Star Trek Discovery: Black Alert Review!

[@ShunyValdez]

I ordered this a while back. Based on your reactions, I can't wait to get my copy. I like Discovery, but my gaming group are not trekkies. So they'll be looking at the gameplay. Based on their reactions when I brought in Star Trek Frontiers, non-trekkies won't be looking for new games because of the IP, regardless of the gameplay. So this is why I think people aren't talking about it. The IP makes them think it's not for them.

I agree, the IP mixed with this particular gameplay is works well. But I just am not sure if it will catch on. Time will tell.

If you want a silly fun time, try the first couple of episodes of Lower Decks. The episodes are short, the jokes are funny even if you don't know Trek lore, and the characters have nice arcs. For a simple concept-of-the-week, try Next Generation anywhere from Season 3 and beyond. Voyager is also pretty episodic for the most part, if you want more "the ship finds a weird thing" episodes. For a compelling long-term storyline, try Deep Space Nine, specifically when Sisko gets a beard and beyond.

Thanks! Lower Decks does sound like a fun starting place.
