Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova Review

I’d call myself a mid-level trekkie (loved Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, can’t get into Discovery or Picard), but I’m now questioning that label thanks to Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova. Honestly, I had no idea that Star Trek Prodigy, the TV series that this game is based on, even existed. But it’s there, squirreled away on Paramount+ and aimed at younger viewers. I hang my head in shame and hand in my Starfleet lapel pin. 

Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is the latest game to come from the collaboration between Paramount+ and Outright Games, a deal that has already produced Dreamworks Dragons: Legends of the Nine Realms . It’s also the twenty-millionth game that Outright seem to have unleashed in the past few months, having furnished the holiday period with L.O.L Surprise! B.B.s BORN TO TRAVEL , PAW Patrol: Grand Prix and the previously mentioned Dragons game, among DLC to their other games. But rather than spreading themselves thin, Outright Games are onto something of a quality run. And Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova, rather than bringing the run to a screeching halt, keeps it going. 

It’s the age-old tale of a starship crash-landing on a planet about to be subsumed by a supernova. Even more thrillingly, the crew of said starship has been teleported out, willy-nilly, across various planets before the crash. It leaves you, Dal R’El and Gwyndala, racing against time to save the crew, fix the Starship Protostar, and yeet out of the system before everyone becomes stardust. But that’s not all! This system has been enslaved by an old nemesis of yours, and they’re harvesting the planets for as much energy as they can before it’s not there anymore.

Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova attempts to straddle the grown-up themes of conventional Star Trek, and the attention levels of your average teen, and it gets there, just about. We’re personally not fans of the Marvel-like tone, with everyone quipping like there’s no tomorrow, defusing any potential drama by joking about it (the simmering romance also makes us wince), but there’s a surprising epicness to proceedings, and the themes of slavery and isolationism are a little heavier than you might have expected. It’s actually too talky, in our view, pausing the action too often when we wanted a greater flow. But it’s far from poor quality.

What this is welded onto is an adventure-puzzle game that reminds us a little of Lara Croft: Temple of Osiris , the zoomed out, co-op take on the Tomb Raider universe. Like that game, Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is unashamedly co-op, to the point that playing it solo feels like you are losing something of the experience. When playing alone, you are constantly tapping B to switch to the other player, when there’s a much greater energy and flow that comes from playing together. If you can find another trekkie, it’s the optimum way to play. 

It also shares Temple of Osiris’s viewpoint and mix of combat and puzzling. Roughly one-third of Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is fighting, which feels about right: Star Trek has always liked a wrestling match with a Gorn, but it’s predominantly cerebral, and so it goes. We expected the combat to be slight and repetitive, and – you know what – it really does knock it out of the park. We’re not talking Devil May Cry here, but there’s substance that we really didn’t expect. 

Much of the strategy comes from whether you fight close-quarters or at range. The Watchers, the game’s one and only enemy, swarm you, and the latter parts of the game become a firework display of grenades, lasers, charging attacks and explosive death rattles. You’re always on the move, switching between the two attack types, and even switching characters in single-player, as both Dal R’El and Gwyndala have their specialisms. Negotiating this chaos is great fun, and – while there are safety nets in the form of revives and extra life points – it can get pretty challenging. We found ourselves hitting the deck more times than we expected. 

But the real reason we like the combat is the choice of weapons. There are three per character, and they are decently inventive and pack quite the punch. Our favourite was a phaser rifle that would absolutely leather the enemies, and we’d swing it round at speed like we were playing a twin-stick shooter. But, equally, there are power-fists that Gwyndala uses that can be charged by holding X, leaping over enemies, or a lance that cuts through Watchers like metallic butter. A lot of work has gone into making these punchy, and it’s time well spent. There’s more heft to the combat than it has any right to have. 

Which makes it all the more bewildering that upgrading your combat abilities is so slimline. It’s a bit arse, really, and could have added another dimension with very little work at all. At various points in the campaign, you are arbitrarily told that a weapon can be upgraded. There are three levels of upgrade, and they just dink up the speed or strength. Slightly better are some holodeck challenges that improve your crewmate powers (an automatically triggered effect that deals AOE damage), but those crewmate powers were poor to start off with, and we often forgot they were there. 

