Star Trek Trexels

Star Trek: Trexels is a game set in the iconic Star Trek universe and drawing from its canon in spades (through the use of famous heroes and music, among other things). The title is a hybrid of many different genres - including strategy games and space simulators. YesGnome, a company known for such games as Champions and Challengers: Adventure Time and Kingsman - The Secret Service, is responsible for its creation.

Story

U.S.S. Valiant was destroyed by an unknown enemy, and the star fleet has chosen you to complete its mission in a mysterious region of space known as Trexelian Space. Old enemies and completely surprising new allies are waiting for us there.

Mechanics

Gameplay in Star Trek: Trexels combines several different elements, but is still very simple. As a captain we are responsible for expanding the ship (thanks to which we gain the necessary resources), selecting and training the crew, as well as exploring space and carrying out missions (for which the resources are needed). The latter can be very different and have extremely different goals - from negotiating with the Klingons to conducting research projects. A simple and clear LCARS interface helps us play the game - in most cases the game requires us to touch a single field on the screen with our finger. From time to time we also fight similarly simple battles, both in space and on the surface of planets.

Game modes

Star Trek: Trexels features single-player mode only.

Technical aspects

Star Trek: Trexels features two-dimensional old-school pixel-art graphics. The visuals of this production will not delight anyone, but they fulfill their purpose, providing all the necessary information and reflecting the atmosphere typical of the Star Trek universe. The game is accompanied by sound effects and musical works from iconic films and series belonging to the franchise, as well as a narration performed by George Takei himself.
