The best Star Trek MMORPG on mobile. The best Star Trek Experience since the one in Vegas shut down.

The best Star Trek MMORPG on mobile. The best Star Trek Experience since the one in Vegas shut down. Seriously, until someone makes a Star Trek dungeon crawler or top-down tactical game, this is as good a Star Trek mobile game as you will ever get. A little limited in visual frills (I’d love to see the interior of the Romulan ship my crew is moving through!) but that opens up the possibilities of the game. The feeling of command is real because you are choosing the right crew to send on away missions. You are responsible for training and advancing them. I’d like to see real faction events, where not only can you support just one faction, but you can only use crew from one faction. Imagine a true Klingon vs Federation event. But overall, the best mobile Trek game there is, or is likely to be. Graphics are top notch on my iPhone 7 and iPad Pro. I’ve found support (through the website, submitting a ticket) to be great. Some delays when there is heavy traffic. Could do with new episodes though. PLEASE. All in all, the most all encompassing Trek experience you’ll find on mobile.
I love Star Trek so much! I grew up on it which is why I want this game to be everything. It has a lot going for it but it is sorely lacking in some areas. First, it seems like the developers do not care about their customers and how much Star Trek means to them. There are some shady things going on. For instance, they have an arbitrary cap of 1,000 unique items and after 7 days if you are over that limit they start deleting your inventory. What they haven’t told anyone is that even if you try and build something to use up the unique inventory there is a bug that won’t use up lower level items. They are shady. The gauntlet is another aspect of shadiness. It is so rigged that even if you should beat the other player you don’t especially if it is the third time when your supposed to get a gift. Second, this is a collecting game even if the developers don’t want to admit it. People are here, collecting the cards and the developers are milking every sucker for all the money in the universe. It’s tempting. We love Star Trek and want the characters. Slow down on the introductions. Third, the ship schematics are useless and are just sitting there taking up space. Plus, they are a common get in packs which is annoying. Figure out additional ways of using them. In summation, I love Star Trek and I like this game. Just fix the issues and make it seem like you care about the fan base and customers.
I m a big fan of Star Trek and this game is just great. I've taken off two stars for two reasons. I'm a beginner and as a beginner the game is daunting with no real explanation of how things are best done. For instance when I get to the start of a ship battle some tips or information comes on the screen but disappears too quickly, so I get the first three words, not very helpful. The other star is because as someone who thinks logically, I know I'm never going to own this game so if I ever spend real money on it, it would have to be for a very good reason and it's not likely, so when I see the characters and boosts available to the players willing to spend it's frustrating. I get it that you have to make money and I'm really glad some people will spend, but it's still frustrating. Because of the fact that I'm a beginner when I entered my first event I was completely under prepared, I still have entered into some of the contests, but good grief I get plastered which is very discouraging. I'm really impressed that these reviews are actually responded to and as a big fan of Star Trek I will keep playing and see where it goes, I also think it should be as enjoyable to a solo player as it can be to a social player- there are plenty of people who like staying solo. Thanks for creating this game and making it available to players like me (with virtually stitched pockets!) :-))

Launching today on the Apple Arcade gaming platform — playable on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac devices — the new  Star Trek Legends game ties together characters from the Original Series,  The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery,   Star Trek: Picard,  and the TOS and TNG feature films using the time-traveling anomaly featured in  Star Trek: Generation , the mysterious Nexus.

star trek games on ios

From the game’s official synopsis:

Engage in an epic storyline for control of the mysterious Nexus and the fate of the universe as players step into the role of their favorite Star Trek heroes and villains in the hit franchise’s official team-based RPG. Players will embark on missions, experience epic turn-based combat and make choices that influence the entire story as they take command of the U.S.S. Artemis. They’ll warp into the Nexus, where they’ll discover new worlds and recruit over 40 of their favorite characters from the entire Star Trek franchise – Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Star Trek: Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Discovery, and Star Trek: Picard. Their crew’s skills and ingenuity will prove critical as players choose the right team members from their collection for the task at hand. Each legend has their own unique set of skills, abilities and weapons, from Spock’s Vulcan Nerve Pinch to Worf’s deadly Bat’leth. Explore beautifully rendered 3D worlds, fully realized and lovingly animated characters, and a dynamic graphics system that provides a console-level experience on your Apple device.

Characters like Dr. McCoy, the Borg Queen, General Martok, Phillipa Georgiou, and Soji Asha all share the screen in this crossover game, which was also the subject of a feature interview on the official Star Trek website today — shedding a little more light behind the game’s story.

Something is happening within the Nexus that is causing its walls to break down. It would have started long before the events of ‘Star Trek: Generations’, where the Nexus rifts were a known phenomenon, and it’s becoming more and more of a threat. ‘Star Trek: Generations’ established that travel into the Nexus isn’t a simple matter, but it would stand to reason the Federation has been hard at work understanding more about it. When the events of ‘Star Trek: Legends’ begin, the Federation is finally successful in constructing a starship – the U.S.S. Artemis – capable of withstanding the power of the rift and traversing the Nexus. At least, theoretically. And that is where we are bringing the player in. The maiden voyage of the U.S.S. Artemis is a perilous one. No one knows what awaits on the other side of the rift and how the ship and its crew will be able to come back from the Nexus. If there ever was a mission you would “boldly go” on, this is it. As captain of the U.S.S. Artemis, we are immediately casting the player as a true model of a Starfleet officer: stalwart in the face of danger and committed to the greater good in the face of immense risk. It won’t be long before the player learns of other Starfleet officers that have been pulled into the Nexus from other eras of Star Trek history. The Nexus is not bound by our principles of time and space, and you start the journey ignorant of the circumstances that have led to this time-spanning union. It’s a considerable part of the overall mystery as you and your crew delve deeper into the origins of the extradimensional realm. That’s not to say everything about your adventure in the Nexus will be alien and shrouded in mystery. We’re using the liberty it affords us as a realm consisting of multitudes of realities to tell self-contained stories and even follow up on old plots that have become iconic to ‘Star Trek’ fans. The Gorn captain wants a rematch, Kirk!

Star Trek Trexels for iOS mashes up generations and game genres

The mobile game marks the beginning of an all-new retro-themed "Star Trek" venture aimed at fans of all ages, whether they grew up with Gene Roddenberry's or J.J. Abrams' version.

Nick_Statt2.jpg

Die-hard "Star Trek" fans may remember the franchise's very first game released in 1979, called Phaser Strike, for Milton Bradley's Microvision . Though a far cry from any modern conception of gaming, Phaser Strike still retains the intrinsic relationship with the 1960s "Star Trek" and its vision of the far-off future, now ripe for nostalgia for everything from the early days of television to science fiction's steady influence on pop culture.

Thirty-four years later, "Star Trek" is returning to its retro roots -- though with a bit of a technological upgrade -- with Trexels. The new video game venture will debut on the App Store Wednesday at 9 p.m. PT (Thursday at 12 a.m. ET) in the form of a $2.99 iOS game for iPhone and iPad . Equipped with an 8-bit art style and a time-shifting plot line, Trexels mashes up the series' later characters from "The Next Generation" with those of the original crew.

"We really wanted to throw the boundaries away and say, 'Look what we really want to do is appeal to a wider range of Star Trek fans,'" said Craig Bolin, who is leading the Trexels project as part of of partnership between his studio, Xcube Games, and social gaming company YesGnome. "We're starting with 'The Original Series' and 'The Next Generation,' but we could easily expand this into all the different series."

