It features a similar weapons structure, cover combat and the tactical nature where players need to look out for their ally as themselves also plays out similarly. The combat also bears a fair resemblence to Mass Effect. Missions are similarly constructed too, with linear level design hiding some little secrets that offer bits of lore that help flesh the game out. It might not look as good as, say, Mass Effect 3, but it was constructed with much the same eye for detail. The various game environments have that same epic scope. I think that was the idea that the developers might have started out with, too squint while you’re playing Star Trek and it does look and feel a little like a Mass Effect game. After all, Star Trek itself is not really about action - it’s more true science fiction with the focus being on the characters and the new worlds to explore. Just as importantly, I had expected that between the combat missions there would be character interaction and the ability to explore the Enterprise. So the game is a cover-based team shooter set in the Star Trek universe? I had visions of a reskinned Mass Effect-style game, and that had me all kinds of excited because as wonderful as the Mass Effect universe is, it just can’t compare with the sheer nerd-cool universe of Klingons and such things.

Despite being a licensed title, and despite a minimum of hype behind the game I had hoped that what was promised would deliver. I had hoped against hope that Star Trek would be a great game.