Away from combat, Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova expects you to think. As you move through chunky, lovingly realised environments, you are often confronted with laser walls and blocked corridors. You are stuck, and your aim is to become unstuck. Often, this means utilising the two characters’ skillsets. Dal R’El can lift up fallen pillars, allowing Gwyndala to duck underneath, or he can don a camouflage suit and escape the view of cameras. Gwyndala, meanwhile, has a disturbing arm-tentacle ability that can create a bridge for Dal R’El. Helping each other through the levels is one flavour of the cooperation.

The other is blocks. Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova absolutely loves a cube: enough that we expected it to feature in the title somewhere. There are heavy blocks, light-emitting blocks, teleporting blocks and switch blocks. There are small blocks and big blocks. You push them, drop them off cliffs, drop them onto switches or teleport them across an arena. This is all in the name of environmental puzzles, and, by golly, there is an endless number of them in Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova. 

Now, your reaction to this may differ. The puzzles are supremely well designed: they escalate in difficulty, and no layout is the same as another. They wring every last drop out of cube-based puzzling. But there is an opportunity for fatigue here, and we can imagine teenage trekkies with their Vulcan ears on, slamming down the pad and huffing off to their bedroom, cursing the ‘sodding blocks’. We love a good Sokoban-puzzler , and even we were starting to get sick of all the similar puzzles. Heaven knows what Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova will feel like for players who like combat, but couldn’t give a flying tribble for puzzles. 

More so than perhaps any Outright Games title that we’ve played, there is a deal of substance to Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova. Levels can run to thirty minutes in length, and there are plentiful secrets to find in nooks and crannies (although we’d have opted for an upgrade system that better used them). You’re looking at close to ten hours of gameplay here, particularly if you are chasing medals for strong performance in the level. And Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova needed to be substantial: it’s an expensive little title, coming to £44.99 – a world of prices that no Outright Game has ever gone before. 

Is Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova worth that outlay? Yes, but with some directives. One, bring a second-in-command. This has been designed from the ground up for two players. Two, prepare yourselves for long bouts of puzzling. This isn’t the action-packed romp that you might expect. And three, fans of the series are going to get so much more from the experience. For our part, the goofy dialogue had us wrinkling our nose so much that we looked like a Klingon. 

We expected Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova to arrive in a red shirt, virtually dead on arrival. Instead, we’ve got a game with substance and style, and there’s nothing more Star Trek than that.

Critic reviews for star trek prodigy: supernova, nintendo life.

For Trek-starved fans with Nintendo consoles, Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova does a good job - far better than you might expect - of channelling the show's spirit and appeal into a light, kid-friendly co-op adventure with plenty of puzzles. By tapping into those Trek tenets of friendship, cooperation, and problem-solving as a team, Tessera Studios has created something far closer in spirit to the series than any dry space sim, even if (much like the inexperienced crew running the Protostar) it can often feel a little rough around the edges. It's not set to stun, then, but it shows plenty of promise, especially if you have young cadets eager to enlist.

Read full review

The poor writing and bad direction don't take away too much from the co-op action of this cartoon tie-in. Fans of the show will definitely get more out of it than non-fans.

NintendoWorldReport

Fans of the series will also find plenty to enjoy from familiar characters. While combat can get a little repetitive, the puzzles are genuinely inventive. Ultimately whether a trekkie or not, Supernova provides a reasonably solid experience with fun multiplayer that is approachable for everyone.

Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova represents an effort to engage the children's audience not only on TV screens, but also in video games. But for that, it brings too little interesting content, and moreover, the stereotype immediately sets in. So you only have a five-hour journey across 3 planets, where you do the same thing over and over. Moreover, with glitches and a bad camera work.

Rapid Reviews UK

Star Trek as a franchise has gone through quite the revival over the last few years. With shows like ‘Star Trek: Picard’, ‘Star Trek: Discovery’, and ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ to entertain adult “Trekkies”. Not content with leaving Star Trek to the mature crowd, Alex Kurzman has delivered his extended universe to the younger generation too.

Star Trek: Prodigy Supernova has an enjoyable gameplay loop that, undoubtedly, is best enjoyed in local co-op and played with a fan of the show. It doesn’t break new ground in the platforming space and certainly isn’t among the best Star Trek games, but the story really befits the characters and the game stayed fresh enough to remain interesting over the long term.

