Originally hidden away as a subscription-only game on Apple Arcade, Star Trek Legends eventually escaped its cage and was released as a single purchase game on other platforms. It’s a turn-based strategy game where you take up to four crew members on missions that consist of battles and possibly a choice to make.
As with most mobile Star Trek games, time is wibbly so that characters from multiple shows can make an appearance, with this covering The Original Series to Enterprise, with Discovery and Picard also included. This game involves the Nexus, which lets your ship, the USS Artemis, gather crew from time and space. You’ll have to fight Cardassians, Romulans, Federation holograms and more. The first characters you’ll encounter are Burnham, Worf and McCoy, who have the main dialogue throughout the mildly entertaining story.
The combat itself is very basic, so much that you can just let it play itself. You don’t really need to pay attention to any tactics unless you’re severely under levelled, which means you won’t be worse off by just letting the game play itself. While this is a single purchase with no microtransactions (other than one DLC pack), it very much feels like a mobile game filled with them.
Unlocking characters involves a lootbox system using in-game resources. While there are plenty of known characters, there’s also a lot of generic characters and you’ll receive a lot of duplicates of these generic officers. You’ll also need to grind different resources to level up your characters, and there’s even premium currency for a rather useless shop. The game’s biggest fault is that it feels like playing a free to play game where you don’t use the real money shop.

I played this game for some time a couple of years ago. It became repetitive eventually and then stopped playing. Soon after, I ended my subscription to Apple Arcade.
So a Raid Shadow Legends clone?
I’m not sure, I don’t know anything about Raid Shadow Legends, I always thought that was was a Clash of Clans clone or something like that.
Basically the same yeah. I only play it because I enjoy the Trek skin enough to justify the time spent
It’s a pretty game but rapidly looses its fun. The combat is too mechanical/predictable, strongly dependent on a single optimal move combination, and having the right levels. It could have easily been better.
I think the main story revolved around the crew of a new ship, the USA Artemis, investigating the Nexus. The crew accidentally get caught up with the bizarre forces and the captain must use the help of well known crew to escape the Nexus.
I played it briefly.
It was not as exciting as sto. And I had a, completely me problem, continuing inability to keep playing sto.
absolutely dreadful entry in the “this was supposed to have micro transactions but doesn’t now” genre
I really dig this game, but it did get very repetitive, and it DRAINED my battery and made my phone really hot, haha! But I had some genuine fun here and there. Love that it ties in with the Nexus from Generations!
From what I can tell, the main appeal is Michael Dorn came back to voice Worf for the ads and the intro cutscene, but that’s it.
I played through it; I enjoyed it! I mean sure it’s grindy, but I enjoy that style of traditional RPG combat.
For a phone game to play while bored, it’s not a bad one.
on the one hand i like the lack of mtx, but on the other i hate the excessive grinding this style of game comes with! glad we’re starting to get full games like Supernova, Resurgence, Infinite again though!
