I'm kind of amazed that someone thought something based on Voyager would even sell. I loved Voyager when it was new — don't get me wrong — but coming hot off the ending of The Next Generation, and its first few seasons coinciding with Deep Space Nine right after things got good on DS9? It wasn't very popular at the time. Then we got ENT to dump on, then STD. And I like most/all Trek, but I've found generally people dumped on the new thing. I'm glad Voyager is getting love. We got Prodigy which is kind of a sequel to Voyager, in much the same way Picard was to TNG. (Now do DS9, you cowards!)
Not sure this game is it... it just looks like Fallout Shelter, reskinned with some extra bells and whistles. Which might not be such a bad thing, people liked Fallout Shelter. I got overwhelmed by it and gave up on it. I might play it on my computer if it comes to macOS, but I don't see myself booting up the Xbox for a game like this. (I see they are porting it to PC, but Macs run a whole other hardware architecture, one that phones and Nintendo Switch run. Mac ports are more likely when a game is coming to one of those; for example, any game that runs on either Switch should run on all M-series Macs. It's just a question of whether they want to support the platform.)
I wish it had been based on Lower Decks instead. That way there was more room for weirder shenanigans.
Voyager is very relevant to younger gen. Lots of references in Lower Decks. Don't forget about Prodigy! I'll take more Kate Mulgrew and Tim Russ any day of the week!
It does seem like an odd time for a Voyager tie-in game. Reminds me of an upcoming game I saw in my Steam queue the other day that's based on Mars Attacks!. Flipping Mars Attacks!!? What could be more relevant? Really striking while the iron's hot with that one.
Anyhow, I hope it does well. I don't think it's for me, but I'm all for more Star Trek games. Resurgence is pretty great, imo.
TL;DR: The headline on the post is pretty much the whole article.
