“Beam me up Scotty” is a text that you expect every time when playing the new game Star Command. Finally the long awaited simulation game in which you take as a captain in charge of a spaceship, released on the iPhone and iPad. Who grew up with Star Trek, is really no different than the idea of ??the game disposed towards a warm heart. In Star Command you hire staff, run battles against other ships and protect your ship from aliens that burst and blow everything to smithereens.

Adventure thirty percent

Star Command is ultimately still become a thirty percent of the original idea that the three developers of the game intended; roughly seen a total simulation of what happens in the series Star Trek. The game is finally released, limited to travel from destination to destination with your ship, entering into communication and battles with other ships, protecting your ship against intruders, but above all the use of your crew on the various spaces in your ship. You yourself are the captain. If you die, for example invaders in the ship, your mission is over.

nice that Star Command for a narrative tone has chosen. It was pretty easy random challenges may contain, but the game gets higher. So your mission trip in two example off to Mars, where you’ll find an abandoned ship and approaches. Who later turns out to be filled with zombies that you only have to hit. Equally from you The nice thing is that confrontations with other ships and introductions of emissions associated with movies and dialogues. Besides the story also gives the soundtrack Star Command feel that you are working with more than a simple construction mission. It really feels like an adventure.

Rooms

building

The new simulation game is emphatically not a game dotted with in-app purchases. You pay once for the game and then no longer have to deal with blockages because you have to invest in one or the other. You can therefore immediately carefree started with the construction of the first areas where you have a choice of scientific, technical and protective rooms. The rooms are responsible for the development of the ship, one protective armory for example, has more momentum but requires explicit development of the ammunition which he is rapidly deployable, in another room, you can quickly choose between a room that enemy attacks less harmful makes, or a deck that makes it difficult for vulnerable aliens. You take crew on, select a character and press the central button at the bottom. Thus you assign a new task and set the r oles of the ship in operation.

Crew with a name

You can

crew takes you, with a name so that you develop with a more personal connection. That is contagious, we saw earlier in the PC game Rollercoaster Tycoon. ‘ Your best friend has bought an ice cream ‘ however is of a different order than your friends turn against aliens after they are shot. To pulp Star Command is relentless: as long as you have no room to awaken crew members back to life you are traveling in droves down. However, with minigames you got there does affect. Star Command explains the initially poor, but the weapons and the actions of damage minigames where you can cause damage to the enemy. Yourself more damage by timing In battles between spaceships can also take a look at how the opponent it far. Sometimes, however, it may be a while before you even see progression, despite status bars include your shield top beed. Command Star is sometimes as tough as Star Trek.

probe Thoughtful

But

Star Command is not a game for just a moment to pick up. Like previous simulation games with a gross pixel style – think Tiny Tower and Pocket Planes, it takes a while before you roll the space simulation. Especially since the game is also more penetrating than those mentioned games. Upgrading rooms, your crew, getting new specialties and making choices which you may or may not get from various aliënsoorten against you, you do not just with two fingers in the nose. And if you are the first missions with the first ship to have brought to a successful conclusion, then wait there are still three larger vessels with greater challenges. You can be busy with Star Command.