LadiesGamers.com

For some, the game might be a bit prescriptive. But it’s based on an animated children’s TV programme, so it needs to be playable and enjoyable for that audience. This would be a great introduction to the adventure puzzle genre for younger players. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed playing it. I didn’t need to know anything about the TV series to engage fully with Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova.

Cheapness and slight amount of jank aside, Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is actually a pretty decent game.

Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova (Switch) Review

by John Rairdin - October 14, 2022, 9:19 am EDT Discuss in talkback!

An entry point for a new next generation.

Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova, in keeping with its namesake, is a kid focused take on the Star Trek Universe. Much like the animated series upon which it is based, it provides an accessible entry point for a younger audience into the expansive Star Trek series. Featuring the full voice cast of the show, including Kate Mulgrew reprising her role as a hologram of Katherine Janeway, Supernova feels very much in the same tone as Star Trek Prodigy itself. As a game Supernova nails exactly what it is going for but only rarely goes above and beyond. As a result it harkens back to an age of regular lower budget game tie-ins that while often rough around the edges, carried with them a fair bit of charm.

For those completely unfamiliar with the show. Star Trek Prodigy tells the story of a group of young escaped prisoners, who find freedom on a stolen Federation starship. The ship itself is a Starfleet training vessel where the young crew ultimately are taught the values of Starfleet and the Federation as they attempt to escape their former captors. Supernova itself takes place during the first season of the show so there isn’t too much backstory to catch up on. The story is accessible however a working knowledge of Stark Trek Prodigy will certainly make it more enjoyable. An understanding of the greater Star Trek universe is not needed in the slightest, and only serves to provide light chuckles when characters reference various species passingly in dialogue. Much of this feels more like a madlib with Star Trek names inserted than meaningful dialogue, but where else are you going to find reference to the Xindi outside of Season 3 of Star Trek Enterprise, so I’ll give it a pass.

Supernova is a top-down, level-based, adventure game with a strong focus on combat and puzzle solving. You play as Dal and Gwyn, either by alternating between them or cooperatively in local multiplayer. Levels play out across a series of linear stages on one of three different planets. While the path through each stage is generally straight forward with little need to backtrack, plenty of hidden collectibles and unlockables are strewn throughout. You’ll also collect breakable crystals as you go which can be traded in for upgrades back on the Protostar (your ship). These upgrades are purchased from the other members of your crew, who must be rescued before you’ll have access to their upgrades. Rescued crew members also aid you in combat. After you’ve dealt out enough damage the unique ability of whatever crew member you have assigned to your character will kick in. Combat in general however is probably the weakest aspect of Supernova. The controls often feel clunky, with dashes used for dodging attacks taking a moment too long to register. Enemy unit types are also limited and combat encounters tend to feel repetitive very quickly. Puzzle solving on the other hand stands out as a strength. Many of these deal with manipulating the flow of energy through various conduits, but almost every stage introduces some new mechanic for how you’re able to do this. Later puzzles, though not too baffling, become genuinely expansive and require both characters working in tandem to solve.

Presentation on a whole is reasonably good for what is obviously a limited budget. Despite each planet being used repeatedly, individual levels look somewhat distinct and the underlying art blends fantastically with the style of Star Trek Prodigy. Sound design is a bit less impressive. While the game is fully voiced, dialogue subtitles are often entirely wrong, likely due to actors improvising on the given script. The sound mix by default also places dialogue and sound effects so far above the music that for the first couple stages I didn’t think there was any. I’d recommend leaving music at 10 but turning sound and voices down to about 6.

Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is a straightforward, easy to understand adventure game that does its job of being approachable for a younger audience. The inclusion of optional cooperative multiplayer locally on a single system earns it some bonus points for being playable with friends, siblings, or parents. Fans of the series will also find plenty to enjoy from familiar characters. While combat can get a little repetitive, the puzzles are genuinely inventive. Ultimately whether a trekkie or not, Supernova provides a reasonably solid experience with fun multiplayer that is approachable for everyone.

• Canon though standalone story
• Cooperative multiplayer
• Full original cast
• Solid puzzle design
• Clunky repetative combat
• Minor presentational issues
• References to larger Star Trek universe are comically forced

Star Trek: Prodigy: Supernova Game Review

A Star Trek video game geared toward a younger demographic that the whole family can enjoy.

