The Borg Queen, stranded in the Alpha Quadrant by the same twist of fate that trapped Picard on her side of the galaxy, discovers that Species 8472 has found a way into the Alpha Quadrant. She attempts to mass an armada to suppress this threat by assimilating native species planets, ships and technologies, but its growth is stunted by the constant attacks from the Federation. She then realizes that only by working with the Federation they can defeat Species 8472. The Federation and the Borg Collective create an alliance and venture into Species 8472's fluidic space to destroy their staging grounds by destroying the Rift Maker, thus ending the threat to the Alpha Quadrant by closing all the rifts. The game received more "mixed" reviews than the original Star Trek: Armada, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.The story of Star Trek Armada 2 is one that I thought was pretty damn cool. It takes place shortly after the events of the first game and this time The Borg has a superweapon and they are able to assimilate a whole world in no time at all. Captain Picard decides to just ignore his orders and go on the attack to try and stop the Borg menace once and for all.Īs a Star Trek fan and as a Star Trek fan who loves the Borg, I thought this was pretty cool. The story could be told a bit better, but for the most part, the premise alone here was more than enough to get me invested saving the galaxy. The story mode is broken up into missions and these can take a couple of hours to beat each! Each one has its own objectives, but they all use the same RTS style gameplay.
The problem is the game really does throw you in at the deep end without much explanation for what you have to do or how you have to do it. If you have played the first game, you will be fine.
