Citizens of the Federation are rejoicing today, as game developer Disruptor Beam has announced that STAR TREK TIMELINES, a new strategy role-playing game that brings together 50 years of Star Trek, is now available. The game can be downloaded for free in five languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese) on both iOS and Android devices. No Klingon version yet, sorry.
So, what is Star Trek Timelines? Our sensors indicate that it features hundreds of beloved characters from all eras of Star Trek as well as 3D graphics. Exploring the galaxy alongside friends, players can apparently gather their favorite starships, and assemble a dream crew including familiar faces like Kirk, Spock, Janeway, Worf, Locutus of Borg, and many more. As they participate in missions, players have the opportunity to command a variety of iconic starships and engage in 3D ship-to-ship battles with a cinematic feel. Set phasers on Hell Yeah!
“We’re celebrating Star Trek’s 50th anniversary this year by welcoming fans from around the world into the Timelines game community,” said Jon Radoff, Founder and CEO of Disruptor Beam. “We have created a game that will immerse fans in the Star Trek universe like no other game has. And with its deep, story-driven gameplay and stellar graphics, we believe that Timelines is one of the best-looking game experiences on a mobile device today.”
Star Trek Timelines includes content and characters from Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise – plus the first ten Star Trek films, from Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) through Star Trek Nemesis (2002). By the way, Star Trek celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2016, with the first episode of the original series airing back in September 1966. Wow, do you feel old now or what?
So what are you waiting for, a Tholian incursion into the Neutral Zone? You can download Star Trek Timelines right now on the App Store and on Google Play. The devs promise us that they will continue to update the game post-launch by adding and expanding features, integrating more characters and starships, and incorporating in-game events.
May the Force Be With– er, uh … I mean Live Long and Prosper!