The teams were commissioned by CBS, which owns the rights to "Star Trek" (and also owns CNET under its CBS Interactive division) after a series of corporate mergers and acquisitions took "Star Trek" from its original partial ownership under Paramount Pictures all the way to Viacom and its transition into the CBS Corporation in 2006.

The origin of Trexels' goes back to designer John Martz , who in 2010 mashed up the words "trek" and "pixel" for his 8-bit take on the storied television show's wide cast of characters. His limited-run poster featuring 235 of the series' characters took the Internet by storm prior to an appearance at the 2011 MoCCA Festival , a comics expo run by the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art.

But following disputes over rights to the "Star Trek" franchise, Martz sold Trexels to CBS. "I can't comment on any new merchandise, as anything Trexels-related other than the original art print has been done without my cooperation or endorsement," Martz told CNET. Texas-based artist Billy Zinser, who leads UI and UX design at Xcube Games, took over and expanded the art style to encompass all aspects of the game.

Old meets new Even for those non-Trekkies out there, "Star Trek" has earned its place as a household name. The franchise has come a long way from its niche sci-fi roots, producing 12 feature films, countless video games, and six television series since the mid-1960s launch of Gene Roddenberry's vision. It recently found renewed mainstream appeal thanks in part to director J.J. Abrams' reboot films, which brought the the series in line with major Hollywood blockbuster standards. With Trexels, CBS Interactive Director of Games Erika Winterholler is hoping to infuse new life into the series by dialing back its aesthetics and introducing new plot material that blends the old with the new.

"We think that with the series' original music, George Takei's narration, and classic 'Trek' scenarios, Trexels brings a truly authentic 'Star Trek' experience to fans' mobile devices," she said in a statement.

Beyond the obvious high point one might find in Takei's voice guiding the player through six episodic sectors, Trexels will be introducing new material into the series' canon, including new alien races and the time-rift plot device that will pull in later-generation Trek characters.

As for gameplay, it will be as much a mashup of genres as it is "Star Trek" plot points and timelines. A good chunk of the game will involve a building mechanic for your ship, where you delegate different tasks to members of the crew to build up resources and upgrade the capacities of the vessel to allow for more exploration.

Exploration is done through nodes on each of the six starting maps. Those can vary from planets to enemy ships to galaxy clusters, and involve different forms of gameplay. For instance, to initiate an eventual storyline mission that completes the area, one must first probe the object and then follow that up with any one of a number of different mini-game components.

star trek games on ios

"The idea here is each of these planets can be probed than there's a series of different types of gameplay that exist as a stack within each one of these," Bolin said. Once a mission is unlocked, the plot is pushed along through space or ground combat in a real-time strategy style, medical or engineering puzzles, or in text-heavy diplomacy challenges.

Bolin and his team hope the wide mixture of gameplay and the retro-art style will be combine to make an experience worthy of any and all Trekkies, including those just now geeking out on the series' rich history thanks to the Abrams' reboots.

"If you're a slightly younger 'Star Trek' fan and Data was big to you, we want to leave room for that," Bolin said. "The idea is that we can bring together characters from different time periods. There's different 'Star Trek' episodes that give you some inspiration." Bolin referenced the "Star Trek" episode "The Savage Curtain" in which the crew teams up with Abraham Lincoln.

"So there's plenty of opportunity in the fiction of the universe to bring these characters together," he added.

Trexels for iOS is just one step in the pixelated future of the franchise, though the team is focused on mobile at the moment with no current plans to bring the title elsewhere beyond an Android version in the near future. As for additional story content, the app will be continuously updated. "We're also planning a series of free, additional content updates that we hope fans will really enjoy," Winterholler said.

"The entire design Trexels is meant to be the first module in the series," Bolin explained. "In the sense that we've only got 'The Original Series' and 'The Next Generation' characters. But we're planning on wanting to do a 'Voyager' module, a 'Deep Space Nine,' an 'Enterprise,'" he added.

"You only have the first six pages of the comic book."

Star Trek: Timelines is the best Trek game in years

The best Star Trek game I’ve played in a long time, surprisingly, is a free-to-play mobile app — a style I usually despise for feeling cheap and lacking substantial gameplay.

Not that it has a lot of competition. Despite the popularity and versatility of the franchise, we haven’t seen a decent game based on the property in over a decade. Star Trek: Timelines, out now for iOS and Android (I played it on an iPhone 6), is more than decent. It’s actually a lot of fun.

Check out our  Reviews Vault  for past game reviews .

What you’ll like

A large cast of characters

GamesBeat at the Game Awards

We invite you to join us in LA for GamesBeat at the Game Awards event this December 7. Reserve your spot now as space is limited!

The basic conceit in Timelines involves a collision of parallel universes causing a galactic crisis and bringing characters across the franchise’s different eras together. So, you can play with a crew filled with popular characters like Picard from The Next Generation and Spock from the original show, but you can even have more obscure additions like Kruge, the Klingon villain from Star Trek III: The Search of Spock . It’s even possible to get different versions of the same character, like a Picard in his Borg form, Locutus.

It’s a lot of characters, and just collecting them is a lot fun for fans of the franchise. You can use an in-game currency or real money to buy a chance to unlock new crew members, which is a similar thrill to opening up a pack of Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft or Magic: The Gathering cards.

Picard looking like a badass.

Above: Picard looking like a badass.

Missions that play like abridged Star Trek episodes

Each character has different strengths and weaknesses. Some excel at engineering, and others good at fighting. These become important during missions, which like an episode of the show are basically a series of problems that you need to solve with your crew. You can pick three characters for each mission, but you need to plan carefully based on what skills the mission calls for. Each problem usually has multiple solutions, so you can use a fighter to challenge a Klingon to a fight or have an engineer beam him into the brig.

Outside of those major attributes, each character has different skills and perks that can prove useful. A Klingon has a better chance of challenging another Klingon character, and an empath like Counselor Troi has an advantage when it comes to persuading someone.

These different attributes and qualities help to make all of the characters unique, and it also makes you feel like the director of your own Star Trek episodes.

Clearly the best Enterprise. Sorry TOS fans.

Above: This is clearly the best Enterprise . Sorry, TOS fans.

Flashy ship combat

Some missions. They’re a lot simpler than the ones I detailed above, but they look great thanks to excellent 3D models and some intense camera work. You can assign characters to the ship, and each one will give you a different cooldown ability (like increasing damage or accuracy for a short time). Again, these fights are simple (you’re basically just pushing buttons after the come off cooldown, so the real battle comes with making sure you have a good ship and crew) but they look great and offer a nice change of pace from the other missions.

What you won’t like

It’s expensive

As we’ve established, you’ll want characters. Lots of them. You can use an in-game currency for a chance to unlock some, but you’ll need to spend real money to have a much better chance of recruiting useful crewmembers. This can get expensive, since you’re never quite sure what kind of character you’ll get. If you need a surgeon, you could be spending $20 or more hoping for McCoy or The Doctor drop before you finally get one.

New ships are also difficult to earn. The one you start off with is weak, but you can’t just earn a new ship from the same packs you get characters from. Instead, you earn schematic points for each ship type, and you’ll need to acquire at least a few of each before you can unlock that vessel.

Sometimes, Timelines offers specific content bundled together — including ships and characters — for one price, but these can be insanely expensive. I’m talking $100. I’ll take my chances with the random rolls, thanks.

Pretty 3D model.

Above: NCC-1701 — no bloody A, B, C, or D.

