While the past few months have seen everyone talk about nothing but Star Wars, there is another Star named franchise that will be the talk of the town later this month. Star Trek Beyond will be showing this July, but you don’t have to wait until then to enjoy being a Trekkie once again. A new Android game called Star Trek Timelines lets you play in any of the series and movies (well, except the JJ Abrams ones) and with any of the characters from the franchise.
The RPG strategy game allows you to build your crew using any character from the five Star Trek TV shows and the first 10 films (as we said, excluding the first two JJ Abrams helmed and the upcoming one too). This includes The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise among others. You can also command some of the most iconic starships in the franchise like the USS Enterprise, a Klingon Bird of Prey, The Defiant, Voyager, Borg Cubes, etc.
In the course of the game, you get to explore the galaxy, build alliances with several factions like the Federation, the Maquis, the Dominion, and the Terran Empire, engage in 3D ship-to-ship battles, and several other action-filled features. The game of course uses original artwork reimagined for the game and even more stunning graphics.
You can download and play Star Trek Timelines from the Google Play Store for free. There are in-app purchases available but not necessary.
