Star Trek: Conquest

"There's some good strategy fun to be had here, but the good is offset by some problematic areas. Star Trek fans and old-school strategy fans will enjoy it the most."

Conquest does one thing, and does it well. Freed from all the TV actors and even the characters themselves, the game instead just rests comfortably in providing a tried-and-true game of strategy with enough variety and differences in play style to make every race feel like they can tackle the game differently. Granted, the limited scope means you won't be able to play the game for marathon sessions, but it's perfect in few-hour bursts.

"In terms of atmosphere and getting the Star Trek look and feel right, Conquest does a pretty decent job. Graphics are not especially detailed, yet it never feels like they need to be. The Galactic Map is represented in bright, blatant colours and ships are not detailed (and neither do they need to be)."
