And the developer managed to throw in everything from the Dominion to Species #9431 into the mix, and they made a lot of obscure Trek technologies available for gameplay. Expect time travel to figure once again the house of Duras teams with Sela of the Romulans to topple the Klingon High Council the sword of Kahless is a factor and the Borg are led by a snooty figurehead. The developers are obviously Trek fans, and the storyline throughout the entire game contains the entire gamut of Star Trek motifs. But the Borg finale is just short of brilliant, and if you win, culminates in the assimilation of Earth itself. The campaign structure then drags through the chronically uninspired Klingon and Romulan missions. The Federation campaign is interesting, but only really serves as an introduction. There are four races that come with five missions each, making for a twenty-mission campaign. It also succumbs to the genreвЂ™s most common failings the computer AI is bad, the pathfinding is awful, and the mission flavor is pure vanilla. There are starship rushes instead of tank or Zerg rushes.ДЄrmada scores points by offering a wide range of units, special race-unique powers and technologies, a diverse campaign, and endless replay via multiplayer and Instant Action mode.

Instead of mountains, there are impassible nebulae to confine your movements on the map. Instead of gold or ore, you mine dilithium from small blue planetoids. Its saving grace is that it manages to shoehorn an amazingly diverse amount of Trek concepts into this narrow genre. Star Trek: Armada is on one hand the most action-packed Trek game developed, but at its warp-core, a very generic real-time strategy game. Like every other RTS, with Star Trek stuff.
