Star Trek Timelines is a strategy role playing video game developed by Disruptor Beam as an app, released on 14 January 2016 and maintained by Tilting Point. Timelines has releases for iOS and Android devices and web browsers.
The game's novel premise is the temporal anomaly crisis, which allows it to take place during every era of the Star Trek television franchise, and including TOS and TNG feature films. One exception is the Kelvin timeline series of movies, which are not entirely included due to the fact that the time travel event stemming from the red matter device propelled that timeline to be entirely divergent from the primary universe and therefore not accessible for inclusion. The game has also not yet extensively referenced the Star Trek: Prodigy continuity.
Overview[]
Developed by Disruptor Beam, the game allows you to command a starship and assemble a crew of your favorite Star Trek characters while steering the fate of the galaxy through diplomacy, science and tactical actions. On 4 March 2020, Tilting Point acquired the game from Disruptor Beam and created a new studio Wicked Realm Games to support the title.[1]
Gameplay[]
Set after the events of Star Trek Nemesis and Star Trek: Voyager's series finale, Star Trek Timelines begins as the player captains their first starship command to investigate an unknown temporal anomaly. Upon arriving at the anomaly, the player meets Q, who immediately explains that a full-on temporal crisis has begun throwing people, places, and objects from other timelines (including the primary universe, the mirror universe and the "warship universe") into this one.
Star Trek Timelines lets players recruit characters from all eras of the Star Trek TV series, including Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, plus the Original Series and Next Generation movies. Players take on the role of captain, in command of their first starship (a Constellation-class starship, just like Jean-Luc Picard's first command). Soon, players must recruit crew and build starships from across the timelines in order to aid Q by sending crew on away missions, engaging in starship battles, and completing main missions to progress the story and choose which game factions take further control of a galaxy in chaos.
Away missions[]
One of the primary ways to progress in the game (including Starship Battles) an Away Mission is when the player sends a team of three characters out to complete a challenge. Each step of an Away Mission will require a character with the appropriate skill level and proficiency: diplomatic, scientific, medical, engineering, security, and command.[2] Certain characters will even be able to unlock special steps on an Away Mission for rare rewards. Each Away Mission has three levels of difficulty: normal, elite, and epic.[3]
Starship battles[]
Described as, "real-time conflicts between two starships and their respective crew."[3] Before a starship battle, the player assigns 1-5 characters to a starship's battle station. Each character, when placed in a battle station, is able to temporarily increase the output of a ship. Currently, this is represented by three core stats: Damage, Accuracy, and Evasion.
Development[]
Officially announced in April 2014[4], Star Trek Timelines is a 3D/2D game built in Unity 5. Its first live demo was at PAX East 2015[5], and the first playable tutorial experience was later debuted at Star Trek Las Vegas 2015[6].
Story and setting[]
Originally set after the events of Star Trek Nemesis and Star Trek: Voyager's series finale, Star Trek Timelines begins with player captaining their first starship command to investigate an unknown temporal anomaly.
Upon arriving at the anomaly, the player meets Q, who immediately explains that a full-on temporal anomaly crisis has begun throwing people, places, and objects from other timelines (including the mirror universe) into this one. Currently, the version of Q relating missions in-game is the aged persona of Q seen in Picard season 2.
