I don't think a 4x strategy game is the best approach to the franchise. What's more, this game used the Stellaris engine, and there's already an excellent, total-conversion Star Trek mod for Stellaris.
I'd love to see a Trek game by a competent adventure dev like Wadget Eye. Hopefully Resurgence will be good, but I'll not be holding my breath; most recent Trek games have been low quality cash-grabs, bulging with microtransactions.
There are two Star Trek total conversions for Stellaris, even, each with their own unique approach. New Civilizations might even be a little better, imo.
Also, Resurgence already came out, to mixed reviews—but no microtransactions! It's coming out on Steam in May, but that's because it was a timed Epic exclusive.
I liked Resurgence a lot, though it looks a little rough around the edges in places.
I tried to play it when it came out, but there were some visual issues that started to give me a migraine so I put it down and just haven't picked it up since. At some point I'll give it another shot and see if they fixed the migraine issue haha
Thank you for the correction, I remember reading about the Epic exclusivity now. I look forward to picking it up when it goes on sale! Such is my way. I knew there was a solid Star Trek Stellaris scene, but I'm just a dabbler in 4x games. My favorite Trek games are probably A Final Unity and the Interplay TOS adventures from 30 years ago.
Edited to add, Bridge Crew is moderately fun as a single player game. Would probably be a blast with a group of friends.
I enjoyed the game for what it’s worth. I’d have liked more, that I presumed would come in future patches and DLC. Oh well.
