      I havent played the game but from what i understand it seems like your typical mobile gacha game, where you collect characters and they autofight enemies. Except it isnt f2p and doesnt have any microtransactions. It is just a paid game, with all the trappings, design and progression of a f2p mobile game.

        That part of it is appealing, though not if the game itself isn’t worth the price of admission.

          Yeah, the lack of microtransactions and theme are its strong points. It even has some light story stuff.

          But if you want to play a game of that style, you might be better off playing Star Rail(from the dev that made Genshin Impact), which is a f2p game with tons of microtransactions but you can really enjoy it without spending a dime. And Star Rail’s design and production values are unrivaled.

            🙄

            “Instead of the complete game without microtransactions may I recommend a F2P game rife with dark patterns and pay-to-win content?”

        Sounds pretty standard for what was originally a mobile game. Trek’s mobile efforts have never managed to grab me in the long term, though Timelines was okay.

        So Star Trek Pokémon?

        Kirk used two-fist smash. It’s not very effective!

        Gorn used Swipe, but it missed!

        Kirk used Rock Throw. It’s super effective!

        The wild Gorn fainted!
