Battery Drainer – Star Trek Timelines Review

I really enjoy this game, but I can only give it 3 stars because it is a huge battery drainer. I will play for about 10 minutes and my battery which was at 98% will now be down to 88-90%. Because this game draws you in, it’s very easy to spend 20+ minutes before you know it. Thus, expect to charge your phone a couple of times a day. I have a 6S+, so it’s slightly on the older side, but I play plenty of other games for 20 or more minutes and only lose a couple % on my battery. Additionally, there is a bit of an imbalance in terms of chronitons vs. in-game money. I consistently have over 6 million bucks in-game but run out of chronitons several times a day. Honor is fairly easy to come by, but the amounts that you need to buy anything on the store is prohibitive. I haven’t calculated out the rate that you’d have to gain honor to buy any of the higher level rewards, but the highest thing I can buy is usually the blue citation - and only if I don’t buy any yellow trainers, ever. Finally, slots for characters are hard to come by without spending real money. I could see that as a reason many people would quit the game. I have spent real money on dilution so that I could get more character slots, but it quickly became clear that even with freezing my top level characters I wasn’t ever going to have enough slots for the new characters. Also, you can’t just freeze all of your top characters when they get to 100 because then you won’t be able to finish some of the cadet challenges or missions.
