Star Trek: Legends Review (Switch eShop)

Star Trek: Legends on Switch features familiar characters but struggles with repetitive gameplay and slow loading times.

: Star Trek: Legends, a turn-based game by Emerald City Games, features 95 characters from across the Star Trek franchise. Issues include repetitive gameplay, extended load times, and a gameplay style better suited for mobile platforms. Characters are faithfully depicted, but with a focus on combat over storytelling. The game presents a lack of depth that may not engage traditional Star Trek fans.

Star Trek: Legends, reviewed on the Nintendo Switch, brings 95 iconic characters from various Star Trek series into a turn-based combat game. Despite its potential, the game suffers from repetitive gameplay mechanics and frequent loading delays that mar the experience.

While the game's character animations and movesets are well-crafted, its heavy reliance on mobile-style elements detracts from the immersive Star Trek experience fans might expect. Focusing on combat, rather than exploring deep storylines or character development, makes it feel less in tune with Star Trek's core themes.

The absence of original voice acting and a static audio experience further detracts from the game's appeal. Though it offers some satisfaction through character collection and tactical combat, the gameplay loop lacks depth, making Star Trek: Legends a tough sell for true Trekkies looking for engaging content.
