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.

WayTooManyGames

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

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.

Review: ‘Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova’ Is A Fun (But Frustrating) Game With A Cool Story

| October 26, 2022 | By: Laurie Ulster and Joe Andosca 5 comments so far

Outright Games launched the action-adventure game Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova  earlier this month on multiple platforms. The game is set between episode 10 of Prodigy and episode 11, which premieres tomorrow on Paramount Plus. There also may be a connection to the upcoming season 1 finale, which is a two-parter also titled “ Supernova .”

Before we get into gameplay, here’s the synopsis:

After the Protostar picks up strange readings from a dying star, Dal R’El and Gwyndala must race against time to save their friends, their ship, new alien species and an entire planetary system before a supernova destroys them all! Using their unique skills to overcome ingenious puzzles, endure hostile environments and battle deadly robot armies, Dal and Gwyn must save their captured crewmates Jankom Pog, Rok-Tahk, Zero and Murf. But they soon discover a deadly new enemy, one that will stop at nothing to destroy the Protostar and change the very course of history!

Outright Games is a self-described “family-friendly video game publisher” who has a pretty outstanding portfolio after only being in business for six years. Previous titles include Paw Patrol , My Little Pony , and Transformers, to name a few.

Just like Gwyn and Dal tag team in the game, our reviewers— Joe , the experienced gamer, and Laurie , the game newbie—tag team this review. Joe played on an Xbox One, and Laurie on a PC via Steam. 

Both players loved the graphics, the music, the sound effects, and the fact that the whole  Prodigy cast is there to voice their characters.

You can play solo as either Dal or Gwyn (and frequently switch off between the two). We both liked this feature, particularly enjoying the times when Dal and Gwyn had to tag team to get access to a new area or accomplish a goal. There is also a co-op mode; Steam players can do this over the internet, while console players can do it locally. But as we were on different systems we didn’t that the chance to check out this feature.

Each character has their own unique abilities and tools or weapons, and get more as you play. Dal starts with a phaser and Gwyn has her fretwork spear (the “heirloom” from The Diviner). They also have different abilities: Dal can lift barriers for Gwyn to crawl under and Gwyn can create bridges for Dal to cross over. As they rescue their crewmates, they get to take advantage of their abilities, too, like Jankom’s knack for hacking open doors, Rok-Tahk’s strength, and more. All of this encourages teamwork, which is a nice Star Trek message. 

Joe (Xbox One): The controls are intuitive from the start. Since there aren’t easy, medium, or hard settings, a kid can feel confident to dive right in. Although not needed for reasons already mentioned, a jump button would’ve been a nice addition.

Laurie (PC): The button layout for directional movement was a bit challenging since it used the WASD keys instead of being laid out like the arrow keys with top, bottom, and sides. It required a little more focus just for basic movement, at least at the beginning. This may not be as much of an issue for veteran gamers and/or those with dedicated controllers.

Both players: The exploration part is fun: running around exploring, trying switches and power boxes, poking around to see what’s there. The puzzle games require a lot of trial and error, which can get a little frustrating, but that only increases your sense of triumph when you finally figure it out!

Laurie: When I felt stuck, I’d go back to the last checkpoint and try again, which was a great strategy that only made it more fun, especially when I conquered a level I thought I couldn’t.

Joe: You can go on the holodeck and train/sharpen your skills with a walkthrough which can be really helpful if you want to be efficient. I was able to get through most of the game without switching weapons, which is good for young kids who just want to play.

Laurie: I don’t play video games, so I appreciated the slow ramp-up to more weapons and more abilities.

Joe: The mission loading times were really quick—I’m used to waiting at least 30 seconds to move on but Prodigy was almost instantaneous. Well done, Outright Games!

Joe: Camera controls leave a lot to be desired. You only see what the game wants you to see—there’s no way to look around the whole area. The right stick button on the Xbox One does nothing. It would’ve been cool to have a more open-world-type feel, but that might be overwhelming for a kid. 

