    This game is a colossal and epic fail. All it is is one pay wall behind a timer behind another pay wall so and so forth.

    Also, the gameplay is absolutely atrocious. All you do after you navigate through the countless timers and paywalls is watch a poorly animated cutscene (made of pixely in engine assets) while you click on glowing cubes as they appear.

    This "game" should be cast into the fiery pits of hell from whence it and the likes of the Mass Effect 3 ending came.    … Expand

    This game could of been one of the best Star Trek game ever, but has been reduced to a shameless, soul crushing greedy cash grab that is made worse by its £1.99 entry the whole thing is a disgrace and makes you want to vomit! games like this is the reason why gamers are wary of iOS games

    The only reason i give this game a 2 is because its only fun if you spend $75+ on the damn thing, its a greedy money grab that doesn't deserve you're money, do not buy this app it is a horrible example of what is wrong with gaming, even more so than that star wars card game. absolutely horrible

    once upon a time mr.scrooge,mr.krabs and larfleeze from green lantern teamed up to make a "game(!!!!)"whose only purpose would be to milk the every single cent out of gamers.And so star trek trexels was born and that proved the theory of hardcore gamers that believed that mobile games were a joke and they all lived happily ever after!

    This is a horrible game, where the objective is pay to play or wait... a lot. I even bought the game, so, when i saw the wait to play scheme.... well, just three words: dont pay for this crap!

    Where do I even Begin with this pile of junk. It's like EA all over again. Stay away from this money shredder at all costs. I hope the developers of this game feel a shamed of themselves for making people buy this garbage.

    This game is worse than Candy Crush. This game sucks. First off all, this is not a free game. This game costs 2.99$. When you buy the game. You'll notice that it has In-App Purchases. BUT it handles them in a way that's borderline ILLEGAL. There are 6 sectors in the game, ~8 planets in each one. The game has TIMERS WHICH LEAD TO TIMERS FOR UNLOCKING TIMERS. I'm serious.

The game has TIMERS WHICH LEAD TO TIMERS FOR UNLOCKING TIMERS. I'm serious. You can manage your ship as well, but all rooms you pay resources for are **** USELESS. The only rooms that do something are the PREMIUM ones that you buy for Dilythium Crystals. The only way to get these crystals is to pay REAL MONEY. Also, these crystals cost so much, they just wanted money. With 9.99$ you can buy 60 crystals, and with these you can buy stuff. BUT every room costs about 30 CRYSTALS or 4.99$. These premium rooms give you resources. There are 3 resources you can collect, which you will need to UNLOCK MISSIONS. Each planet costs about 10000/5000/7000. THIS IS THE COST FOR THE 2nd SECTOR. You also need to level up, which can be done by, obviously, grinding completed missions. BUT, you can unlock these sectors immediately for CRYSTALS. Oh, did I say immediately? Because you DON'T. You then have to wait literally HOURS to unlock the sector. You also can unlock characters from Star Trek.YAY! Except, no. Each character costs about 9.99$. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MONEY GRAB!!!… Expand

    Timers...more timers...paywalls and even more paywalls. Avoid at all costs, this is one of the reasons why mobile gaming is a stinking piles of putrid greed.

    This game is literally horsesh*t and its developers are better off robbing banks and they will be given more credibility than making this sh*t.

    The Angry Joe review on youtube basically nailed it all.

    This is one of the proofs that the end of gaming is near.

    This is the worst kind of money grab I'm a huge Trek fan. I'd be the kind if fan they'd probably expect to be tempted by their paywalls but not here. SHAME on YesGnome and SHAME on CBS (but CBS could care less... It was probably their idea.)

    Stay away. It's a pay to play game built on top of one of the most expensive freemium systems I've ever seen.

    Shame on you YesGnome.    … Expand

    Very authentic trek experience. Great music, visuals, and gameplay. Very fun way to spend a few moments now and then. Will probably appeal most to long-time Trek fans.

    Star Trek Trexels has a whole lot of promise, but sadly never taps into most of it, and restricts the rest.

    You've played games very similar to Star Trek Trexels, but if you're a Star Trek fan, that probably shouldn't put you off too much.

    Fans of the franchise who also happen to be micromanagers will delight in the chance to build up a Federation starship and explore a new region in space, but that small group are the only ones who will.
