Star Trek games haven't all been good. The half-baked "action" game Generations was one example of a license gone bad. But MicroProse's upcoming Klingon Honor Guard, slated to ship late this year, could restore honor to the Star Trek franchise.
Honor Guard is one of two action games for which MicroProse has licensed the Unreal engine (the other is First Contact), but it could be the more popular one because you get to play a bloodthirsty Klingon. | |
Developer: MicroProse
Publisher: MicroProse
Target Release Date: Q4 1998
Engine: Unreal
Synopsis: You play an elite Klingon Warrior who must cut and shoot his way through a murderous ring of traitors who are out to destabilize the Empire.
|
As a member of the Klingon Honor Guard, you have to hunt down some traitors who have made an attempt on the Emperor's life. As you progress through the game, you'll uncover a conspiracy to take over the throne by some familiar Star Trek villains. Along the way, you'll encounter NPCs with whom you can fight or talk, including Kurn, Worf's brother, voiced by actor Tony Todd.
COME GET SOME As a Klingon warrior, you'll get to kick traitorous ass, as well as mangle a few other alien species and droids in familiar Star Trek locales. |
The game will feature between 15 and 19 levels in a variety of environs. In addition to the Klingon High Council building on Q'onoS, the Klingon homeworld, you'll also travel to the snowy penal colony on Rura Pente, as seen in Star Trek VI. You'll also find yourself on a variety of Klingon and Andorian ships and a space station.
There will be plenty of vicious Klingon melee weapons and destructive firepower to use, as well as many Klingons, aliens, and monsters to fight. The graphics, likewise, are very impressive, since the game uses the very latest Unreal engine.