Star Trek: Timelines offers a lot of fun for mega-fans of the franchise, but understand that you won’t get as much out of it as you would want unless you’re willing to spend some money. And, once you start, it can become hard to resist the temptation to drop another $5 for another chance to unlock a rare character or ship.

Of course, I wouldn’t put up with any of that if the game wasn’t so much fun.

Score: 80/100

Star Trek: Timelines is available now for iOS and Android. The developer sent GamesBeat a digital code for the purposes of this review before release, and we also played the released version after launch.

“Star Trek Trexels” Available on iOS App Store

star trek games on ios

A new Star Trek game has appeared in the iOS App Store called, “Star Trek Trexels.”

Developed by YesGnome LLC, Trexels looks like an 8-bit game-lover’s dream. It’s a game that’s not unlike “Tiny Tower”, but there are Starfleet explorations, ship battles, and even phaser fire fights to make it interesting to the Trek Geek in all of us.

The following description is taken from the game’s official page on the iTunes website :

BUILD YOUR SHIP YOU decide how your ship is built. Choose from dozens of different room types and modifications, and put those red shirts to work!

CHOOSE YOUR CREW Assign officers to key posts, train them to increase their abilities, and send them on exciting Away Missions!

ICONIC CHARACTERS AND TECHNOLOGY A temporal rift in the Expanse has caused old foes and surprising new allies to find their way into this unexplored region of space. Luckily, you’ve also got the brand-new LCARS interface to aid your mission!

AN AUTHENTIC STAR TREK™ EXPERIENCE Featuring narration by the one and only George Takei, the game also includes the original music from Star Trek™: The Original Series!

COMING SOON… Faster than you can say, “Make it so,” look for future updates that will truly take the Trexels experience into the ‘next generation’… of mobile games.

Key Features: Narrated by the one and only George Takei Music from the original series Gameplay using a next generation LCARS interface Unique “Trexelated” art style Exciting Space Combat and Away Missions Customize your ship for maximum efficiency

I downloaded the game on an iOS device and the best thing I can say about it is that it’s “just OK.” The game play is interesting for about the first hour, but if you’re playing it on an iPhone, the screen is terribly small.  Plus, if you really want to progress, you have to make in-game purchases of dilithium.  I don’t have a problem with that, but it certainly keeps me from playing the game and building my Starship as much as I might otherwise.

The other thing that I wish were different about the game is the fact that if I leave it alone too long, I get a notification on my phone that I should come back and play—even if the in-game notifications are set to “off.”

All things considered, Trexels isn’t a terrible way to pass a little time and explore The Final Frontier.

Top 25 best sci-fi games for iPhone and iPad (iOS)

Top 25 best sci-fi games for iPhone and iPad (iOS)

25 best iOS space games

Updated on February 16, 2023  - re-checked the list You might ask what are the best space games on iOS , or sci-fi games in general. Well, we are here with the list, so I'm sure you'll find something out of this world (pun intended!).

Sci-fi is one of the biggest, most distinctive genres in cinema and literature. It's arguably an even bigger deal in gaming.

Whether you're taking direct control of a space marine blasting alien invaders, flying a starfighter, commanding a space station, or negotiating a dystopian state, some of the most compelling games take place in a sci-fi setting.

That's true of mobile games as well as console and PC. From ports to iOS originals, the future is a fertile place for titles you can play on the go.

  • Best iOS racing games | Best strategy games for iOS

It's been tricky narrowing the field down to just 25, but the following games all create an evocative science fiction world that goes beyond flashy lights and big explosions. Mostly, anyway. There's still plenty of space for such frivolous things.

Which sci-fi iOS games would you add to the list? Let us know in the comments below.

1 FTL: Faster Than Light

FTL: Faster Than Light

It doesn't get more sci-fi than putting you in control of the many varied systems on your very own starship. Actually, it does, as FTL also sets you off on a brilliantly brutal space adventure. This iOS space game may be old, but it's as good (if not better) as many of the new releases.

It's a title that elevates space sims to a whole new level, and you know what the best part about it is? It feels darn right playing it. You can only enjoy it on iOS currently, so if you recently switched from Android, you should make sure to check it out. It's worth every penny.

In case you start playing, you will definitely be interested in how to unlock every ship in FTL .

2 Knights of the Old Republic

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Yep, that's right - it's time for some Star War mentions! This much-loved RPG lets you be a Jedi in an original Star Wars story, so its place on this list was assured. After all, when it comes to sci-fi, Star Wars is an 800-pound lightsaber-wielding gorilla.

KOTOR has all the right elements to be among our top picks for this list, but we'll leave that up to you to decide. You can read our Knights of the Old Republic review , or you can try it out yourself. Either way, there's no wrong choice here.

KOTOR feels good on the bigger touchscreens, and it's not only a good RPG, but also one of the best sci-fi games on iOS of all time. Period.

Inside

A brilliantly dark slice of dystopian sci-fi, all wrapped up in a taut platform-puzzler. Inside creates one of the most eerily beautiful sci-fi worlds in gaming. Some features might seem familiar, especially if you are accustomed to playing Limbo - after all, it's from the same developers!

Inside feels a tad darker though, and this dark project that you find yourself soon tangled up with proves to be a rather eerie and exciting adventure. If you love a good adventure game, make sure to try this one out. You should also read our Inside review if you would like to learn about our experience playing it.

4 Out There

Out There

This next game is a fairly similar one to another we've already mentioned, but equally (if not more) exciting. We're talking about, of course, Out There. This iOS space game is a little bit like FTL, but with less micromanagement and more narrative impact. It's basically a brilliant, lonely choose-your-own space adventure of epic proportions.

The comic book-like features only enhance the experience, making you feel like you're reading through a sci-fi story, except it's a lot more lively and you are the one who dictates in what direction things are deaded. It's just that good!

Make sure to also read our Out There review !

5 Star Traders: Frontiers

Star Traders: Frontiers

Star Traders: Frontiers is a staggeringly accomplished RPG, ported successfully from PC. Given how well it plays on mobile, you would've probably never guessed that. However, it has some console-quality features that have remained, but that only makes it better.

This is an ambitious open-world sci-fi adventure that lets you mould your own adventure as the captain of your own ship. Fight, trade, steal, explore - it's entirely up to you. Since it's all a matter of space and principles, you can assemble your very own crew and start navigating the galaxy. It's a fantastic role-playing game that every sci-fi enthusiast should try.

6 Transistor

Transistor

The mere prospect of a follow-up to Bastion, one of the most distinctive action-RPGs of the past decade, was tantalising enough. That Transistor turned out to be a completely original and thoroughly compelling slice of sci-fi is just an extra dollop of gravy on top.

Since action-RPGs sometimes tend to get over the top, you might expect this one to be like that too. Well, it's not. In Transistor, you can really enjoy the role-playing part a lot, given that you actually control everything. Make sure to check out our Transistor review if you're eager to see how our experience was playing it.

7 The Talos Principle

The Talos Principle

Let's be honest for a second - when you think about sci-fi, you're probably picturing a world led by robots, AI and all sorts of androids. Well, that, and flying cars. All in all, you wouldn't be too far off. In The Talos Principle you basically wake up in a strange, strange world and have to solve various puzzles in order to get out.

It is an inventive first-person puzzler where the plot touches on classic sci-fi subjects like philosophy, VR, and AI. The touch controls feel natural, and everything else is just... good. The Talos Principle simply screams odd, the very first second you dive right in. And if you're not completely sure what we mean by that, you should read our The Talos Principle review .