Review: Star Trek: Prodigy: Supernova

It’s a rare treat when fans have new Star Trek video games to look forward to. Besides the ever-present and generally great Star Trek Online , standalone Star Trek video games just aren’t that common. Just think: the last such game was Star Trek: Bridge Crew , and understandably not everybody wanted to find a few people to play with while wearing VR headsets. Before Bridge Crew , it was Star Trek, released for consoles and PC in 2013 — and that game was only okay and it actually is no longer available for purchase on digital storefronts. Thanks, licensing.

Now, a new arrival on the scene gives gamers something to latch onto, and although Star Trek: Prodigy: Supernova is geared toward a younger demographic, we still walked away pleased enough with the result that we can say it’s worth picking up, especially if you have young ones using the second player control.  

Supernova is published by Outright Games, a company known for kids games of various IPs, and developed by Tessera Studios, a Spain-based studio that previously released Intruders: Hide and Seek , a VR-compatible stealth game. Supernova features the voice cast of the TV show, namely Kate Mulgrew as Hologram Janeway, Brett Grey as Dal, Ella Purnell as Gwyn, Rylee Alazraqui as Rok-Tahk, Angus Imrie as Zero, Jason Mantzoukas as Jankom Pog and Dee Bradley Baker as Murf. Having the entire cast on board is a huge plus and generally makes the game feel like it belongs in the Prodigy universe.

The game sees players try to repair the Protostar after crashing in a Dyson Sphere and finding the rest of the Protostar crew as they try to avert a star from collapsing. Not a bad plot as far as Star Trek goes, and we could easily picture such a scenario happening in any one of the Star Trek shows. We do recommend you watch or re-watch the existing Prodigy episodes, as this story references previous events in important ways.

The first thing you’ll notice about this game is that it feels like Prodigy . Besides the cast, the animation style of the TV show translates well enough to video game graphics, although don’t expect this game’s visuals to rival the gorgeous animation as seen on TV. Besides the introductory graphic novel-esque cutscene, the rest of the animation has that Prodigy feel.

Regarding the game’s presentation, there are a few cut corners – things like generic lip synch, oft-repeated voice lines (you’ll be hearing a lot of “Captain Dal, ready for action!”), some typos in the subtitles, video settings not saving, and buggy animations at times, but such polish generally falls by the wayside when targeting younger minds. Although we should note most of these minor criticisms are likely easily patchable should Tessera Studios care to do so.

One thing that hits the game’s presentation is the lack of icons for controllers. On the PC version, we were playing with an Xbox controller, but the game always showed generic white icons for the Xbox’s A, X, Y, and B buttons. More than a few people likely rely on seeing the color or letter of the button as much as its position on the controller, so this is a disappointing design choice.

Aiding the game’s presentation is a surprisingly great musical score. Sure, the Prodigy theme song is present when you first start the game and at key points during gameplay, but a sweeping orchestral score helps add moodiness and emotion to the game. Having a notable score is something we totally didn’t expect from this “kids’ game,” so it’s a welcome addition.

For those more serious gamers, we just want to note how unexpectedly happy we were at how well Supernova performs. Our review code was for Steam, and we found Supernova works easily with ultrawide setups right from the start, and the game supports high frame rates no problem. While keyboard/mouse support is available, we found the twin-stick style gameplay feels better on a controller, and you can swap between the two forms of input on the fly.

As you could gather from various trailers, Supernova is a top-down twin stick shooter, where, if playing solo, you can switch between Dal and Gwyn as they shoot, slash, and puzzle-solve their way through the environment. If you are playing co-op, which we highly recommend you do, one player controls Dal and one controls Gwyn. Local co-op is a rarity nowadays, so we are thrilled to see Tessera build their game around this feature. If you’re not playing co-op, the game’s AI does a decent job of controlling the other player when needed, although you’ll be switching between the two characters fairly often and won’t have to rely on AI to progress through the game.

While there is not too much in the way of gameplay variety, there’s enough to occupy younger gamers. Dal is stronger with his ranged weapons than his melee weapon, and Gwyn is vice versa, so that helps inform how you can approach battles. These battles usually contain multiple forms of Watchers, an enemy familiar to Prodigy fans. You can also explore the environment to discover collectibles and harvest as many crystals as you can to upgrade your weapons. When you aren’t on one of three planets, you can explore the Protostar. We would have loved to see an Elite Force Virtual Voyager-esque free roam option, but unfortunately Supernova limits you to three rooms: the bridge, a room that houses all your collectibles, and the holodeck.

