Video Game Reviews of Star Trek: Conquest

Customer Review: Star Trek Conquest - plenty fun, but not much trek
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a single player game of 4X: eXpand, eXplore, eXploit, eXterminate.
I happen to like 4X games.

The good: this game plays well, looks smooth, feels smooth, simple controls, easy to learn, difficulty starts low enough, very pretty.

The bad: 3 fleets, all ships in those three fleets, no control over admiral types for those fleets, only three classes of ships.

The odd: This is the only game I own which causes my Wii to overheat! Also, three different ways to resolve combat: Sim, a typical civ-game style shots-fly side-to-side and feel the simulated dice underlying the code, with limited player input (stance only); Instant, a more brutal but much faster and 0 stance input; and Arcade, where one is controlling the flagship in a decent tactical game. You get to pick which method for each generated battle.

The Ugly: The races really don't feel that different, and there are only 6 in campaign mode (8 in tactical scenarios). Map uses warp-links that restrict movement tightly; feels more like vorKosiverse or Starfire than Star Trek.

What it is missing: variety of ships, ability to have ships outside the assigned fleets, ability to have more than three admirals and thus three fleets. It really doesn't tie well to the source; this would have been better without the Star Trek theme; the theme is pretty darned well pasted on. It would help to see more of the tactical field in arcade mode.

Worth the $15 I paid for it... I got 20 hours of play before going cold on it.

Description of Star Trek: Conquest

Star Trek: Conquest is a single-player game of galactic conquest featuring a blend of strategy and action set in The Next Generation era. Players take control of Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Cardassian, Dominion, and Breen forces and lead them in a campaign to control the galaxy, one planet at a time. Players must build and manage their growing empires in turn-based strategy, and then engage in all out starship combat in real-time action.

Strategically, players must effectively manage their limited resources to expand their empire. Players can decide how to best achieve objectives by managing fleets, admirals, building support structures, researching technology and engaging enemies in combat. Once battle is initiated, the game switches to a ship level tactical view allowing players to take direct command of their ships and engage in real-time combat.
