Reception

The latest versions of the game have received mixed reviews from critics. IGN's Hilary Goldstein and Daemon Hatfield point out in their review:

Star Trek D-A-C definitely benefits from the inclusion of the single-player Survival mode. The multiplayer modes were all that were available when the game was first released on XBLA earlier this year, and the package feels more robust now. Also, whereas we previously couldn't tweak game settings, we now can customize multiplayer matches. It's very cool that the developers listened to feedback from the first release and actually improved the game. Originally this was something you could have a few hours of fun with. Now, we reckon you can extend those fun times to a few days.
—Hilary Goldstein and Daemon Hatfield, IGN

They gave it a "decent" rating of 7 out of 10.[7]

Metacritic, which aggregates the scores of other major game reviewers, however was more pessimistic, ultimately giving the game a 62/100.[13]
