Great Little Star Trek game – Star Trek Timelines Review

I love this game for what it is. Not much “rpg” or interactive elements, similar to a casual game you play a little at a time. The point of this review was to state that this is NOT necessarily pay-to-win. I have no idea what every else is talking about when they say you need to pay to advance or whatever. Do some daily tasks (using “warp” helps, it’s like auto-fighting challenges for you) and cadet challenges are key. It might take some time, but it’s pretty quick if you play a little each day. Make sure to join a guild, and you’ll get extra perks (energy and certain currencies). There are spins you can do daily for nice things, and an extra one for watching an ad. If you can’t find an item you need to level someone up, you can replicate it using items, which may be tricky depending on what you have. I like using shuttle “boosts” cause they are free, I get a lot and never use them. I have some great characters to boot. The energy can be tricky, but come back every so often for free energy, occasionally watch an ad to double it, and join a guild for more free energy. If you save up your currency, take you time and just enjoy it for what it is, I think you’ll be surprised how enjoyable it can be. It’s not for everyone. So no, you DO NOT need to pay a cent to progress. I have some high level characters, a few immortalized, lots of energy and am having a lot of fun. Plus, they update the game with small events all the time. The only downside is if you want some ultra-favorite characters, they are usually for players who pay-to-win. Personally, I enjoy the slight randomness I get as a free player, so when a character I like does come into my possession, I am extra-delighted. That’s happened a few times, too. Most of all, take your time. No need to rush. It IS a casual game, let me restate that. No casual-energy game is really meant for hardcore, multiple hour play throughs. That’s just the name of the game, so to speak. Understand that and you’ll be fine.