It's probably one of the best sci-fi games you'll get your hands on if you love AI.

8 Gemini Rue

Gemini Rue

In Gemini Rue you have a brilliant pixelated game with classic point-and-click adventure elements, and where an alluring future-noir plot takes the lead. This mobile adaptation is done exceptionally, so if you are wondering about the quality of the gameplay and whether or not it's missing some key features, worry not - it's not the case.

All in all, Gemini Rue features some top-quality attention to detail, narrative, and a plot that twists and turns in unexpected ways. You can swap stories, and complete them as you see fit, and generally makes for a great sci-fi adventure to delve into. We wholeheartedly recommend you give it a try!

You can also read our Gemini Rue review if you want to learn more about the gameplay!

9 EVE Echoes

EVE Echoes

EVE Echoes is an online space simulator. The game is a space sandbox that gives you access to hundreds of different activities. Moreover, all activities in EVE Echoes can be done in cooperation with other players, teaming up with them in small squads and alliances or corporations with hundreds and even thousands of members.

In EVE Echoes, you can fight in space battles, trade resources, and do many other activities. In this game, you will be able to find a suitable role for yourself. You can choose your spaceships from a list of hundred unique units. In addition, each type of transport can be upgraded at your own discretion with the help of various additional modules and improvements.

10 Beholder 2

Beholder 2

Beholder 2 tells a rich, dystopian sci-fi story about state surveillance, as you bring a repressive regime's advanced gadgetry to bear on its citizens. It's essentially 1984: The Game, but with an expressive art style and a dark sense of humour.

You may find some elements that resemble real-life situations, but that's exactly what gives it the appeal. You have a sci-fi creation that knows exactly what it aims to achieve, and does so in an impressive way. Beholder 2 is one of the best iOS sci-fi games even in 2023, and it's not just us being biased, but a fact.

11 Code Atma

Code Atma

Code Atma is set in a faraway tech world, where humans have to fight a sort of secret war to keep humanity afloat. In reality, the game combines a beautiful narrative with anime graphics and a brilliant battle system. You have a clash between the mystic and tech, and that's enough to land a high spot in our book already.

This RPG also features all the mandatory features of anime role-playing games, and that includes a gacha system. So, if you're not a fan of that, you might want to skip this one. However, if you like everything so far, you will probably love Code Atma. We've even written a Code Atma tier list of the best characters , so if you want to have a better experience playing it, make sure to check it out.

12 Xenowerk Tactics

Xenowerk Tactics

From the name alone, you can probably guess that you've got an outer space sci-fi strategy meant to challenge the universe. And that's exactly what it is. Pixelbite takes the militaristic sci-fi world of Xenowerk and applies it to a deep turn-based strategy experience. The result is tense and tactical, like you're plotting the advance of the marines in Aliens.

Oh, and you also have some stunning graphics to go along with it. The best part, however, would have to be the fact that you can connect with other players and develop a wide variety of strategies. You can recruit people and complete missions, and while it may sound simple in theory, in reality, it's so much more. Just check it out, we're positive you will quickly find its appeal.

13 SpacePlan

SpacePlan

Since we're mentioning sci-fi games, we cannot overlook the slightly simpler ones and go just for the big and complicated names. That brings us to SpacePlan. SpacePlan is a clicker with a difference - it also spins a cracking sci-fi yarn, with a healthy dose of silliness.

This space clicker is so much fun, you won't believe it is actually a standalone title and not just us rambling about in an article about it. Just check our SpacePlan review - it has a rich and compelling narrative, idle/clicker mechanics, upgrades and enhancements, planet-expanding and virtual paradoxes.

If you believe you are ready for it, make sure to check it out. We were genuinely surprised by how well it feels and plays, and probably so will you.

14 Ticket to Earth

Ticket to Earth

Ticket to Earth is an exceptional puzzle RPG with an entertaining sci-fi plot concerning mutant insects and rampaging robots - all rendered in an entertaining comic book style. It is a brilliant creation with a unique approach, so you really want to take your time and learn the mechanics behind it, especially if you love deeply strategic games.

Oh, and you shouldn't let yourself be taken aback by the intro - everything will soon make sense if you just take your time and enjoy the ride. After all, you have the ticket (mind the pun).

We also have a Ticket to Earth review, so if you want to read about our experience playing it, make sure to check it out.

15 Void Tyrant

Void Tyrant

Void Tyrant is a single-player card battler that leans on the basic premise of Blackjack/21 for its key hook. But it's also an entertaining choose-your-own-adventure-like sci-fi romp. There are hundreds of cards, countless strategies to be discovered and the turn-based battles only intensify the more you learn.

The graphics are nothing to write home about, but they are trying their best to make this intense game feel less... challenging. In my opinion, it doesn't - it's a title that forces you to make decisions in the most unlikely moments, and plan ahead every step of the way. Still plenty of fun for TCG and sci-fi aficionados alike!

16 Invisible, Inc.

Invisible, Inc.

We are already familiar with some of Klei's creations, and this one is a clear contender for the top. Invisible, Inc. is a remarkable stealth strategy game that has you sneaking through some incredibly tense missions in a stylish cyberpunk universe.

It closely resembles a spy game - it actually is one, just an incredibly well-disguised one. Disguised as a tactical creation with strong James Bond vibes. You wouldn't wanna miss it. We've also put together an Invisible, Inc. review to give you a clearer idea of what to expect from it. So, if you're up for a piece of high-stealth action, check it out.

17 Spaceteam

Spaceteam

Playing Spaceteam makes you feel like you're flying the Starship Enterprise with your buddies - if the Starship Enterprise was 2 million light years past its last service and being crewed by imbeciles. In Spaceteam you have to lead the ship by completing various tasks (kinda like in Among Us, except, worlds apart?) which are not at all intuitive at times.

In our Spaceteam review , we've mentioned that there are some instances where you've got comically bad encounters - these are perfect if you're all about games that provide great gameplay while not taking themselves serious at times.

18 Neon Chrome

Neon Chrome

What's that I hear, you like sci-fi shooters? Then how about this twin-shooter space game where you can blast through enemies with laser guns, all while trying to keep away from evil robots? Is that good enough? Well my friend, look no further because Neon Chrome has it all - and probably much more than you'd expected.

This entertainingly hardcore roguelike shooter has you running and gunning in a dystopian future dominated by corporations and neon signs. Which is typically a good thing to do, in our experience. The cyberpunk approach fits perfectly into Neon Chrome's atmosphere, and if you're a fan of that approach, you should read our Neon Chrome review before diving in - we've covered all the basic stuff you should expect beforehand.

19 XCOM: Enemy Within

XCOM: Enemy Within

Every sci-fi and strategy game enthusiast probably knows about the XCOM series by now, and rightfully so. Each title in the series has stunning graphics, a compelling narrative, and super entertaining gameplay. Such is the case with XCOM: Enemy Within too, a brilliant turn-based tactical game with an entertaining sci-fi B movie plot.

Here, Aliens are invading Earth, so you'd better outflank them. All you need to do is come up with a solid strategy and stick to it. There will be stages where more than just a strategy is needed - luck has to be on your side, but that's the fun part of it. If you haven't played any XCOM game before, make sure to read our XCOM: Enemy Within review first - it'll give you all the details you need to on why you need to play it right now. We are suggesting you begin with part one, and then proceed to XCOM 2, as its story continues.

