Gamexcite and Daedalic Entertainment have announced that the alternative Star Trek history will soon be here.
Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown is a story-driven survival strategy game in which players control the fate of the iconic starship. Take the helm, manage the ship and its resources, and make tough decisions. Will you be able to bring the ship and its crew home safely? Have you ever wondered what would have happened if Captain Janeway had made different decisions? What if an important crew member had followed a different path? Or, what would have been the outcome if the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager had embraced Borg technology to increase their chances of survival? Wonder no more: Star Trek: Voyager: Across the Unknown allows players to control the U.S.S. Voyager‘s journey and shape its path. Take a risky approach or play it safe. Be diplomatic or let your phasers do the talking. Research technologies that the crew shuns. But be prepared to face the consequences of your choices! Be prepared to face the consequences of your choices. The game features roguelike elements, so each run will be different. Even iconic characters might meet an early end if you don’t react accordingly.
After being forcefully moved into the Delta Quadrant, the U.S.S. Voyager is heavily damaged and in dire need of repairs and reconstruction. Restore destroyed rooms, secure life support and energy supplies, and begin construction. Ship systems, crew quarters, industrial facilities, and research facilities: Decide what to build and when to ensure the ship has what it needs for the perilous journey. Accelerate research into different fields. New technologies and improved layouts will strengthen the ship and boost morale. Exotic and dangerous research, such as Borg technology, is also within your reach. As captain, will you embrace this technology for its potential or avoid it because of the dangers it presents?
You and your crew will discover the dangers and opportunities of the Delta Quadrant. Scan celestial bodies to find precious resources that will fuel your journey. Discover points of interest and oddities along the way. But beware: The Delta Quadrant rewards the bold, but it punishes the careless just as quickly. As captain, you have the final say in plotting a course and defining an approach. The U.S.S. Voyager‘s journey would not be possible without ship-to-ship combat and away missions to planets or space facilities. For away missions, assemble a team based on your crew’s individual talents. A team whose skills complement each other may be best suited for the task, but the decision is yours. You decide whether to minimize risk for team members, rush headlong into danger, or take a scientific approach.
When diplomacy fails, the U.S.S. Voyager and its crew are ready to engage in ship-to-ship combat at your command. From the bridge, you can issue commands for offensive and defensive maneuvers, target enemy ship systems, and use special weaponry. Even during ship combat, your crew members’ individual skills come into play. Assign battle stations to crew members with valuable skills and activate them at pivotal moments to maximize your combat effectiveness.