As you progress through the story, your crew can help you in combat, which is a neat touch that helps the feeling of comradery among the Protostar crew. However, if Tessera Studios makes another Prodigy- based game, we would love to see the crew more equally represented. For now, this is definitely a mostly Dal and Gwyn affair, as they are the only playable characters.

Supernova offers a standard action-adventure game progression system that kids might already be used to based on their previous video game exposure. Explore enough of the environment and you’ll be rewarded with upgrades and collectibles. While fighting, you need to keep an eye on your ranged weapon to make sure it doesn’t overheat. While adults may not find the game too involved, the important thing is that these systems are easily digestible and won’t be an impediment to young players. There is even reason to go back and replay the game’s levels, as each mission awards you accolades for completing certain challenges, including beating a level in so many minutes, something you won’t likely do the first time around.

Taken together, Supernova is a respectable entry point for kids in the Star Trek gaming space. The spirit of the show is carried pretty well into this game’s story, and younger and older players will surely have fun tackling missions together. Don’t expect an AAA-level of polish here, and there are some critiques we would hope Tessera addresses in a future patch.

So, let’s revel in a new Star Trek game arriving on our hard drives, and enjoy some time with our younger family members. Supernova seems to fit the bill in this way.

Star Trek: Prodigy: Supernova is available now digitally on the respective PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch storefronts, and on Amazon for Xbox (digital code), Xbox (physical), Switch (physical), and PlayStation 4 (physical). There doesn’t seem to be a PS5 Amazon listing for the game at this time.

Review – Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova

I tend to learn quite a lot from modern cartoons and what’s trending among the younger crowd with the titles published by Outright Games. Without their titles, I wouldn’t have known about cartoon adaptations of Spirit and The Fast & Furious , for instance. It also shocks me to find out that almost every single show being aired nowadays happens to be a derivative spinoff of something much older than even its core audience, in a clear case of the death of new ideas. But I’m not here to talk about existentialism or complain about “things being better back in the day”. I’m here to talk about the brand new Star Trek (yes, really) game released for modern consoles, courtesy of Outright and Tessera Games: Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova .

Combat is beyond simplistic, but still enjoyable. Just like in the Lego series of games.

I had to do a bit of research in order to understand where does Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova (as well as its source of inspiration, the Star Trek Prodigy cartoon series) fit into the massive(ly convoluted) Star Trek canon. I have to say, I complain a lot about the new directions taken by the Star Wars franchise, but I have to be glad they are nowhere near as confusing as what Alex Kurtzman has done with Star Trek . The fact that Star Trek Prodigy is a straight sequel to Star Trek: Voyager , aired between 1995 and 2001, is just one of many questions I have in my head after finding out about the cartoon series and playing Supernova .

Thankfully, as a game as a whole, Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova isn’t terrible. In fact, it might actually be one of the best Star Trek games released in decades. Granted, it mostly achieves that by simply not sucking, but all in all, it is a fun little title, which takes advantage of a tried and true gameplay formula that, weirdly enough, has never been attempted by anyone else other than its main creators: the Lego games.

I don’t mean that Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is a cathartic and OCD-infused collectathon like the Lego games, as amazing as that would have been. It’s mostly due to its gameplay loop. Remember how the older Lego games were fixed-camera action-adventure/platforming hybrids with an emphasis on simple puzzle and combat sections, resource collecting, and optional co-op? Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is pretty much that, with decent controls, excellent framerate, and a similar, albeit smaller in scope, gameplay loop. And it gets the job done.

It’s not a challenging or innovative game, but it gets the job done with honors.

The game revolves around rescuing the crew of the USS Protostar, which crashed on a planet whose star is set to go supernova in a few terrestrial days. You go from level to level, gathering new crew members, which can then be used in previous levels in order to reach previously unreachable areas, just like Free Play mode in any given Lego game. Enemies are pretty easy to deal with, and puzzles usually center around picking up an energy cube and placing it on top of a switch, unlocking a door.

