A Cardassian-Human romance for the ages...

Episode 51 "Mudslinging" of Star Trek Lower Decks: The Badgey Directive needs a romantic off-shoot novel, methinks!

I usually refuse to pay for stuff in mobile games on principle but the weekend event in Lower Deck Badgey Directive has Kathryn Janeway as a prize and I super want her.

Star Trek: Lower Decks: The Badgey Directive

Original Release: 2022

Developer: Mighty Kingdom

Publisher: East Side Games

Platform: Android/iOS

The Badgey Directive is an idle clicker game set on the USS Ceritos. Boimler is doing training in the holodeck doing menial tasks when Mariner spices things up by challenging the computer to create a task Boimler can’t win – the computer recreates Badgey who then sets the crew on tasks taken from the history banks – past missions from previous shows.

The game itself is quite simple. Icons charge up, when they’re ready you tap on it to get merit points. You spend these merit points to upgrade the icons and unlock new ones, which lead to more merit points. You can add a member of the Ceritos crew to a task to collect the merit points automatically. On top of merit points, you can get latinum (which is spent to skip requirements for buying/upgrading new things, or dilithium which is spent on upgrading characters and simulations.

What makes the game work are the little story segments you get as you hit milestones. The dialogue is extremely charming and it’s great seeing the Lower Deckers take on these missions. It’s great seeing them talk about the Kelpians and Saru, and to chase the artic explorer from the Enterprise episode “Regeneration” and realise that these unknown aliens the NX-01 faced were the Borg.

Getting in the way of this game is the adverts. If you don’t watch the adverts, your merit points are effectively halved. If the adverts were harmless, I wouldn’t mind, but I was served adverts for fake apps, apps aimed at taking advantage of gambling addicts and even adverts for games about sexually assaulting women. It massively sours the experience and it desperately needs some moderation.

I got to episode 16 before I hit the inevitable “wall” where progression turned from a few hours to weeks. At this point, the chore of playing wasn’t worth it to see more snippets of the story. I would much prefer this game in the form of a digital comic.

2023 wrap-up

I'm ready to move on from this year. Living with multiple overlapping chronic health conditions took its toll, affecting my capacity and motivation for my podcasting, art, and scanlation hobbies. My main focus as far as this blog is concerned was playing games and reviewing them, although I also kept up a consistent weekly stream schedule. For my annual heroines pixel art see here!

My big thing on stream was playing "All the Bonks", every BC Kid/Bonk/PC Genjin game out there; this was a lot of fun as I grew up with Super BC Kid. The release of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk prompted a small rash of Jet Set Radio-inspired games including the excellent Butterflies. I played all of the Wario Land games, to mixed feelings. Other small trends were the Darksiders series, games with grapple mechanics, aquatic games, and rail shooters. I caught up on some big indie hits like Hollow Knight, Celeste, and Hyper Light Drifter which were very rewarding, as well as other delightful indies like Tinykin, sylvie's games, A Short Hike, Antonball, and Zeepkist. I'll also remember this as the year that I struggled through the La Mulana games, an experience both deeply frustrating and fulfilling. Now let's do some awards so I can have a rest.

"Most surprisingly cute character" goes to Buddy, the little spider from Aussie game Webbed, which also had my favourite grappling mechanics this year. Runners up are Pronty, the Vessel, and Myu the baby dinosaur from Blue: Legend of Water. All of sylvie's characters are cute but that's not surprising. "Best Soulslike" was hotly contested by Darksiders III, Sekiro, and Hollow Knight, but I'm giving it to Jedi Survivor this time, and not just because my friend worked on it. "Most improved sequel" is a good one to bring back; La Mulana 2 takes it although Wario Land 2, Darksiders III, and Child of Eden were strong contenders. "Least improved sequel" came up a lot this year, with Pixeljunk Eden 2, Jaws Ultimate Predator, and Wario Lands 4 through 7 disappointing in various ways. Super Meat Boy Forever hurt the most though. "Best idle comfort game I can pull up on my phone when I'm too sick to move" is either Another Eden or Star Trek Lower Decks: The Badgey Directive by default. Vampire Survivors and Mario Kart Tour were also good for this. I don't have the energy to decide right now so they can all share.

OK, that's enough. Thanks for reading, and hope your 2024 is nice.

'Lower Decks' Takes on the AI Apocalypse in "A Few Badgeys More"

Lower Decks takes on the AI apocalypse with the return of THREE evil artificial beings in Episode 407, "A Few Badgeys More", and it upends its own cliches. Read our review.

Lower Decks is at its best when it takes on long-standing sci-fi tropes, many of which became tropes in the first place because of Star Trek, and takes them in a totally absurd direction while also embracing the the warm, fuzzy, optimistic hearts of its crew. Episode 407, “A Few Badgeys More”, does just that, while also providing payoff for long-running story lines (another thing Lower Decks is…

A quick summary for people who don't play the game:

After a bad first contact Mariner and Boimler investigate noises suspiciously similar to Mariner's farts after one too many burritos but are captured by an alien that starts to merge their minds and have to be saved by best ENT girl: Hoshi Sato.
