More On: Star Trek: Legends

The Playstation, Xbox, and Switch are all getting Star Trek: Legends. The mobile game was previously available on phones and tablets through Apple Arcade as well as PC via Steam and has now expanded into consoles. This is a mobile game being ported over to more robust systems, not the other way around so set your expectations accordingly; but it is a faithful representation of the Star Trek universe bringing some of the most iconic characters from multiple series into the game. The game itself is an RPG whose highlights include:

  • Assembling a crew from the more than 70 Star Trek characters to choose from
  • Make choices with consequences as story narratives and alliances diverge based on your own decisions
  • Master tactical combat in turn based encounters
  • Level up to collect rewards and unlock special abilities

The game has also been optimized for the move from touchscreens and mouse and keyboard interfaces to consoles and the native controllers they support. So despite being a mobile port if time is being devoted to take care of the new mediums that does bode well. Unfortunately it appears there is no cross-save, just as there was none between Apple iCloud and Steam saves. While you can play the game across multiple devices logged into any individual service (like iPhone and iPad), firing up the game on a console will see you start fresh.

Star Trek: Legends is available now on Apple devices, PC via Steam, Playstation, Xbox, and Switch.
