Or you can be the Federation dorks, of course. It offers the fun thought that the Rommies and the Ker-plunk are all having their own versions of the Enterprise's adventures, but with a totally different ideological approach. It has me deciding what's the most appropriate thing to do and what's in character.įirst contact also requires an ongoing commitment and several decisions, or can be cut short when the 'minor' species reaches out and demands a response (my Romulan sensibilities say 'they can eat my triangular hole'). I could actually have relocated the survivors, but by then I imagined there was only one guy left on the planet and I wanted to see what he'd do. My colony was rendered 90% uninhabitable, and then it was hit by a fourth disaster. At one point I had a colony hit by three catastrophes in a row, involving threats so major even non-viewers may recognise them. That's often not the end of it, as many lead to branching chains, sometimes even rewarding an apparently reckless choice with a second boon later. They're typically framed like the premise of an episode - a soldier has a mystery infection, a planet is making strange noises, the inhabitants of a colony have disappeared - and ask for a response, often rewarding your choice of resources or bonuses. Random events afflict colonies and people, and alien factions generate oddities too, bringing up sometimes optional event chains if poked (and sometimes if ignored). Surveying stars reveals resources for mining, and anomalies to investigate. Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Paradox InteractiveĪppropriately, the game's biggest focus is on exploration. It's not exactly opaque, but there are lots of elements hidden away, not even mentioned by the optional help tips until you happen to notice the icon for trade routes or relocation. This is very much a game to dive into expecting to lose until you know what's going on. Instead I threw myself in, and stumbled into something resembling competence by excavating it bit by bit. If it had tried to tell me upfront about the details of, say, population management, I'd have probably been too overwhelmed to start. Admittedly, this is partly a result of its extremely limited tutorial (pre-release). I kept discovering more depth to Infinite. Of course, it has the advantage of riding the coattails of already-established fiction and maybe that's cheating a little, but the result is a sort of grand 4X that in most regards I've enjoyed more the longer I played it. 'Lets you play your own Star Trek story' is a fair summary of what it's about, even if the bulk of that story in practical terms is building space stations to claim territory, and filling up planets with farms, cities, and empire-specific labour camps, forums, and whatever hippie garbage the feds have. It is not the ultimate Star Trek strategy game, but nor is it a bog standard 4X strategy in an unfortunate 80s leotard. I'm honestly a little surprised by how much I'm enjoying Star Trek: Infinite.
