UPDATED STAR TREK®: D-A-C WARPS TO XBOX LIVE® ARCADE
Paramount Digital Entertainment, Bad Robot Interactive, CBS Consumer Products
and Naked Sky Entertainment today announced that new content for the Star Trek®:
D-A-C video game is now available for download via Xbox LIVE® Arcade. For
players that previously purchased the game on Xbox LIVE Arcade, the new content
for Star Trek: D-A-C is available as a free download. New players can purchase
the updated game on Xbox LIVE Arcade for 800 Microsoft points.
Star Trek: D-A-C is a fast-paced, top-down space shooter where
up to 12 players can compete in intergalactic battles between Starfleet and the
Romulan Empire. Since its maiden voyage on Xbox LIVE® Arcade earlier this year,
Star Trek: D-A-C has been expanded with two additional ship classes, a single
player game mode, several new pick-ups, a new map for Assault Mode, enhanced
gameplay features and more.
Star Trek: D-A-C supports online multiplayer, online co-op and
single player gameplay. There are four different game types – Survival, Team
Deathmatch, Conquest and Assault. In the all-new single-player Survival Mode,
Starfleet captains have only three lives to blast through waves of enemy ships.
When destroyed, enemy ships and drones drop special ability and score pick-ups,
and players are challenged to grab as many as they can before their lives run
out. Top scores will move players to the top of the leader boards and Starfleet
ranks. In Team Deathmatch, teams go head-to-head, clashing in a winner-takes-all
fight to the finish. In Conquest, teams must simultaneously protect and conquer
control points in space. In Assault, teams take turns trying to dominate or
defend a sector of space.
In Star Trek: D-A-C, players choose from five ship types for
both the Romulans and the Federation – the all-new Missile Cruiser, all-new
Support Frigate, Bomber, Fighter and Flagship – with each ship offering unique
capabilities for players to master and manipulate from the Captain’s chair. The
Missile Cruiser is a heavy artillery ship that features a longer range than any
other ship in the game, but is vulnerable to close range attacks due to a low
rate of fire and slower flight speed. The Support Frigate allows players to heal
friendly ships and easily target escape pods. The nimble Bomber speeds in and
out of battles, dropping bombs in its wake. The Fighter attacks ships head-on,
blasting missiles and dodging attacks.
The durable Flagship allows players to target enemies with a
reticule and inflict damage with an auto-firing phaser that attacks nearby
enemies. The Starfleet Flagship is the U.S.S. Enterprise™ featured in the “Star
Trek” film.
New gameplay updates in Star Trek: D-A-C include variable AI
difficulty settings, customizable goals that allow players to set game time
limits and number of kills needed to win, improved mechanics for capturing
control points in Conquest games, and host migration, which will allow games to
continue even if the host player disconnects. Star Trek: D-A-C also incorporates
music and signature sounds taken directly from the “Star Trek” film.
Star Trek: D-A-C is now available for download for 800
Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Arcade. It is also available for $9.99 on
PlayStation®Network and for Windows PC through Valve’s SteamTM distribution
service. Star Trek: D-A-C is rated “E” by the ESRB.
