Voyager is my favourite of the trek series so i really wanted to like this game. Most reviews are from people with 1 or 2 hours, they not really had a chance to play enough for review. im 15 hours in. Cant save the game on exit, or any other time. Crashes when try start some missions or talk to people Hero unlocks can be missed without even knowing it. Some mission choices just cause you to instantly fail the …

Overall: Not Recommended ❌ "We have heard you - very loudly..." but apparently, you weren't listening. I am writing this because the latest developer update regarding the saving mechanism is nothing short of a bureaucratic insult to the players' time. The developers claim that implementing a basic "Save on Quit" or manual save feature is "complicated" and might diminish "crucial game design decisions." Let’s be …

Very cool game as a Star Trek fan. Keep in mind you're in for an indie production here, so maybe it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a higher budget title, but I think the gameplay loop does a good job providing a classic Star Trek experience. My big complaint is no manual save. I made the unfortunate assumption that the lack of manual save meant that the game consistently autosaved, and upon exiting, I …

Gameplay 7/10 Graphics 6/10 Writing 9/10 Replayability 8/10 Game Design 8/10 Overall 8.5/10 There’s a certain tone that Star Trek: Voyager had: a mix of adventure, loneliness, competence, and quiet loyal decency, that was pretty special.

This game is too random for how long it is. Or too long for how random it is. For the choose your own adventure style they're going for, it should be much faster to get in and get out of a run. Instead, you're spending 30 hours to find out that a decision you made or upgrade you didn't get 15 hours ago will hose your outcome now. The decisions I did make I was fine with, and quite enjoyed. But the decisions I didn't …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First time reviewing a game, but I feel quite strongly about this one so here we go... Immediate impressions of Voyager - Across the Unknown are strong. The user interface is good, the sound design is fantastic and Voyager herself looks beautiful. As an avid Star Trek fan, you're immediately whisked away into the game. The character models are a little cursed, but you learn to look past that. The base-building aspect of the game is the most involved part and will be where you are spending…

You can do absolutely fine, have everything topped off and upgrade all your equipment and then a series of bad rolls mean you have to restart an entire sector because you're in a literally unwinnable situation. The Good: The game captures a lot of the visuals, spirit, and enjoyment of Voyager. It can be fun to manage logistics and upgrade your…

First of all there's no excuse for Day 1 DLC. I am fed up of companies chopping bits out of games and flogging it to us for extra and calling it deluxe / premium etc. Either stick it in the main game or hang fire and release it later in a proper expansion / base game upgrade. The way this comes…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Whatever moron thought it was a good idea to not allow you to skip the 30+ minute forced tutorial whenever you start a new save file needs to never work in game design again. Why the ♥♥♥♥ can I not just hit "Skip Tutorial?" and then go straight into the real game and not have to sit there and be told what a Warp Core does or have to talk to the fraking Caretaker EVERY DAMN TIME. Furthermore this game is just kind of a bad take on the survival space sim genre. Firstly the amount of hoops you…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, the save system is garbage and needs to be fixed. That said, I can't believe a game like this got licensed and made. It's so much fun to go through Voyager trying to survive the Delta quadrant. Making decisions Janeway couldn't is fun, opposing her is better, but being in the context of perilous survival and realizing I would have made the same choice she did hits hard. Absolute must play for any Voyager fan.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Star Trek Voyager was the first show I watched when I was a kid, it is what I was introduced to. When I booted into the main menu and heard the theme song, I was hit by a wave of nostalgia, I just sat and listened to it for a few minutes. It’s really nice to play a modern Star Trek game that isn't built for mobile or filled with $50 microtransactions for a new ship, it feels like a real game and you can tell the developers tried to put their heart in it. The What If? scenarios are…

In 1972 he rewrote it in HP BASIC, and it became briefly the most distributed software of all time. The code is still available. So I ported it! Check it out!

neutral · AI labelView post →I was a proponent of this game, I purchased the deluxe edition to show my support for a quality Star Trek game but that stops here. The fact that you have a 'season pass' like a predatory AAA title is bad enough, but the fact that they have the gall to make it cost more than the base game is absolutely disgusting. This business model is absolute cancer and I refuse to support it. Dont abuse the small fanbase you have created by trying to drain their wallets with this nonsense.

Why this game was released without being ready can only be chalked up to some deadline setting know-nothing executive.

It's just not worth $50 CAD. There’s almost no voice acting in the game and while the logs from Tom and Tuvok are great additions, the space combat voice acting is on par with Spider-Man 2. The sound effects aren't bad but there isn't much of them besides phasers, torpedos and the UI…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm teaching myself how to play the Star Trek Captain's Chair game. It is incredibly thematic and dense with lore. It's definitely one of the heavier games I've played. Good thing the solo mode is so strong because it would never be a candidate for family game night.

Right now it's missing a save scum option, because there's an awful lot of failure - just like Oregon Trail. If you like Oregon Trail. You can definitely like this game. If you like Oregon Trail AND Star Trek? You will love this.

Not bad for a first attempt. The resource issues and hull damage mechanics are pretty brutal, giving you a real Year of Hell vibe. By early Season 3 voyager, most of my crew was still in emergency quarters and I'd only just managed to get the ship self-sufficient on food. The ship was constantly running out of fuel. But I see what I'd do differently,…

I wanted to enjoy it; being a HUGE Star Trek fan - and I think that's what kept me playing for 10+ hours, but unfortunately that wore thin after a while. There is no strategy here, there is no influence; except where you want to go to - or not go to depending how low your resources are. This is my list of Pros and Cons Pros - Nostalgia... That is about it. Cons - It is TOTALLY RANDOM; you might as well have an electronic dice button, or guess what number the…

This game tries to sell you as the commander and TAKE the helm. ummmm...... at best your an untitled assistant who's decisions influence pathing in the game. But dont get confused. Its not like there are TONS of paths or options. Also at no point do you take the ship, you chat with the commander basically the whole time. There are other games much better that dont lie in their advertising. I would start there as the whole rest of this game left me wanting more. The…

But it needs a lot of polish/fine tuning to be a fun game for those who aren't Star Trek fans and just want a good roguelike or a story heavy FTL. If I was allowed to select where it should sit on steam I'd say "mostly positive" would sum it up. I haven't watched Voyager since it aired live, I also wasn't its biggest fan, it being my least favourite of the big 3 at the time(TNG, DS9 and Voyager). So my initial…
