80Freed 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.
-
And considering that the game is $14.99, it would be illogical for fans of both strategic games and the Star Trek universe not to give Conquest a spin. [Feb 2008, p.85]
-
70There'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.
-
The limited gameplay itself is solid enough to warrant a few hours of space combat, but as a Star Trek title, Conquest simply doesn't live up to expectation.
-
60An enjoyable strategy game which needs more depth and variety to be truly arresting. It does what it does well, however developer 4J Studios have succeeded in making the game perhaps too simplistic, and definitely lacking any narrative pull or long-term appeal.
-
60Putting aside the bizarre lack of content, and the fact that each time you play you feel like your setting up a “quick match” on most other games, and the fact you achieve relatively nothing of worth when you win.
-
57The lack of any multiplayer at all is criminal, and the price tag is far too steep. [Issue#165, p.87]
-
50A classic example of a great concept that doesn't live up to its potential; there are some very interesting ideas on display but, like the vastness of space itself, they remain largely unexplored.
-
Fans and gamers deserve better than this. [May 2008, p.76]
-
Leave this one stranded on Ceti Alpha V – it’s of no use to you or the cause of the Federation. [Feb 2008, p.96]
-
50If you spend large chunks of free time debating the relative merits of Captain Picard and Captain Kirk, there's probably a teensy bit of enjoyment to wring out of this bare-bones game.
-
Star Trek Conquest punches gatling-phaser holes in purist Trekdom all over the place, but it still works on its own humble, low-budget, strategy board-game level. Space-warts and all.
-
30But unless you routinely wear your Federation uniform in public, you're probably not rabid enough to get your money's worth from this one.
-
The only thing less desirable than a 2D Star Trek strategy game in this day and age is a Jethro DVD covered in poo. [May 2008, p.79]
-
20It's an offensively bad use of a cherished license, and it's an offensively simple and thoughtless strategy game.

ForrestF.7You know, I wish that publishers and PR people would keep skewing these scores to get people to buy their games. Now way is this game a 9.
