I’d recently added Star Trek Fleet Command back to my phone because I’ve been watching season 3 of Star Trek Picard, and it’s really been fueling a desire to immerse myself in More Things Trek. When I started the game, I realized that I must have played it years ago, because I’d already made it past the tutorials and had a ship and some characters.
It… wasn’t an ideal situation.
The things you need to do, the resources you have to monitor, the number of events and tasks you need to keep track of, all make for a confusing game that really was too busy to enjoy. Since the game was already assuming I knew what I was doing, I just didn’t have the interest to keep with it and try to build my fleet and officers. Throw in the gacha/proto-gambling mechanics that come with these kinds of mobile games, and it was a quick decision to purge it.
So… almost as soon as I’ve downloaded it, I’m giving it the boot.
This was an easy decision to make. I find it impossible to believe there aren’t many, many more, better Star Trek games out there that can slake your thirst for a voyage to the Final Frontier.
