Star Trek Tactical Assault

Star Trek Tactical Assault Description

Bethesda Studios brings Star Trek to your early morning bus/train ride into work with Tactical Assault on the DS. This tactical shooter brings the familiar setting of the original series to life as you think and fight your way through a galactic conflict. Players command ships ranging from frigates to dreadnought class behemoths in battles that will demand as much cunning and forward planning as they will quick reflexes. In the primary game, you'll take command of either a Federation or Klingon ship and fight your way through story-driven campaigns. There's a healthy dose of real time strategy mixed in with the phaser-firing, torpedo-tossing action, so don't expect to be able to whip your ship around and take down your opponent simply by having nimble fingers. You'll need to know your enemy's weaknesses (as well as your own) to take them apart piece by piece. You'll also have your own living, breathing crew. Well, not quite living or breathing, but they'll be as close as you're likely to get on a console. Managing them will play a crucial part of your strategy. Promoting a navigator, for example, will increase your manoeuvrability while promoting an engineer will improve repair times. Also thrown into the mix for good measure is Multiplayer Mode. Using the DS wi-fi functionality, players can compete head-to-head.

• Based on the films of The Original Series - Space is the final frontier, Kirk is in command, and the Klingons are the bad guys. Play through the era that started it all with this classic Star Trek game.
  
  
• Real-time combat involving multiple warships - The true test of a Captain is his ability to act under fire. Every second counts as you attempt to out-maneuver enemy warships and expose their weaknesses while protecting your own.
  
  
• Two full campaign modes - Become a hero of the Federation or a champion of the Klingon Empire in two full-length, independent campaigns.
  
  
• Branching missions with multiple outcomes - You are in command. As Captain, it is up to you to make decisions for the good of your Empire. With a multitude of paths to choose from, you will decide the direction and ultimate outcome of your campaign.
  
  
• Head-to-Head wireless multiplayer - Test your skills and tactics against the most challenging opponents you'll find your friends.
  
  
• Five playable races - In Skirmish and Multiplayer modes, command ships from the Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Gorn, and Orion fleets. Each fleet has its own combat philosophy, strengths, and weaknesses. Tactics that lead to victory for one race will result in disaster for another.
