Mine Enemy - Review

All I can say is wow. Is it just me or does each new mission released in the game get better and better? The first thing I want to comment on is the Orions. Where did they come from and why are they here? I remember them in another Romulan mission so I'm starting to think that some of them are siding with the Romulans and others with the Klingons. I also have a feeling that they will be playing more of a role as this series continues. Overall the mission was pretty amazing. It felt longer than the other ones, but not too long. The cut scenes were amazing and had the perfect angles. The voice overs really engaged me into the story. I love that they are adding these in. I really enjoyed the fact that doing one thing would affect something else in the mission. For example, if you kill the first guard in the mine then you'd have to face 5 groups of Romulans in the next chamber. Being diplomatic only makes you face one group. The Horta was also a great addition and probably my favorite part. For those who don't know, taking the path to the north of that central room lets you save a Horta and gives you an accolade. The one thing I didn't like was the battle with Janek. It felt very very buggy to me. One moment she was in one place, the next she was someplace else. My bridge officer kept getting stuck somewhere and those freed Romulan prisoners were always in my way. The good definitely outweighs the bad with this mission. Cryptic just continues to astonish me with the work they do. Plus it helps giving a pet Horta as a reward =D. Don't forget to give me your thoughts on this mission and check out the Mine Enemy Walkthrough if you need any help. On a side note, I have just started the official STO Academy fleet in game.