20 Ingress Prime

Ingress Prime

A reboot of the game that put the team behind Pokemon GO on the map (pun unintended), Ingress Prime is a slick real-world AR adventure with a thrilling sci-fi premise. You basically have a similar approach to Pokemon GO - you need to go around the city, collect information and slowly (but surely) piece everything together into something bigger .

Consider yourself warned though - at the very start, not much will make sense. Bear through this because once it starts to really unfold, it's a brilliant and unique experience that is well worth diving into. If you want to better understand how to play the game, you should read our Ingress Prime review .

21 Punishing: Gray Raven

Punishing: Gray Raven

Punishing: Gray Raven is a game with so much potential that it'll be hard not to love it the moment you lay hands on it. This RPG takes place in the far future, in a world where civilisation is led by Mechanoids, and the Punishing virus is trying to take over.

You have several characters to play and unlock their story, and then play secret chapters, missions and collect all sorts of next-gen weaponry to aid you in the battles against the Corrupted. It's a truly magnificent game, and despite some backlash it's received some time ago, it is still worth mentioning in our list.

If you want to learn more about it, you should check our PGR tier list and use all of the redeem codes for Punishing Gray Raven to get a good headstart.

22 Full of Stars

Full of Stars

What first appears to be a fairly simple space-cruising game, soon turns out to be much more than meets the eye. Full of Stars combines classic multiple-choice narrative fiction with enjoyable tappy-tappy arcade gameplay as you guide your spaceship across the galaxy.

In our Full of Stars review we mentioned that it has a couple of issues, but nothing that couldn't be overlooked. All in all, it's a tiny little game where a lot of attention has been put into the audio and visuals, and not only.

It is a great choice for every casual sci-fi addict that just wants to cruise and enjoy a casual stroll in their spaceship.

23 NieR Reincarnation

NieR Reincarnation

You've probably heard of NieR Automata in the past, or any kind of NieR game - it's a highly popular post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk-ish title that many quickly fell in love with. Well, that game is not available for mobile in NieR Reincarnation, and it's as awesome as one might expect.

The touch controls feel exactly the way they should, and the gameplay features stunning battles making this RPG a great choice for fans of the title. You have console graphics at your fingertips, and characters that will impress you, whether you like it or not.

Oh, and it might be worth mentioning that in a way it's similar to Punishing: Gray Raven and Genshin Impact - you have a gacha that is as unforgiving as any other RNG pull, so that's something you should know ahead of time. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful game that is worth trying if you want a brilliant RPG sci-fi game for iOS. If that's your cup of tea, you should take a look at the Nier Reincarnation tier list and a reroll guide .

24 Star Trek: Fleet Command

Star Trek: Fleet Command

We wouldn't have a complete sci-fi list without even a slight mention of Star Trek. That leads us to our next iOS space game, Star Trek: Fleet Command. If you're even vaguely familiar with the name, you probably know what to expect - if you guessed a battle between ships, civilisations, and territory, all set in outer space, you'd be correct.

Star Trek: Fleet Command is a well-designed and deeply immersive 4X mobile strategy game, but its true value is its Star Trek IP and Kelvin Timeline setting. And if you don't know what that means, you should probably read the Star Trek: Fleet Command guide for beginners to give you a rough idea.

The PC game has a ton of fans worldwide, and this mobile version doesn't come short of that either.

25 Infinite Lagrange

Infinite Lagrange

The last but clearly not the least game to delight us with a mention on this list is Infinite Lagrange. This brilliant sim has you building a base in outer space, forming fleets, and exploring the universe in order to get stronger and be able to conquer even more. Simple, right?

The graphics, however, are something quite out of this universe. The realistic approach places Infinite Lagrange in a tier of its own, especially since the gameplay is fairly casual. You have an absolutely stunning game, with good controls, that doesn't scream pay-to-win every step of the way. That's quite a rare sight nowadays, especially when it comes to online games.

We've even put together a list of Infinite Lagrange beginner tips to help you out! So if you want to start off on the right foot, make sure to check it out!

Screen Rant

J.j. abrams’ star trek made starfleet academy more important than ever.

Starfleet Academy was always a distant location during Star Trek's years on TV, but J.J. Abrams' 2009 movie firmly put the focus on its importance.

  • J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies elevated the importance of Starfleet Academy in the franchise.
  • Star Trek: Starfleet Academy series focuses on young cadets, while previous shows only briefly mentioned the institution.
  • J.J. Abrams' Star Trek finally realized a canceled TOS movie idea, emphasizing Kirk's journey from youth to leadership.

J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies made Starfleet Academy truly important in a way that the franchise had previously failed to do. The prestigious educational establishment will take center stage in the upcoming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy series, but the institution had largely been side-lined until J.J. Abrams' 2009 movie. With one or two notable exceptions, Star Trek 's regular or recurring characters have long since graduated from Starfleet Academy before their story truly begins.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will be all about the adventures of the young cadets, with serving officers playing minor roles as educators or visiting lecturers. However, the planned Star Trek: Discovery spinoff isn't the first property to depict the trials and tribulations of Starfleet Academy's student body. Over a decade earlier, J.J. Abrams' Star Trek began at Starfleet Academy, focusing on the student days of its most legendary graduates.

Starfleet Academy Wasn’t Really Important Until J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek

Prior to Star Trek (2009), Starfleet Academy was an Earthbound location that various Trek shows returned to in a handful of episodes. One of the most notable of these was the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The First Duty", which focused on Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) and his role in the Nova Squadron cover-up. Generally though, Star Trek would avoid returning to Starfleet Academy, given that the main cast had all graduated and had no real reason to return. J.J. Abrams changed this by using Starfleet Academy as a location to establish the character of James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and the fellow students that would eventually make up the crew of the USS Enterprise.

Star Trek (2009) established Starfleet Academy as a tangible location in the Star Trek universe. Viewers had heard multiple stories from the likes of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) about their misadventures at the Academy. However, as a location that was rarely visited, it was often hard to relate to Star Trek characters' Starfleet Academy origins . Wesley Crusher and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 's Nog (Aron Eisenberg) helped to give viewers a greater understanding of the Academy. However, it wasn't until theatergoers saw the early experiences of Kirk and his crew that fans began to truly understand the importance of Starfleet Academy as a proving ground.

Abrams Star Trek Finally Did A Canceled TOS Movie Story

J.J. Abrams' Star Trek finally realized an idea first pitched by Harve Bennett and David Loughrey for a potential sixth Trek movie. It was an idea that Bennett had held on to for some time, but began to gain traction following the critical and commercial failure of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier . Envisioned as a way to cut costs with a younger cast, Star Trek: The First Adventure a.k.a. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy bears striking similarities to the Chris Pine movie. Like Star Trek (2009), Bennett and Loughrey's movie would have seen Kirk come of age, moving past the folly of youth to become a great leader.

In the book Charting the Undiscovered Country: The Making of Trek VI, Loughery described the central dynamic of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 's Kirk and Spock as " rivals " that " end up as friends." It's a description that may as well describe the dynamic between Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto's own versions of the iconic Star Trek characters. Not only did J.J. Abrams return to this story for his 2009 movie, the upcoming Star Trek: Discovery will presumably introduce their own Kirk and Spock; two students that began as rivals before becoming one of the most unbeatable partnerships in Starfleet history.

Star Trek: 7 Worst Planets To Live On

Exploring strange new worlds in Star Trek isn't always exciting, and sometimes Starfleet finds the worst planets they could live on.

