Review: For those who don’t know, Orion Trail was originally a 2D adventure game that did receive a lot of praise from game critics. But fast forward a little while and here we are taking a look at Orion Trail VR. This 3D / 8-bit style adventure game is a definite nod towards Star Trek the original series. it sees you in the role of a captain onboard a spaceship. You get to pick your crew and set off on an adventure to the unknown. Of course, just like the Sci-Fi TV show, things will not be that easy and you will get into all sorts of troubles and adventures along the way.
Once you have picked your crew you then travel from point to point dealing will all sorts. From space battles to Alien diplomacy, you need to do things and react to things all according to your crew’s strengths and weaknesses. You see, when you first pick your crew you get points in each aspect of the gameplay: Aggression, Tactics, Diplomacy, Science and Bravado. Then, it is all down to the wheel of chance to see if you succeed or not. But the more points you have in the area you need for that mission will mean the better chance of winning.
