  • D-A-C stands for the three modes of play available in the game: Deathmatch, Assault, and Conquest.
  • The game's levels will feature different objectives, and each level has been designed to have a completion time of ten minutes
  • Players will be able to upgrade their ships during play by collecting various power-ups (each faction has 4 unique special weapons as well)
  • The game is more arcade-focused with the title being delivered without a narrative. This, as the developer claims, is to prevent the biggest mistake that movie tie-in games make which is to have the game follow the plot of the film.
  • The game has been built to allow downloadable content which is being released as of November 2009, concurrent with the Blu-ray release of the motion picture
  • The PC version was pre-optimized to run in stereoscopic 3D on NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision by NVIDIA. DDD and iZ3D pre-optimization was arranged by the S-3D Gaming Alliance.
  • In addition, PC version has some GPU accelerated PhysX effects.

    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.

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

    Metacritic reports the game has an overall average score of 62/100.