Keep doing this until you reach the end of the game. In the meantime, you’ll also have the chance to talk to your crew members, all voiced by the cast of the show itself. That also includes Kate Mulgrew reprising her role of (the hologram of) Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager , easily the highlight of the game as a whole. Sadly, the great voice acting is hampered by something that is present in pretty much every game published by Outright: poor sound mixing. I get that the voice acting is a highlight, but it overshadows everything else in the game’s sound department, turning the soundtrack into something barely worth noticing.

The other main issue I had with Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova was its visuals. I appreciate that the game runs at a blistering fast 60fps, and it does take advantage of the PS5’s SSD structure to pretty much not have loading times at all, but damn, what an ugly game. Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova looks, at best, like a mid-tier licensed game from the PS2 era, with some really underwhelming character models. It doesn’t help that the game is based on a CGI cartoon, so you can basically look at each character, do a quick Google Images search in order to find out what they were supposed to look like, and notice the shocking compromises taken in order to put them into the game.

Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova looks like a mid-tier licensed PS2 game at best, sadly. Just look at the underwhelming Janeway model.

Cheapness and slight amount of jank aside, Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is actually a pretty decent game. It does what no other game has done so far, for some weird reason: it takes the core gameplay loop from the Lego games in order to create an easy-going action adventure for a younger demographic. It has everything needed to please fans of the show: an original story tied to the series’ canon, decent controls, and the show’s cast all reprising their roles, Captain Janeway included. 

Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

Star Trek: Prodigy Supernova Game Review

It’s been some time since we’ve had a new Star Trek video game. Thankfully, Star Trek: Prodigy Supernova releases today. Set around the hit animated kids’ show Star Trek: Prodigy , the game follows two of the series’ main characters. Players can also expect to encounter familiar faces such as Hologram Captain Kathryn Janeway. However, is this a good game for players of all ages or younger audiences?

Styled as the first-ever family-friendly Star Trek game, Supernova aims at younger players. As someone slowly growing out of the “young” category, I was unsure how I would find the gameplay. Additionally, this is the best time for the game’s release. Star Trek: Prodigy is set to return with ten episodes on October 27th. We’ve already heard how Prodigy engages younger audiences towards the world of Star Trek .

Developed by Outright Games , Supernova is the first Star Trek video game in a long time. Diving into the core of Trek, players can expect to make first contact with aliens. Additionally, players can test themselves with puzzles and challenges. However, they will be assisted by the full cast of Star Trek: Prodigy , who reprise their roles. For example, Kate Mulgrew is back as Janeway, while Brett Gray voices his character of Dal.

The Supernova Storyline

So, where does the story take place? The Star Trek: Prodigy Supernova Game follows from when we left our heroes at the end of Season One, episode 10. One thing we learn, The Diviner is somewhat back. Well, his “Watchers” are. They were seen in the game’s trailers. However, they make a delightful enemy to combat in-game. The main story revolves around the game’s title, Supernova . The crew and USS Protostar wander into a system that will soon go supernova via its Dyson sphere star.

Already within the first two hours of gameplay, we’re teased with a mystery. This storyline engaged me well. It’s the type of story we’d expect in Star Trek: Prodigy . Supernova introduces this idea of “The Watchers” conquering a planet in The Diviner’s name. However, it seems something else might be going on. While the first 2 hours of the story do not give anything away, and I don’t want to spoil it, I’m engaged.

I’ve got to commend the game. It’s introducing us to a new story involving the Prodigy characters. While it seems like we might be done with “The Diviner”, “Drednok”, and “The Watchers” in Star Trek: Prodigy , the game brings them back in a refreshing way. It’s interesting to learn what The Diviner has been doing elsewhere in the galaxy. You know, before he became obsessed with looking for the USS Protostar.

Supernova Gameplay

As this game is aimed at younger players, the gameplay is kept simple. However, that does not mean it’s limiting or boring. While I keep trying to press “Shift” and accidentally swap characters, that is due to me being used to FPS video games. However, Supernova combines Star Trek worldbuilding with effective gameplay. I’ve got to commend the designers on the maps in-game. Especially the USS Protostar. This is the closest we’ve gotten to walking around a Star Trek hero ship recently. It’s fantastic.

