The game's story is a mixed bag, featuring a nostalgic "nexus" plot that ties together various Star Trek characters and offers branching missions with choose-your-own-adventure elements. While some players find the dialogue engaging and the overall narrative enjoyable, others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking depth, often feeling like a mere justification for combat rather than a compelling storyline. Overall, the campaign is short, consisting of only eight episodes, which may leave players wanting more after completion.
- “I haven't finished all of the campaign missions yet, but the storylines are actually pretty good, and the dialogue fits each character rather well.”
- “As a devoted Trekkie, I find myself drawn into the rich dialogue and engaging storyline, which seamlessly incorporates characters from all generations in the nexus plot.”
- “The story is interesting enough to engage me, and the late-game villains are cool.”
- “The story alone is nothing groundbreaking, although it is interesting at times and full of fanservice.”
- “It is a good port of an iPhone game, but since it was a mobile game, there isn't much story to the game.”
- “I don't really know what I expected, but it had to be better than this - no 'real' missions or exploration, just text boxes with limited conversation options, and combat that is just old-school Final Fantasy, which is just your team standing there while you are selecting options from yet more text boxes.”

The gameplay is a mix of engaging turn-based battles and character progression, appealing particularly to fans of the franchise, though it suffers from repetitiveness and grind typical of mobile games. While the mechanics are straightforward and accessible, the lack of depth and variety in gameplay modes can lead to a monotonous experience. Despite some bugs and a reliance on gacha mechanics, many players appreciate the absence of pay-to-win elements and find the overall experience enjoyable.
- “From the first moment on, 'Legends' motivates you with its core game mechanic: unlocking the characters you love from the series and upgrading them infinitely, making them strong fighters in the main gameplay - the battles.”
- “The turn-based combat adds a strategic layer to gameplay, while the branching missions offer dynamic decision-making, ensuring your choices matter.”
- “A genuinely excellent game with ridiculous depth and a great gameplay loop!”
- “The worst thing, though, is gameplay itself.”
- “Now the actual gameplay, while okay, gets repetitive at best.”
- “Every battle also looks and feels the same, and gameplay gets very repetitive.”

The game is praised for its lack of in-app purchases and microtransactions, offering a fixed price that allows players to enjoy the experience without the typical monetization pitfalls found in mobile gacha games. Reviewers appreciate the seamless gameplay and the ability to unlock content through gameplay alone, although some express concerns about potential future DLC and the game's overall balance. Overall, the absence of monetization strategies is seen as a significant positive aspect, enhancing the game's appeal.
- “Finally an enjoyable game that has no microtransactions!”
- “The good thing is it has zero in-app purchases and microtransactions, no energy that you need to wait for to get refilled, you can play all day long if you feel like it.”
- “It's pretty fun, it's basically a free-to-play gacha game, but instead of paying for microtransactions, you pay once and you get the game with no microtransaction nonsense.”
- “Lack of communication from the devs tells me that this was a cash grab with no intention of support.”
- “The removal of in-app purchases and the availability of boosters and resources with in-game credits make the reward economy unbalanced.”
- “Basic things show that this is a poor port and a cash grab.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed feedback, with many praising the unique art style and character designs, particularly in the cartoonish aesthetic. However, players have reported technical issues such as low resolution resets and visual bugs, which detract from the overall experience. Despite these concerns, the visuals are generally considered good, especially for a mobile port, and there is a desire for future upgrades to higher resolutions like 4K.
- “I feel in love with the art style and the interface, it's so well done!”
- “The artwork, stages, and animations are amazing though.”
- “The cartoon type graphics look great, good sound, good animations and now that I have played it for many hours, I highly recommend this game!”
- “The only graphic option also resets to very low every time you restart the game.”
- “And I have repeatedly posted about the low resolution and graphic option resetting in the Steam discussions, and not once did the developer acknowledge these issues.”
- “Also, I have to reapply my graphic settings with almost every launch... I'd say, at least, 80% of the time.”

The game is currently plagued by significant stability issues, including frequent crashes, server overloads leading to disconnects, and various bugs that disrupt gameplay. Players report that the game often freezes, particularly in specific modes, and that certain missions fail to trigger without a restart. Overall, the game is considered highly unstable and still in early access, with many users expressing frustration over its performance.
- “In its current form, it is highly unstable with freezes, crashes, and online disconnects that only affect this application (this means that there is no issue with your connection, but their back-end disconnects from you which causes the message and your game to freeze).”
- “The game freezes often in alliance raid mode, randomly disconnects in PvP, lacks in basic customization options, and sometimes missions simply don't trigger without a restart.”
- “The alliance war screen constantly freezes, and when it does freeze, it is frozen for the entire week.”
grinding

The grinding aspect of the game is frequently criticized for being repetitive and tedious, akin to many mobile titles, with players noting a lack of depth and engaging content. While some find the continuous campaign and multiplayer experience enjoyable and not excessively grindy, others feel that the grind is overwhelming, especially in certain modes that require extensive XP farming. Overall, the game offers a mix of engaging gameplay and frustrating grind, with no clear endgame to alleviate the repetitiveness.
- “There is no endgame; there are a few additional modes that are just more of the same, repetitive, tedious battles.”
- “As such, it's as grindy as most mobile-designed titles are and makes use of time-gating mechanics.”
- “Things are just too grindy for the incremental improvements I see at this point.”

The music and sound effects in the game are basic and repetitive, leading many players to mute them and listen to their own music instead. There is no volume control, and the overall audio experience does not capture the essence of the Star Trek franchise, making it feel more like a mobile game port. While the character renderings are decent, the limited audio options detract from the overall experience.
- “The music is a bit limited, but the character renderings, while cartoony, are quite decent.”
- “You can turn music and sound effects on or off, which is a nice feature.”
- “The worst part about it being a port of a mobile game is that the sound effects and music are very basic, and get very annoying after a few missions.”
- “I usually play it on mute and listen to my own music while playing it.”
- “The music is a bit limited; the character renderings, while cartoony, are quite decent.”

The game's optimization has been criticized for largely retaining the menus and UI from the Apple Arcade version, resulting in minimal adjustments for PC performance. This lack of optimization has led to a subpar user experience on the platform.
