Summary
Bethesda Studios brings Star Trek to your early morning bus/train ride into work with Tactical Assault on the DS. This tactical shooter brings the familiar setting of the original series to life as you think and fight your way through a galactic conflict.
Players command ships ranging from frigates to dreadnought class behemoths in battles that will demand as much cunning and forward planning as they will quick reflexes. In the primary game, you'll take command of either a Federation or Klingon ship and fight your way through story-driven campaigns. There's a healthy dose of real time strategy mixed in with the phaser-firing, torpedo-tossing action, so don't expect to be able to whip your ship around and take down your opponent simply by having nimble fingers. You'll need to know your enemy's weaknesses (as well as your own) to take them apart piece by piece.
You'll also have your own living, breathing crew. Well, not quite living or breathing, but they'll be as close as you're likely to get on a console. Managing them will play a crucial part of your strategy. Promoting a navigator, for example, will increase your manoeuvrability while promoting an engineer will improve repair times. Also thrown into the mix for good measure is Multiplayer Mode. Using the DS wi-fi functionality, players can compete head-to-head.