Hearing the Prodigy characters interact is fantastic. Via gameplay, we get commentary that adds to what we know. An example of this is Janeway saying, “I am fangirling”. Now be honest. No one expected Captain Janeway to say that. Well, Hologram Janeway does upon Gwyn’s discovery of libraries. The Star Trek: Prodigy Supernova Game also has a great mission collection system. Players can collect items to display in the Protostar’s captain room. Including Deep Space Nine , The Phoenix warp rocket and Michael Burnham’s time suit. Great references.

Initially, I was worried the puzzles might be a little easy. However, I was surprised when some actually made me step back and think. Therefore I think this aspect of gameplay will be a nice challenge for fans of all ages. Combating the watchers is good. However, I quickly got tired of it in the first 2 hours of gameplay. Some parts of shooting the same guy repeatedly in the same circumstances got rather tedious. However, this is the nature of games like this.

Our Thoughts Star Trek: Prodigy Supernova

Star Trek: Prodigy as a show is about introducing younger audiences to Star Trek . Therefore teaching some of Star Trek’s values in new ways. One of the common ones is always climate change and looking after the planet. It’s a major issue for us in the world right now. However, I was pleasantly surprised while playing the game to find it touches on the issue. Through in-game dialogue, we learn the planet you start on dried up due to Global Warming. Janeway references the 21st century.

I’ve got to commend the soundtrack of the game. Whether it is ambient music while sitting on the main menu or mission-specific tracks, it feels like we’re inside Star Trek: Prodigy , but it is still original to the game itself. Overall the game does feel like we’ve just stepped into the series. The sounds and character voices add to the authenticity of gameplay and storytelling. My only concern is when it comes to the game’s combat. As I mentioned earlier, the repetitiveness of it could bore some.

The graphics of the game are something to talk about. While the in-game graphics and cut scenes are fantastic, I was disappointed by the opening cinematic. However, I can put this down to myself and the players being used to the cinematic quality of the series. But loading In and seeing only storyboard cut scenes are a little bit of an odd choice. Though I guess it does make sense for the sake of the story and target audience.

The Star Trek: Prodigy Supernova Game officially releases today, October 14th. Players can purchase it for PlayStation 4® , PlayStation 5 , Nintendo Switch™ , Xbox One , Xbox X|S, and Steam. Originally the game was set to release on the Stadia platform. However, Google recently announced that Stadia would shut down as a platform and service. The game is a perfect gift for show fans approaching the holiday season. Young or old.

Star Trek: Prodigy returns to screens on October 27th via Paramount+. At New York Comic Con 2022, it was revealed that actor Ronny Cox will guest star in the series. He’ll reprise his character of Edward Jellico from Star Trek: The Next Generation . A novel based on the game’s story is coming in January 2023. Written by Robb Pearlman.

Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova

La série Nickelodeon a été élargie avec son propre jeu dérivé, qui voit même les acteurs de la série reprendre leurs rôles respectifs.

Subscribe to our newsletter here!

Les jeux vidéo adaptés aux jeunes et aux enfants ont fait des pas de géant au fil des ans. Grâce à des éditeurs comme Outright Games, nous avons des projets qui se sentent fidèles et fidèles à leur matériel source, et offerts d’une manière qui est également engageante et d’une qualité que même le public plus âgé peut apprécier pour ce qu’ils sont. C’est le cas de Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova, un jeu d’action basé sur la série animée Nickelodeon et qui voit même les membres de la distribution reprendre leurs rôles pour offrir une authenticité supplémentaire.

L’histoire tourne autour du jeune équipage du Protostar, alors qu’ils poursuivent leurs voyages dans l’espace. L’équipe, dirigée par le capitaine Dal R’El (Brett Gray) et Gwyndala (Ella Purnell), tombe sur un système comprenant trois planètes qui menacent d’être détruites par l’étoile centrale, qui est poussée à devenir une supernova. En arrivant à ce système, le vaisseau Protostar est attaqué et se retrouve bientôt à atterrir sur l’une des trois planètes en voie de disparition, l’équipage étant capturé et retenu captif à différents endroits. Vous devez mener Dal et Gwyn dans une quête pour réparer la protoétoile, sauver les membres de l’équipage, puis empêcher l’étoile de devenir supernova pour sauver les espèces qui habitent les planètes environnantes.

