Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova

A looming stellar catastrophe gives this family-friendly Star Trek adventure a surprisingly urgent edge, as Dal R’El and Gwyndala scramble to reunite the scattered Protostar crew before an entire system is erased. Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova follows the young cadets across the unfamiliar planets of Orisi, Mirios, and Taresse, where strange cultures, hazardous terrain, and hostile machines turn every rescue mission into a race against time. Its tone lands between a Saturday-morning animated series and an accessible sci-fi action romp: colourful, energetic, and built around teamwork rather than grim survival. Familiar faces including Jankom Pog, Rok-Tahk, Zero, and Murf give the story the warmth fans expect from Prodigy, while a new enemy threatens more than just the ship.

Players control Dal and Gwyn alone or with a second local co-op partner, using their different strengths to move through combat arenas, environmental hazards, and puzzle-filled alien ruins. The core loop alternates between defeating waves of robotic opponents, investigating each planet’s problems, and solving mechanisms that often require coordination or careful use of the heroes’ abilities. Solo players can switch between the two leads when a challenge demands it, while co-op makes those same moments feel more naturally collaborative. Progression comes through advancing the story, rescuing crew members, and uncovering the secrets behind the planets’ crises rather than through an overly complicated loot system.

What separates it from heavier action adventures is its clear focus on approachable co-op problem-solving and the optimistic, exploratory spirit of Star Trek. The three worlds provide distinct visual identities and obstacles, preventing the campaign from becoming a string of identical robot battles, while the narrative keeps first contact and diplomacy in the foreground alongside the action. Combat is straightforward and the puzzles generally favour readability over brutal difficulty, making it a comfortable choice for younger players, newcomers, or parents playing alongside them. Fans of LEGO-style cooperative adventures, the Prodigy show, and light 3D action games find the most to enjoy here, though veteran players should expect a concise, accessible journey rather than a deep RPG.