  • In the Star Trek universe, seemingly beautiful planets can be dangerous or dull to live on, like Platonius with its telekinetic powers but non-existent immune system.
  • Vulcan may be interesting to visit for its history and culture, but its arid climate, harsh deserts, and destructive storms make it difficult to live there.
  • Risa may be a paradise for visitors, but its lack of defenses leaves it vulnerable to invasions, making it more suitable as a resort rather than a permanent residence.

The Star Trek universe might seem like a better place to live when it's all about high-tech space stations and holodeck recreation. No matter where quadrant the stories, shows, and movies take audiences, there's always a beautiful new planet to visit, but just because something is pretty doesn't mean that it isn't dangerous or dull.

RELATED: Star Trek’s Planet Classes, Explained

Some of the worst planets to live on in Star Trek might look decent at first, but that's how people are tricked into going there in the first place. In some cases, Starfleet explores a strange planet because of a mission or experiment and end up trapped there. Some planets are nice for visits or short stays but nobody wants to live there.

7 Platonius

Star trek: the original series (season 3, episode 10: plato's stepchildren).

The plight of Parmen and his fellow Platonians is an example of how something that seems flawless can turn sour or even life-threatening. The Platonians are the results of a eugenics program that took place in their home world, and the atmosphere and setting of their new home have given them handy telekinetic powers.

The Platonians want nothing, as any whim or desire can be fulfilled by using their powers or commanding a servant to do so. However, the trade-off is an almost non-existent immune system, which means that even the common cold or a simple cut means certain death. All this and no doctor in sight makes this one of the worst Star Trek worlds for someone to want to live in.

6 Vulcan (Ni'Var)

Star trek: the original series (season 2, episode 1: amok time).

The tourism value of visiting Vulcan is better than actually visiting the place. That's not to say humans can't be happy here, they would have to make peace not only with the lack of any emotional expression but also with the arid climate and thin atmosphere along with little green space and even less water.

RELATED: Star Trek: Important Moments In Vulcan History

The vast deserts that make up most of Vulcan's surface are home to some harsh and destructive electrical storms, making travel difficult or impossible. Given the history and culture, it would be an exciting place to visit, but living there would be difficult.

5 Ceti Alpha 5

Star trek: the original series (season 1, episode 24: space seed).

Ceti Alpha 5 was a nice place when Captain Kirk marooned Kahn Noonien Singh and his crew there in the TOS episode "Space Seed." Then its sister planet, Ceti Alpha 6, exploded and shifted the orbit of the planet, killing virtually all of the indigenous life and making it a dangerous wasteland.

The only life forms left were Kahn, his crew, and a savage little creature that fed on human brains. It might be one of the most inhospitable places in the whole universe, with anyone even visiting falling victim to the brain-eating critters or a first-generation Augment with a bad attitude.

Star Trek: The Next Generation (Season 3, Episode 19: Captain's Holiday)

The name for this planet likely comes from the Spanish word that means "smile" or laugh" which might be true for visitors but not for inhabitants. Risa is a "pleasure planet" designated The food is great, the scenery is even better, and everyone sits around and does nothing all day. Imagine trying to get anything productive or time-sensitive done on a planet like this.

RELATED: The Most Dangerous Planets In The Star Trek Universe The temperate climate is an artificial one built by the native Risians, and they spent a lot of time and resources to maintain it to support their vast tourism industry. They have few weapons or defenses as a result, which leaves the planet vulnerable to invasions and economic disasters. Risa is a paradise, but one that should be used as a resort, not a place to live.

3 Shore Leave Planet

Star trek: the original series (season 1, episode 14: shore leave).

It takes a while for the crew of the Enterprise to figure out the secret of this planet, and until they do, this is a horror episode . It's based on the same premise as the movie "Forbidden Planet" in which subconscious thoughts are manifested into reality, and that's just as terrifying as it sounds.

In this case, the so-called "real hallucinations" aren't harmful, and even things that look threatening are either fake or temporary. Another example of a planet that might be fun for a vacation or shore leave, but it's one of the worst planets to live on.

2 Sigma Iotia 2

Star trek: the original series (season 2, episode 20: a piece of the action).

Plenty of dinner parties use this motif for the fun and games aspect but imagine living on a planet where this is the whole culture, right down to the goofy accent. The gangster world of Sigma Iotia 2 would be fun at first, but only as long as it takes to snap a few pictures and drive a vintage car. Spock is right when he refers to the altered state of his planet as a "contamination."

RELATED: Star Trek: Most Interesting Planets In The Franchise

In this case, a previous intergalactic visit failed to follow the Prime Directive by leaving a 1990s book about gangsters lying around. Even though everyone is armed to the teeth, they're not the sharpest knives in the drawer, and Kirk outsmarts them without breaking a sweat. It's not just a silly world, it's a boring, stupid one. However, The Captain's mission was to correct this mistake so things may have improved since the Federaton's last visit.

1 The Halkan Homeworld

Star trek: the original series (season 2, episode 10: mirror, mirror).

The first Star Trek episode that featured the Mirror Universe was more about showing how the Federation behaves versus the Empire when it comes to negotiations, but a detail that everyone misses is the world caught between them. The planet is never named other than being dubbed the Halkan's homeworld, and their pacifist culture has left them at the mercy of anyone who wants their rich dilithium resources.

With no weapons and no alliances, the Halkans have little to bargain with other than their mineral supply, an essential component for powering starships. When someone is after a resource that valuable, and they have the firepower to make an offer the inhabitants can't refuse, what's to stop them?

It's time to wrap up the 2023 /Film Holiday Gift Guide with what kids of all ages want for Christmas: toys and collectibles! Sure, it might seem unwise to spend your money on molded plastic and various other materials in this economy, but if we're going to engage in capitalism when Christmas is just around the corner, we might as well buy things that bring us joy. 

In this installment of the gift guide, we've got quite a collection of action figures and whatnot from the "Star Wars," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," "Jurassic Park" and Marvel Studios franchises. Plus, there's an eclectic assortment of Funko POPs, some fun board games inspired by movies and TV shows, and plenty of LEGO sets to build. On the pricier side, you can also snag some superb prop replicas and other high-end collectibles. There's something for movie fans of every kind here, so let's dig in!

Get Building With LEGO Sets

This year has delivered a spectacular mix of LEGO sets, ranging from awesome modular buildings to incredible vehicles from our favorite franchise. Whether it's the Ghost and Phantom II that came from "Star Wars Rebels" into "Ahsoka," or a model of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry castle grounds with magical secrets, or a slickly engineered Indiana Jones LEGO set that brings the opening scene of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to life, LEGO has delivered some of the coolest pieces of memorabilia. Most recently, they unveiled a massive building brick version of Avengers Tower from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And even though it's not from a movie, there's a set of the Orient Express train, which you can use to create your own makeshift "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" LEGO set.

Enter The DC Multiverse With McFarlane Toys

McFarlane Toys has been churning out endless variations of DC Comics superheroes and villains for years now. Many of them come from the pages of comic books, but we always like to see the figures based on the big screen adaptations of DC characters, and this year's line-up also includes some figures from the small screen too. Along with the sequels to "Shazam!" and "Aquaman," we've got the solo outings for "The Flash" and "Blue Beetle."

