Star Trek: Legends invites players to boldly go where no player has yet gone before -- to consoles. Originally released for Apple Arcade back in 2021, the acclaimed team-based RPG has made its console debut.
Now playable on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, players can embark on an epic journey, assembling a roster of their favorite Star Trek characters -- heroes and villains -- and engaging in an epic story "for control of the mysterious Nexus and the fate of the universe."
Taking command of the U.S.S. Artemis, players will embark on missions and experience turn-based combat, making choices that will also influence the entire story.
Star Trek: Legends boasts a roster of over 70 characters drawn from all ends of the franchise, including Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Star Trek: Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Discovery, and Star Trek: Picard. Want Kirk to fight alongside Burnham? Timelines matter not in this game, making it the ultimate Star Trek fan experience.
There is a strategy element to the game though. Each legendary character has their own unique set of skills and abilities that you'll need to carefully manage when assembling a team. You'll assign crew to posts at the bridge of the U.S.S. Artemis where they'll support the away team and, ultimately, prove to be the difference between mission success and failure.
Remember, this was a mobile game so there are some GACHA mechanics at play here. Thankfully, since it was initially released on Apple Arcade, these mechanics aren't as predatory as other free-to-play GACHA games. Yes, there is a grind to leveling up your characters and progressing through the game, including timed quests that increase in length, but there are not a ton of pay-to-win elements that skip or speed up things.
Engage in an epic storyline for control of the mysterious Nexus and the fate of the universe as players step into the role of their favorite Star Trek heroes and villains in the hit franchise's official team-based RPG.
Star Trek: Legends sets a new standard for fans and newcomers alike. The game invites you to forge alliances, make tactical choices, and step into a Galaxy as vast as it is dangerous.
