Star Trek Timelines is easily one of the most faithful and detailed adaptations of the Star Trek universe available on mobile platforms. What makes the title immediately captivating for fans is its deep respect for lore—allowing players to bridge eras by placing Captain Picard, Spock, and Burnham together in the same Away Mission crew. The strategy lies in managing a vast roster of crew members, each with distinct traits and skill distributions across six key categories like Diplomacy, Science, and Security. Matching the right crew to complex narrative forks creates a satisfying loop of collection and optimization.
While the core gameplay rotates largely around menu navigation, resource management, and crew leveling, the tactical 3D ship-to-ship battles offer great visual flair. The game's long-term retention thrives on its Cryostasis Vault system and constant event updates, though casual players may find the inventory limits and stamina-style Chroniton energy system a bit restrictive over time. Overall, for Trek enthusiasts looking for deep faction mechanics and endless fan service, Star Trek Timelines is an essential download.
Assemble a crew featuring hundreds of characters from all Star Trek series and movies
Command famous starships in full 3D space battles
Gain influence across multiple factions including the Federation, Maquis, Dominion, and Section 31
Climb event leaderboards in weekly timed story missions for rare crew and ships
Start by recruiting your initial crew via the Time Portal and completing early Away Missions to learn skill checks. Focus on building a balanced roster covering Command, Diplomacy, Science, Engineering, Security, and Medicine to consistently succeed in story encounters.
Send your crew on daily Faction Shuttle Missions to build reputation with key powers like the Federation or Klingons while gathering crucial upgrade materials. Use the Cryostasis Vault to freeze fully leveled 5-star or duplicate crew members to preserve inventory space while maintaining your overall collection bonuses.
Away Missions require assigning crew based on specific skill traits like Medical or Diplomacy. Selecting crew members with matching traits unlocks bonus paths and hidden rewards during critical dialogue branches.
Command iconic vessels including the USS Enterprise, Borg Cube, and Klingon Bird-of-Prey in real-time ship-to-ship combat. Station crew members in ship seats to trigger powerful active abilities, shields, and attack multipliers during combat.
The primary objective is to build a powerful crew of Star Trek characters, resolve temporal anomalies across galaxy-wide missions, and command starships to protect the Alpha Quadrant.
Crew members can be recruited through the Time Portal using in-game currency (Dilithium or Honor), rewarded during weekly events, or earned by completing story chapters.
The best Star Trek MMORPG on mobile. The best Star Trek Experience since the one in Vegas shut down. Seriously, until someone makes a Star Trek dungeon crawler or top-down tactical game, this is as good a Star Trek mobile game as you will ever get. A little limited in visual frills (I’d love to see the interior of the Romulan ship my crew is moving through!) but that opens up the possibilities of the game. The feeling of command is real because you are choosing the right crew to send on away missions. You are responsible for training and advancing them. I’d like to see real faction events, where not only can you support just one faction, but you can only use crew from one faction. Imagine a true Klingon vs Federation event. But overall, the best mobile Trek game there is, or is likely to be. Graphics are top notch on my iPhone 7 and iPad Pro. I’ve found support (through the website, submitting a ticket) to be great. Some delays when there is heavy traffic. Could do with new episodes though. PLEASE. All in all, the most all encompassing Trek experience you’ll find on mobile.
I’ve been playing this game for a few months now. Being a Star Trek fan, I love the idea of collecting crew and ships from the various shows/movies. I also enjoy playing the events and other battles in the game. As with any app, there’s always a risk of glitches. Usually, it’s a simple matter of contacting the developer and they quickly get the issue solved. However, with this developer, I had an issue that I wrote to them about one week ago. The issue regarded something that involved something bought with real money. I got an initial response hours after sending in the support ticket, which is understandable. However, the response was basically that the company was correct and I was in the wrong. I responded within 2 hours of getting the response only to wait 22 hours for their response, which was that my request for a manager was passed on and they’d get to me in a few days. The manager basically repeated the previous email’s response and did not answer any of my further questions I asked in the second email. Now it’s been a week later and I still have no solution to an issue. Talking with other players, there’s been other issues with customer support not being helpful, blaming the issue on the player, and even worse in some cases. In the end, you should play the game if you like these types of games and also if you enjoy Star Trek. However, be aware that if you have an issue, whether it involves real money or not, you might not get helpful customer service.
I love Star Trek so much! I grew up on it which is why I want this game to be everything. It has a lot going for it but it is sorely lacking in some areas. First, it seems like the developers do not care about their customers and how much Star Trek means to them. There are some shady things going on. For instance, they have an arbitrary cap of 1,000 unique items and after 7 days if you are over that limit they start deleting your inventory. What they haven’t told anyone is that even if you try and build something to use up the unique inventory there is a bug that won’t use up lower level items. They are shady. The gauntlet is another aspect of shadiness. It is so rigged that even if you should beat the other player you don’t especially if it is the third time when your supposed to get a gift. Second, this is a collecting game even if the developers don’t want to admit it. People are here, collecting the cards and the developers are milking every sucker for all the money in the universe. It’s tempting. We love Star Trek and want the characters. Slow down on the introductions. Third, the ship schematics are useless and are just sitting there taking up space. Plus, they are a common get in packs which is annoying. Figure out additional ways of using them. In summation, I love Star Trek and I like this game. Just fix the issues and make it seem like you care about the fan base and customers.
