STAR TREK: Tactical Assault
for Nintendo DS Ships to Retail Stores
Real-Time Strategy Game Set
in the Original STAR TREK® Series Universe
Rockville, Maryland - Oct. 26, 2006 - Bethesda Softworks®
today announced that STAR TREK: Tactical Assault
for the Nintendo DS is now shipping to North American
retail stores. STAR TREK: Tactical Assault for
the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system will follow
closely behind, beginning to appear on store shelves the week
of November 13th. Both versions feature exciting, real-time
spaceship combat set in the universe of the original STAR
TREK® series.
STAR TREK: Tactical Assault features two full-length
campaigns for the Federation and the Klingon Empire. You take
command of a powerful warship and must make split-second decisions
under fire, outmaneuver enemy warships, and make calculated
assessments about your enemy's weaknesses while protecting
your own. With a multitude of paths to choose from in each
campaign, you will ultimately decide the direction and outcome
of your story.
In addition to the story driven single-player campaigns,
STAR TREK: Tactical Assault features high-energy,
action-packed one-off battles found in the 'Skirmish' and
'Wireless Multiplayer' modes. The 'Skirmish' mode allows players
to test their abilities against the A.I. while the wireless
multiplayer action allows them to go head-to-head against
a friend. In these special modes players can command ships
from the Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Gorn, and Orion fleets.