Bien que l’histoire soit basique, elle a suffisamment d’intrigue et de mystère pour divertir, en particulier le jeune public qui aura du mal à saisir les rebondissements les plus typiques et prévisibles de l’intrigue. Il a tous les rythmes de Star Trek, avec des adversaires inhabituels et extraterrestres et une tâche écrasante et urgente à surmonter, le tout animé par des tonnes de jargon de science-fiction.

Quant au gameplay proprement dit, il est plutôt basique dans la conception et tourne autour de deux concepts principaux. D’une part, il y a les énigmes environnementales que vous devrez résoudre pour pouvoir continuer à progresser dans un niveau. Ceux-ci pourraient être l’utilisation des capacités de Dal et Gywn pour s’aider mutuellement à surmonter les obstacles et les dangers, ou pourraient être dus à déplacer des blocs et à réacheminer les lignes électriques pour surmonter les obstacles électriques. La variété n’est pas vraiment beaucoup, mais les énigmes sont d’une difficulté assez difficile pour qu’elle soit difficile mais pas frustrante pour les plus jeunes.

L’autre partie du concept principal tourne autour de scénarios de combat, qui demandent à Dal et Gywn de frapper, frapper et tirer sur différents ennemis extraterrestres. Alors que beaucoup seront des créatures robotiques ressemblant à des araignées connues sous le nom de Watchers, il y a aussi des moments où la flore indigène entre dans l’action, ce qui crée un autre danger à éviter et à conquérir. Le combat est assez fluide et simple, les principaux défis se résumant à synchroniser parfaitement le mouvement d’esquive pour pouvoir éviter les frappes rapides et les projectiles entrants. C’est, comme les puzzles, le défi parfait pour le jeune public.

Bien que j’aime l’équilibre entre la perplexité et le combat, je dirai que le seul domaine qui me frustre est l’équilibre entre Dal et Gywn. Le gameplay vous demande souvent de basculer entre les deux pour guider l’autre à travers un danger ou un blocage, et le problème est que l’IA peut être si stupide et inintelligible que le personnage que vous ne contrôlez pas reste coincé ou va dans un endroit où vous ne le voulez pas, ce qui signifie que le gameplay semble souvent répétitif car vous devez vous répéter beaucoup pour amener les deux personnages là où ils doivent être. C’est un problème qui peut être résolu en donnant au personnage non contrôlé par le joueur un peu plus d’initiative et de bon sens. Cela rendrait simplement le gameplay plus fluide, d’avoir votre allié suivant pour pouvoir accomplir des tâches de base telles que d’appuyer sur des boutons en même temps que le personnage principal, par exemple. Il est clair que le jeu est conçu pour deux joueurs, et lorsque vous plongez en solo, vous en voulez un peu plus.

Bien que mon temps de test de Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova ait été pré-publié, il faut dire que j’ai rencontré pas mal de bugs et de problèmes, dont beaucoup n’ont été corrigés qu’en rechargeant simplement le jeu ou en le redémarrant entièrement. Certains des problèmes provenaient d’ennemis coincés hors de portée d’attaque, d’autres étant des points d’interaction n’apparaissant pas. Cela devient un peu frustrant, étant donné que Prodigy: Supernova n’est pas un titre extrêmement complexe en premier lieu, donc lorsque les quelques systèmes de jeu qu’il offre se cassent ou échouent, vous ne pouvez pas vous empêcher de le remarquer vraiment.

Dans l’ensemble, cependant, j’ai beaucoup apprécié mon temps avec ce jeu. Il est très simple et direct à plonger et a suffisamment de charme et de caractère pour que vous puissiez vous perdre dans le monde et la narration. Les systèmes de progression et les objets de collection de chaque niveau fournissent également une raison suffisante pour revenir en arrière et rejouer les anciens niveaux, et la façon dont la coopération est offerte avec un système de récompense compétitif à la fin d’un niveau qui célèbre quel joueur a vaincu le plus d’ennemis et a obtenu le moins de KO et ainsi de suite, signifie que vous et un membre de votre famille / ami pouvez continuer à vous amuser longtemps après avoir atteint la fin de l’histoire. Mais il convient de noter à nouveau qu’il s’agit d’un jeu conçu pour les jeunes fans et qu’il n’attirera pas tout à fait les joueurs expérimentés, en raison de ses éléments de conception de base du gameplay. Ceux qui cherchent à occuper les enfants pendant quelques jours, cependant, ne cherchez pas plus loin.
