Despite some hypothetically quick mission times, you can easily invest several hours alone trying to beat the last two campaign missions. That’s not to say you can’t have your ‘captain-y moments’ in the beginning campaign with your friends though, but when the goings get tough, role-playing that Starfleet swagger quickly deflates in front of the very real barrier of 2 Klingon warships and 4 scouts coming in for the kill.Īnd even though the game promises only 5 ‘episodes’ that range from 20-30 minutes of gameplay a piece, the difficulty level spikes significantly around the last two missions, so be prepared for the likelihood of an entire play session getting scrapped because you didn’t get a critical instrument back on-line while taking heavy fire.

Piloting the fictional vessel, dubbed the U.S.S. Stepping back a bit from my affection of the many iterations of Star Trek universes-explored in the recent re-boot films and older TV series spanning back to Star Trek (1966), aka “The Original Series” (ToS) -what I experienced in the last few days with Bridge Crew was a profound realization that I am not a Federation captain, not yet anyway. Wherever you may fall on the spectrum of Trek fandom, Bridge Crew promises more than just a genuine Trek experience with its exciting gameplay and social component that is sure to immerse.Īvailable On: Home (Oculus Touch), Steam (HTC Vive, Oculus Touch), PlayStation VR
