for the particular event, but good luck getting into the top one thousand without using a significant amount of dilithium. I feel like events meant to make the community complete should be a competition of in game dedication and not so much about the depth of your wallet. I’ve got a few more smaller issues with the game, but I feel that this covers the nuts and bolts of it. It is a fun game for people who like to collect, which is a significant portion of the Star Trek community, but even after spending a thousand dollars on virtual goods, it still doesn’t feel like enough. I have played games all over the internet, but I feel this is the greediest of all of them that I have experienced. It can be fun, but be prepared to put a second mortgage on your house if you want to be at all competitive here.

Profits are low

Seems you have to buy your way to advancement. Unless I’m missing something this isn’t bueno.

Would have given five stars...

If you didn’t have to wait for your chronitons to reload just to play the game.... that’s is ridiculous...

Big on nostalgia, but you better bring your wallet.

First of all, this game was obviously made by people who grew up watching TOS, for some, or TNG for others, and maybe even Enterprise for some. It's chock full of the bronze-level-hardness sci-fi and semi-plausible plotlines of the TV serieses. There's a lot to love here, as you procure a Borg scout ship and staff it with, say, Kirk, Data and Florist Q (yes, that is a character you can acquire) and boldly go where thousands have gone before. But what's not to love is the absurdly vast number of characters in the game, with an equally absurdly vast array of possible traits and skills, and how often you will run into an objective on an Away mission that is locked to all 50 of your crewmen, except for that ONE level ten 1-star character that you never bothered to train or equip because, well, they're USELESS, except for that one Away mission that prevents you from getting all three stars. And you're going to keep running into that, again and again and again, unless you pony up large stacks of cash. And you're going to get your petunias handed to you in ship-to-ship combat again and again and again by people who have the cash flow to have the top-level ships in each category. I had fun, but I ended up bashing my face against the rocks of low income too much to keep going. It's all about the Benjamins, baby.

Good game, but needs tweaks

NYCchgoLA

The game and the idea is great. Love the characters and the ships and the play. The problem is that it is very hard to move forward in the game. It’s too expensive to add crew. Very difficult to add ships unless you pay. Once I found another game, I quickly lost interest and didn’t pay for 2-3 days. I understand that the game needs to make money, but if you make it too difficult to advance unless you pay. The game gets boring and stale really fast. My advice, play until you start to flounder cause you don’t have enough dilithium crystals or you have to play the same levels over and over just to advance, then move on. The game seems to be more about making money than experience instead of a reasonable balance.