That because on top of all the theatrical releases from Marvel Studios, we also have all those TV shows getting action figures now too. Alongside the return of characters from "Ant-Man," "Guardians of the Galaxy," "The Marvels," and the Spider-Man franchise, we've got an assortment of figures from the likes of "Hawkeye" and "WandaVision." Hasbro is also updating certain movies from The Infinity Saga with new figures that needed better head sculpts. But that's not all; we also have the animated side of Marvel, which includes "What If...?" and the forthcoming "X-Men '97," as well as "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse."

Marvel's What If...?

Enter The Star Wars Universe

There are always ample amounts of "Star Wars" figures hitting shelves. That's what happens when you have a franchise that's been around for nearly 50 years that continues to expand. In fact, with Disney+ making the "Star Wars" universe even more prominent, there are more new "Star Wars" figures than ever, especially with the Black Series and Vintage Collection growing simultaneously. This year marked the 40th anniversary of "Return of the Jedi," so we highlighted some of the re-released figures that got a bit harder to find for awhile. But we've also cherry-picked new figures from "Andor," "Obi-Wan Kenobi," "Ahsoka," "The Book of Boba Fett," and "The Mandalorian." There are also the silly holiday figures that turn certain "Star Wars" troopers, droids, and creatures into Christmas-themed creations. 

Return of the Jedi 40th Anniversary

  • Admiral Ackbar
  • Darth Vader
  • Emperor Palpatine
  • Emperor's Royal Guard
  • Force Spirits: Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda Three-Pack

  • Luthen Rael

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

For fans of the video game side of the "Star Wars" universe, there's a  Starkiller and Troopers deluxe figure set that includes the powerful main characters from "The Force Unleashed" video game franchise, as well as a couple of stormtroopers for him to mess up. Starkiller comes with an outstanding assembly of accessories, including Force blasts, energy explosions, Force lighting, lightsaber pieces that makes it look like the blades (both red and blue) are in motion, and several head sculpts. Even if you don't care about "The Force Unleashed," this set is worth buying for the accessories alone. 

The Vintage Collection

We're not going to dig into the Vintage Collection as deep as the Black Series, because they're not churning out figures as often. But there are a few stellar additions that are worth highlighting. First of all, the N-1 Starfighter from "The Mandalorian" has finally been released, and it looks spectacular. Even though you probably have enough versions of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader, there's a two-pack that comes with a battle-damaged Darth Vader, featuring that cool slashed helmet. And finally, Sabine Wren gets a cool deluxe figure that comes loaded with accessories, including a cute little lothcat as her buddy. Honestly, I wish more "Star Wars" figures got the deluxe treatment like this. 

  • The Mandalorian - Vintage Collection N-1 Starfighter
  • Obi-Wan Kenobi - Obi-Wan vs Darth Vader Two-Pack
  • Sabine Wren (Deluxe Figure)

Heroes In A Half-shell...Turtle Power!

We've already provided a close-up look at the outstanding action figures for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem," but the line is already expanding with more of the mutants, including a big "Mega Mutant" version of the mutated Super Fly (though he's not nearly as big as he should be, when compared to the movie's scale). There are even figures of the adorable kid versions of the turtles, affectionately labeled as "Turtle Tots."

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

  • Ninja Turtles Four-Pack (Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo)
  • Villains Four-Pack (Super Fly, Rocksteady, Bebop, Leatherhead)
  • Genghis Frog
  • Mondo Gecko
  • Mega Mutant
  • Turtle Tots - Leo & Donnie , Raph & Mikey 

Aside from the figures, there's also an outstanding new  Sewer Playset that takes some cues from the original sewer playset from the Playmates toyline from the '90s. Plus, you can get the  Pizza Fire Delivery Van for the turtles to cruise around in and shoot pizzas from. The new figures, vehicles, and playset for "Mutant Mayhem" really capture the spirit of the classic toys while bringing new style to them.

Classic Playmates Re-Releases

Did you know Playmates has been re-releasing the classic "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" toys from the '90s? They started with the basic turtles, but they also sent out a multi-pack of the original villains: Shredder, Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady. Plus, they dug into some of the cool variants, such as the Mutatin' line, that allows you to transform the heroes into unmutated turtles. There's also the classic Movie Star versions of the turtles, with skin details that more accurately represented the movies, as well as the Storage Shell figures, which hide weapons in their backs. They even brought back the old Turtle Van Party Wagon!

  • Mutatin' Turtles (Target Exclusives):  Leo , Raph , Donnie , Mikey
  • Movie Star Turtles
  • Storage Shell Turtles
  • Classic Villains (Shredder, Krang, Rocksteady, Bebop)
  • Turtle Van Party Wagon

NECA is still delivering new action figures inspired by the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movies and animated series, but the former collection may be running out of characters. They just released a two-pack of Professor Perry from "The Secret of the Ooze," as well as an Ultimate version of Shredder in the sequel. From the animated series, we've got an Ultimate version of April O'Neil. They're all packed with plenty of accessories.

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze - Professor Perry Two-Pack
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze - Ultimate Shredder
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Animated Series - Ultimate April O'Neil

Super7 has yet another wave of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" Ultimates figures up for pre-order, but only until December 15. This Ultimates line has been providing upgraded, and more detailed versions of the action figures original released by Playmates in the '90s. This time, Wave 11 gives us Rapper Mike, Ninja Nomad Leonardo, Rat King, and a Battle Damaged Foot Soldier. You can grab them all for $220 , which includes a special pack of extra weapons for each figure, or if you only want specific figures, they're $55 each.

Welcome To Jurassic Park

In case you haven't heard, Mattel has an impressive collection of action figures based on the "Jurassic Park" and "Jurassic World" franchises, including both humans and dinosaurs. More recently, the Jurassic World Legacy Collection and Hammond Collecton toy lines have been digging into franchise history with new action figures, vehicles, and dinosaurs based on scenes from the movies. We've rounded up our favorites from "Jurassic Park" and "The Lost World," as well as one from "Jurassic Park III" that you just can't resist. The details on the humans aren't great, but the accessories for them are oustanding. For my money, it's the vehicles and the dinosaurs (especially that Hammond Collection T-Rex) that make this line worth seeking out for display. And make sure you get that awesome Steven Spielberg figure from Mattel Creations. 

  • Jurassic World Legacy Collection: Dr. Ellie Sattler Risky Rescue Pack
  • Jurassic World Legacy Collection: Dr. Sarah Harding and Stegosaurus
  • Jurassic World Legacy Collection: Isla Sorna Capture Pack

It's Morphin' Time!

Hasbro has been unfolding the Lightning Collection of "Power Rangers" for awhile now, covering the various iterations of the teenage superheroes. For the most part, we're only interested in the original "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" line-up, and even though they've already covered all of those Power Rangers in previous action figure lines, a new remastered line of figures provides additional accessories and updated head sculpts. Plus, for the roleplaying fans out there, there's a new  Tommy Oliver Master Morpher that includes all of Tommy's power coins from over the years. It might be sold out already, so you may have to seek it out on the secondary market.

Hasbro Lightning Collection (Remastered Line)

  • Black Ranger
  • Blue Ranger
  • Green Ranger
  • Pink Ranger
  • Yellow Ranger

McFarlane's Movie Maniacs Have Returned

Back in the '90s, McFarlane Toys were giving adult collectors incredibly detailed action figures that most toy manufacturers weren't providing to grown up fans. Nowadays, plenty of toy makers are catering to the older fans, but McFarlane is still at it. This year they relaunched their Movie Maniacs line, providing detailed action figures of various characters from movies and TV shows, and they're typically characters that aren't usually given this kind of action figure treatment. 