Laurie: Occasionally there are glitches where a character gets wedged in somewhere and requires a lot of random key-mashing to get them out.

Both players: Fighting the Watchers gets tedious and repetitive, making it boring instead of exciting when they attack.

Laurie: The fighting was especially boring for me, and when I got to a battle with Drednok—nice to see him again, by the way—I eventually gave up. I even watched some YouTube videos to see how to defeat him and those showed me how long it would take, and once I saw there were no shortcuts, I was done.

Joe: This was a good continuation of the season 1 story arc, complete with Gwyn struggling to find her missing memories.

Laurie: I loved the story and the conceit that everyone was beamed down to a different place (requiring Gwyn and Dal to rescue them all individually) was a great setup. The game’s longer story is intriguing and very much on point for the show, as is the idea that Drednok was found and reassembled.

Joe: Characters are on point!

Laurie: The dialogue is great, although they do occasionally reference things they shouldn’t know about (Worf’s beard, tribbles, etc.).

Joe: The banter between characters is really fun, just like the show. We even get some character development in tense moments; at one point Dal almost confesses he has feelings for Gwyn. 

Laurie: And Jankom is always good for a laugh as he begrudgingly uses his skills to bail them out. 

Missing features

Joe: A way to skip entire sections of dialogue instead of having to skip them one section at a time would be great for replaying levels; they’re all fun the first time but can get long when you’ve already heard them. Varying difficulty levels would’ve been a nice touch as well to cover players’ different ability levels.

Laurie: I would’ve loved an option to skip all the fighting sequences and focus more on story and exploration, or at least a difficulty setting. I like to think that would also be great for smaller kids, but they probably are all better at this than I am, so maybe this issue is more for infrequent gamers.

Overall experience

The game is fun to play and quickly gets addictive, but the battles have the potential to wear you out with repetition. The game is gorgeous and there are great little touches along the way, like the ability to collect secrets/relics to deck out the captain’s quarters. 

Laurie: I’m sad I had to give up, because I wanted to keep playing but just couldn’t get past one of the battles.

Joe. Not a high replayability factor for me, especially if there’s no way to skip those long dialogue sequences. But that said, I think this is the best Star Trek video game I’ve played in a long time and I am determined to finish it! 

Laurie: Maybe I’ll try again. Can someone help me defeat Drednok?

Joe: Laurie, we’ll defeat Drednok together on Steam!

Available now

Supernova is available on  PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox X|S, and Steam. It is priced at $49.99 and is  available at Amazon  and other games retailers.

If someone wants to see the game before playing it or doesn’t want to play, there is a good full playthrough at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7L8mSDcOuc – but if you don’t want to be spoiled about the dialogue and puzzle solutions, be warned of spoilers!

Thanks for sharing the playthrough. It’s a great way to decide if it’s your kind of game. Since it’s Star Trek, I went ahead and got it. I think the review here is fairly spot on. I’m enjoying it despite some flaws.

Just had a look at the Microsoft Store – the game is available on Xbox and PC from there, which is great to see – I play on PC mostly but might someday get an Xbox, so it’s great to have games that will work on both, rather than just Steam. That said, it’s expensive, IMO ($75 AUD ($70 on Steam)). I might wait for a sale.

My 10 year old son and I are playing together on Switch. Battles are much more fun in cooperative mode.

Joe said we’d team up and try, so I’m looking forward to that. I hated giving up.

“We wanted to make sure that the old fans of the franchise are comfortable with the story, but also the new generations [of fans are also comfortable],” said Jose Manuel Camacho, lead producer at developer Terrera Studios .

The video played during the livestream shows players controlling Dal and Gwyn in a top-down, twin-stick-style game. While the game’s trailer seemingly featured Brett Gray , Ella Purnell , and Kate Mulgrew reprising their roles from the series, it’s unclear currently if the other voice actors from the show are in this game.

The game, which can be played solo or in co-op, is being developed for PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Steam, and Stadia.

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.
