If Jara’s sections of the story are driven around establishing herself as a senior officer and the politics of diplomacy, from command of the bridge to staff meetings, Carter’s leans a little more on the practical side of the adventure game genre, problem-solving and puzzling to get his job done in environments where his rank means he’s not often the go-to for big, splashy Star Trek action. By making the audience viewpoint cover such a broad scope of Star Trek’s command structure, Resurgence deftly manages to explore life aboard a starship from multiple narrative and mechanical angles. Where Resurgence stands out from prior adventure games of its ilk, and where it plays to Star Trek’s strengths the most, is in dividing the player’s perspective between two primary characters: the aforementioned Commander Rydek, a Kobliad officer thrust into the politics of not just a new command but a senior staff splintered over the loss of one of their own, and Petty Officer Carter Diaz, an engineering crewperson trying to navigate life in the lowest of the lower decks on a Federation starship with his best friend, a Trill named Nili Edsilar. When new XO Commander Jara Rydek is brought aboard, the Resolute is tasked with participating in diplomatic negotiations between two alien species, the Alydians and the Hotari, over a mining world - only to discover the source of the conflict has dire, far-reaching implications for the entire galaxy. Resolute, a science vessel rocked by a recent accident that resulted in the loss of 20 of its crew, including its first officer. Resurgence is set in 2380 - a year after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis - and follows the crew of the U.S.S. The feeling it creates is less like watching an interactive episode of Star Trek, and more like a choose-your-own-adventure novel coming to life. Unlike the oeuvre of past Telltale games, however, what sets Resurgence apart is that it is a singular, 12-ish hour story, rather than being broken down into episodic seasons of game slices. Whereas traditional adventure games lean heavily on puzzles, these games are driven by player choice through multi-pronged dialogue scenes, allowing the player to shape the path of the narrative - a perfect fit for a series like Star Trek. Out this week, Star Trek: Resurgence is a narrative-driven, choice-based adventure game in the vein of Telltale Games’ episodic gaming series, such as The Walking Dead, Batman, Guardians of the Galaxy, and more (developer Dramatic Labs was founded by several former Telltale staffers after the studio first effectively shuttered in 2018 the revived studio is currently working on a game based on The Expanse).