I m a big fan of Star Trek and this game is just great. I've taken off two stars for two reasons. I'm a beginner and as a beginner the game is daunting with no real explanation of how things are best done. For instance when I get to the start of a ship battle some tips or information comes on the screen but disappears too quickly, so I get the first three words, not very helpful. The other star is because as someone who thinks logically, I know I'm never going to own this game so if I ever spend real money on it, it would have to be for a very good reason and it's not likely, so when I see the characters and boosts available to the players willing to spend it's frustrating. I get it that you have to make money and I'm really glad some people will spend, but it's still frustrating. Because of the fact that I'm a beginner when I entered my first event I was completely under prepared, I still have entered into some of the contests, but good grief I get plastered which is very discouraging. I'm really impressed that these reviews are actually responded to and as a big fan of Star Trek I will keep playing and see where it goes, I also think it should be as enjoyable to a solo player as it can be to a social player- there are plenty of people who like staying solo. Thanks for creating this game and making it available to players like me (with virtually stitched pockets!) :-))
I will be fair. This game is addictive to me but I am hoping the developers take some feedback as constructive. I love collecting characters but to get quality characters is limited. The shard collection system yields very weak items and characters. It is really not worth it to collect them. The ship collection system/leveling is unbalanced with the characters. For example I have several blue, purple and fortunately gold at 50 or above but the ship missions limit me as I only have one star ships 4 months I. PlYing daily. I understand that if I pay I will have better opportunities. What bothers me most about this game is that when I watch videos to collect rewards like at the Dani wheel nothing is given to me. The other game I play is Marvel Strike a force and when they realize there are errors they send fair prizes like significant energy. Or orbs to redeem character shards. I watch TNG, voyager, and deep space over and over and I love the premise of the game. I just wish the developers could send out some freebies, some hooks to keep the game exciting for FTP... I may pay like I did in strike force a year in when I found something worthy to pay for. Developers,.. you are on the w precipice of something great something Addictive and possibly lucrative a little restructuring and you are golden. - Long live and prosper!
First of all, this game was obviously made by people who grew up watching TOS, for some, or TNG for others, and maybe even Enterprise for some. It's chock full of the bronze-level-hardness sci-fi and semi-plausible plotlines of the TV serieses. There's a lot to love here, as you procure a Borg scout ship and staff it with, say, Kirk, Data and Florist Q (yes, that is a character you can acquire) and boldly go where thousands have gone before. But what's not to love is the absurdly vast number of characters in the game, with an equally absurdly vast array of possible traits and skills, and how often you will run into an objective on an Away mission that is locked to all 50 of your crewmen, except for that ONE level ten 1-star character that you never bothered to train or equip because, well, they're USELESS, except for that one Away mission that prevents you from getting all three stars. And you're going to keep running into that, again and again and again, unless you pony up large stacks of cash. And you're going to get your petunias handed to you in ship-to-ship combat again and again and again by people who have the cash flow to have the top-level ships in each category. I had fun, but I ended up bashing my face against the rocks of low income too much to keep going. It's all about the Benjamins, baby.
The game is okay. You are supposed to collect whichever characters you want, but are limited as to how many you can have unless you spend cash. You'll get offered a whole lot of characters, but can keep less than half. The pricing system is very odd. The only way to have 5 star characters maxed is to spend a silly amount of real money. Very shameless. $4/month will give you daily dilithium. You need dilithium to get characters and equipment you need to advance. The game is a great time waster, but it lacks in being fun and exciting. I was a beta tester for this so I've been playing for 2 years and I'm still waiting for it to get fun. Customer service now takes 1 week to 10 days to respond to issues. I am going to delete this very soon as it no longer holds my interest. They are way too into Discovery. I have buyers remorse wishing I didn't spend all that money trying to get Borg characters that I was never going to be able to get enough of to max out. After 2 years I was able to get a 5 star character up to to 2 stars. There's no way I can hang around for another 3 just to finally be able to use Judge Q. There are characters they released one time and you never saw again - no way to get to 5 stars. This is confirmed by customer service and asking when other Convergence Day Quarks have been released other than the first time for example. Good bye.
I’m a long time fan of Star Trek - when I first downloaded this game (a few days after initial launch) I discovered the paywall and decided I’ll play as a free player only. I didn’t expect much besides collecting some lower grade cards and maybe having some fun as long as it lasted. The “Star Trek” association drew me in. The daily awards give out some good things including a super rare card, in the coming months more additions to the game were introduced allowing people like me (playing free) to slowly collect upper tier (super rare and legendary) cards. Other additions like voyages give one the ability to collect more pieces like chronitons so you can run more missions. There’s a strong player community and forum where players get tips on how to play. Customer support is responsive. I’ve never needed to contact them but depending on your situation I’ve heard they can be great or not so great. It depends. Anyway, if you’re willing to put in the time, you don’t need to spend a penny to build a strong crew. I’ve done it. You just need to have patience.