For example, the first wave included these characters:

  • Alan Garner from The Hangover
  • Bugs Bunny as Superman
  • Gandalf the Grey from Lord of the Rings
  • Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz

More recently, McFarlane did an entire line of "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" figures for all four characters used in the movie:

As of now, the Movie Maniacs has expanded to included these characters:

  • Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings
  • Clark Griswold from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (December 3)
  • Pennywise from IT: Chapter Two (November 30)
  • Red Miller from Mandy
  • Sheldon as The Flash from Big Bang Theory
  • Sloth from The Goonies

Funky Funko POPs

There are so many Funko POPs out there that a ton of them ended up in a landfill . It seems like Funko has cut back somewhat as far as how many characters from movies and TV shows get the Funko POP treatment, but there are still plenty being made all the time. If anything, Funko has tried to make the POP figures a little more unique, rather than relying on the basic POP design that once defined the figures. Since it would take far too long to list all the new figures from 2023, we've highlighted some of our favorites here. 

  • 300 - Leonidas (Bloody)
  • Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom - Aquaman in Stealth Suit

The Noble Collection

The Noble Collection has a few key licenses that allow them to make outstanding prop replicas inspired by the Harry Potter franchise, Middle-earth, "Game of Thrones," and a few other key properties. Their Harry Potter collection is easily the most impressive, with prop replicas of Voldemort's various horcruxes, Harry Potter's Firebolt broomstick, the Marauder's Map, and more. Prepare to take the One Ring to Mordor with the sword Sting and an Elven Brooch to keep your cloak secure, but not until you've smoked out of Gandalf's pipe. Collect dragon eggs from "Game of Thrones," or prepare for brightest day and darkest night with the Green Lantern and its ring. Perhaps you'd just like to play a game of Jumanji with a carefully crafted prop replica of the game from the original movie. Just stay out of the jungle.

Special shoutout to this "Jumanji" replica . It isn't quite as great as it would be if it were made out of wood, but when it comes to an affordable prop replica of the game that you can actually play, this is pretty much as good as you can get.

Perfect Prop Replicas

For the die hard cinephile, having artifacts from the movies you love is a great way to show your fandom. Sadly, getting ahold of any real props from movies is rather pricey. But slightly more affordable are prop replicas that bring home some of the most awesome pieces of movie history. Whether it's an elegant weapon from a more civilized age like Ahsoka's lightsaber or the deadly tomahawk wielded by DC's Peacemaker, there are weapons ready for display. For those who aren't preparing for battle, you can collect dino DNA in a cryogenic canister from "Jurassic Park" or wipe away memories with the "Men in Black" neuralyzer. Take a sip from the Holy Grail from "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," or summon spirits with the party hand from "Talk to Me." Catch ghosts with the "Ghostbusters" Ghost Trap and PKE Meter, only available until December 12 from HasLab . Keep in mind, it takes a long time to produce these high quality items, so some of these are pre-orders that won't be fulfilled for awhile.

Games Of All Kinds!

Disney's Lorcana

You might have already heard about Disney's Lorcana, because the new trading card game has been taking the industry by storm. Cards are hard to find and selling out everywhere, and the game had incredible hype out of D23 Expo before it was even released. The gameplay isn't dissimilar from Magic: The Gathering or Pokémon, but it uses Disney characters, locations, and elements in its own universe. You'll want to begin with a starter deck, which includes all the fundamentals you need to begin, including the rules and a booster pack with cards that will enhance your starter deck, with the possibility of finding more rare cards that will make your deck stronger for battle. The game launched back in August, but Rise of the Floodborn decks are now expanding the game, with many more new cards on the way. Finding cards can be difficult right now, but if you get your hands on some and like trading card games, this one is a lot of fun. 

  • The First Chapter Starter Deck - Amber and Amethyst
  • The First Chapter Starter Deck - Ruby & Emerald
  • The First Chapter Starter Deck - Sapphire & Steel
  • The First Chapter Booster Packs
  • Rise of the Floodborn Starter Deck

The Arkham Asylum Files: Panic in Gotham City

New technology has made board games more sophisticated than ever. When it comes to Infinite Rabbit Holes' game The Arkham Asylum Files: Panic in Gotham City , augmented reality tech using phones and tablets helps provide a game that is a board game, an escape room, a puzzle box, and even an animated/live-action series with a mystery adventure to bring players into the heart of Gotham City. There are multiple chapters with immersive gameplay that will really bring some refreshing excitement to game night. 

The Villainous games from Disney have become big hits, and after the success of the Disney debut game, they've since expanded into Marvel and Star Wars territory. In this tabletop card game, you'll become a villain in those respective universes and use your own unique card decks to achieve your individual goals in order to become the biggest bad of them all. There are various versions of the Villainous games, including multiple in the Star Wars and Marvel universes. Below are the newest titles to hit shelves, featuring a variety of new bad guys to play with. This one is fun for the whole family, so enjoy! 

  • Star Wars Villainous: Scum and Villainy
  • Marvel Villainous: Twisted Ambitions
  • Disney Villainous: Filled with Fright

Oscilloscope's Celluloid

Oscilloscope's Celluloid card game looks like one of those games where you really need to play it in order to get the hang of it, but at the very least, it looks intriguing for all the movie fans out there. As the site describes the game:

Celluloid is the action-packed, lightning-quick multiplayer card game that uses images and word prompts to trigger memories and creativity. Use the cards you're dealt to build your answer - A real movie or TV show - and watch your friends rack their brains to guess correctly.

It looks like the cards set the stage for the dealer, and it's up to the rest of the players to figure out what movie the cards have triggered in the dealer's head. Sounds like it could be challenging and fun for all you cinephiles out there. 

An Assortment of Fun

For a little card battling action, check out the Star Wars Deckbuilding Game, where over 50 different cards allow players to take command of their favorite Star Wars characters, vehicles and starships, each with thematic abilities, such as the Death Star and the Rebels' base on Hoth. Meanwhile, the Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Game takes players through the journey of the movies by utilizing a unique "game book" with pages that turn to new boards representing pivotal scenes. Finally, the Nightmare Before Christmas premium dice set isn't a specific game, but they will bring some stop-motion style to your next game night that requires dice.

Fancy a Game of Chess?

You can never go wrong with a good chess set. One of the best that I've seen is easily The Noble Collection's Harry Potter Wizard Chess set, inspired by the final challenge in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." Right alongside it is their "Lord of the Rings" chess set, which is positioned on an incredible 3D board resembling the architecture of Gondor. Within the board is an ancient map of Middle-earth mounted below the playing surface, and the base features actual images of the memorable characters and scenes. You can also play some Tridimensional Chess from "Star Trek" for a new challenge, or classic chess with some high quality pewter pieces featuring the characters of "Star Wars."

Video Games

Video games based on or inspired by movies aren't as prominent as they used to be, but there are still some fun ones out there. "Spider-Man 2" is the hit sequel to the PlayStation take on the webslinger, and "Star Wars Jedi: Survivor" picks up the story after "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order." Then we have "Alien: Dark Descent" and "Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora," immersing you in the cinematic worlds of James Cameron (and Ridley Scott). Plus, did you know there's a new "TRON" game? If you'd rather go retro, the original "Gargoyles" video game has been remastered and released, so you can relive your childhood fun. See if anything here can keep you busy for awhile!

  • Alien: Dark Descent
  • Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
  • Gargoyles Remastered
  • Hellboy: Web of Wyrd
  • Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria
  • Scott Pilgrim vs the World: The Game Collector's Edition
