When the game does try to present more elaborate scenarios, they're so badly designed and unbalanced that they're just frustrating rather than fun. One insanely difficult mission where the player has to shoot down stellar fragments before they hit several planets is guaranteed to send most players screaming toward the Neutral Zone.
Players had better get used to frustration since there's no in-mission save or checkpoints. This means that one screw-up in an hour-long mission can send the player back to square one.
Another delightful mission requires players to disable the engines on three specific Romulan transports during a battle with over 40 ships flying around. In addition to the general targeting and maneuvering woes, players will also have to use subsystem targeting.
Good luck figuring out how to use it. Both the instructions in the game and in the manual are flat-out wrong. Additionally, the instructions in the in-game tutorial weren't translated from the Xbox version to the PC; they tell the player to use the left stick and press the A button. Then there are the instructions for using a cloaking device -- which are nowhere to be found. Ship AI is pretty decent, which is a necessity since their willingness to actually follow the player's orders is spotty at best.
The game comes with a Skirmish mode that allows players to pit up to 16 ships on four teams against one another on a variety of maps. I was really looking forward to this because I wanted to recreate some classic match-ups. In my first game, for example, I really enjoyed pitting the Enterprise-D against the E. When I explored further, however, I realized that even this mode got screwed up.
There's no way to actually select the ships used by the AI. Instead, the skirmish options only allow the player to choose how many points the AI can spend on its fleet. Naturally it always spends as many as it can. In the end, Star Trek: Legacy reeks of missed opportunities and features cut to make a ship date.
In any ordinary game, that would be sad enough. For this to be done to Star Trek: Legacy is almost criminal. This was supposed to be the 40th Anniversary game, the one that fans had been waiting for through all the years of dreck like Star Trek: Shattered Universe.
Well, keep those hailing frequencies open. That great Trek game has got to be out there, and Star Trek: Legacy surely isn't it. Contact: , done in 0. Search a Classic Game:. How will that affect the game's design? Kirk's ship has never looked better. You've got to admire the bare-faced balls of someone who's dared to improve the slinky clunk of the classic NCC But what will combat be like?
Point, click, phasers? The static lasers-on, lasers-off battles of the TV series, with an occasional manoeuvre named after someone they just made up? Will it be about diverting power to shields? Legacy is all about sexy space combat. There's nothing static about these battles; think tactical movements, ships getting torn apart chases, running battles and of course, big, sexy explosions.
From other gameplay on show at E3 - a gigantic battle around Deep Space Nine between Klingons and Romulans, with a side helping of the Federation coming to the rescue that was cut short by the appearance of a flotilla of gigantic Borg cubes - the doctor is living up to this promise. What's more, each of the above will be playable in multiplayer - if you have a pressing need to assimilate someone - and skirmish battles taken liberally from Star Trek history will be available.
So don't count out Wolf So, it's time to ask that guestion. The question that tests the mettle and reserve of anyone with a love for Roddenbury's massive baby.
Were you ever a reader of alt. If the character is young and constantly changing, it's harder to portray the changes and conflicts in the drama. Spoken like a true Vulcan diplomat. Five captains united for the first time in the history of the Star Trek franchise! Had this been a press release, that's exactly how I would have started it In fact, I may just have left it at that, because let's face it, the idea of having the voice talents of the five major Star Trek captains under one roof would be enough to sell this game to even the most tepidly enthusiastic of Trekkies.
I wouldn't even have to mention Legacy's epic space combat battles, the potentially mesmerising era-spanning plot or the stupefying collection of Starships just waiting to be kicked into warp 19 it's OK, I'm exaggerating for effect and sent into battle against alien races. Neither would I have to mention the fact that Id spent several hours in an intimate clinch with the latest code. Of course, this being a playtest, you'll be wanting a few more juicy nuggets of info, so here goes.
Visually, Legacy is looking little short of spectacular, with Starships accumulating real-time damage as they're pounded by pyrotechnic phaser and torpedo displays, while the dark, airless void is dotted with bright planets and mammoth spacestations. Even Deep Space 9 makes an appearance.
Your fleet of four ships you start the game with just one can be upgraded or sold for scrap metal to fund the purchase of newer, more advanced vessels that pack enough firepower to bring down a Borg cube the size of a moon.
Just as well really, as the Borg, coupled with the Romulans and Klingons, seemed responsible for the majority of the game's combat in the levels that I sampled. Being able to redirect my ship's power on-the-fly and issuing my mini armada with orders added a tactical edge to the brutal action, while the option to use Nebulas to thwart the enemy added a genuine sense of immersion to the proceedings. If youre a die-hard fan, you'll be pleased to know that all of your favourite Starships have been recreated in loving detail and are available for you to command, including the Defiant, Intrepid and Mildly Insubordinate.
OK, I may have made that last one up, but you get the picture. However, it's not all positive. Download 2. Captures and Snapshots Windows.
