For years, Star Trek fans have had limited options when it comes to games on Nintendo systems. Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova, a co-op adventure game from Tessera Studios, has been the main Star Trek game on the Switch. Additionally, there’s the TNG table in Pinball FX. However, a new game called Star Trek: Legends is set to be released on December 25th, just in time for Christmas.
Star Trek: Legends, developed by Emerald City Games, is a strategy-based RPG that was originally launched on Apple Arcade in 2021 and recently made its way to Steam. The game uses the Nexus, a spacefaring energy ribbon from Generations, to bring together iconic characters from the Star Trek universe. Players will recruit heroes and villains, go on missions, and engage in turn-based battles with a cartoon-y art style.
The game allows players to take command of the U.S.S. Artemis and recruit over 70 characters from the Star Trek universe, including Kirk, Spock, Picard, Janeway, and more. Players can assemble their team strategically, with each character bringing their own unique skills and abilities to the table. The decisions players make will impact the outcome of the game’s story.
Star Trek: Legends offers an immersive 3D world for players to explore, interact with characters, and engage in epic battles. The game is currently priced at £10.79 / €11.99 on the European Switch eShops. While the game has received a ‘Mixed’ response from Steam reviews, it still presents an exciting opportunity for Star Trek fans to dive into the universe and command their own crew.
As we look forward to the release of Star Trek: Legends, it’s worth considering how the game will live up to its promises of epic turn-based gameplay. With expectations tempered and an affordable price point, fans may find a hidden gem in this new Star Trek adventure. Have you played Star Trek: Legends on other platforms?
