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. Strategy game set in The Next Generation era - Planets held by Next Generation era races are set in a large galactic map, where turn-based strategy allows you to build and expand your empire. Real-time Starship combat - Take direct control of any ship and experience intense action as you engage in real-time combat. Resource Management - Wise spending on starbases, factories, research facilities, and starships determines success. Six Playable Races - Choose to command the Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Cardassian, Dominion, or Breen race, each with their own unique set of strengths and weaknesses. [Bethesda Softworks]

It’s a good game overall, especially for people who like strategy games but aren’t very fond of the frantic pace that something like Starcraft brings to the table. Conquest also lacks the complexity of a tabletop trading card game or series-based board game, which is fine by me.

Star Trek Conquest is an interesting game to say the least. The core game design is fun, but the amount of options, polish, and multiplayer (or entire lack thereof) brings the experience down more than a few notches.

Quite tedious at times, although the occasional close battle helps jazz it up a bit. [Feb 2008, p.62]

Cheat Code Central
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.

This is a decent little distraction for the right kind of board game-playing, Star Trek-nerd, Wii-owning gamers out there, but most of the rest will probably want to stay away.

Games Master UK
A passable strategy game, but not even fans will find much to love. [June 2008, p.80]

Hardcore fans of the series should give it a look, as long as you can get past the out-of-place story, and fans of the strategy genre will find a little solace here, but everyone else need not apply as Star Trek: Conquest is too simple and too bland to warrant its price tag.

Leave this one stranded on Ceti Alpha V – it’s of no use to you or the cause of the Federation.

If 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. Just do yourself a favor and pick up the cheaper PS2 version (or really, just rent it).

Game Chronicles
Star Trek: Conquest was way too rushed and seems for all practical purposes a quick cash in on the intense popularity of the Wii console at the time this was being made.

AceGamez
Star Trek: Conquest has the look and feel of a free online-based RTS offering, but without the whole online part. The game's Achilles' heel, of course, is its complete lack of depth.

GamingExcellence
Regardless - this is a classic example of a solid game suffering from poor execution.

EuroGamer
The game only offers a couple of hours' entertainment and they'd be better spent watching the TV show or one of the films, or trawling the Internet for erotic Wesley Crusher fan fiction.

Games Radar
Unless you routinely wear your Federation uniform in public, you're probably not rabid enough to get your money's worth from this one.

GameSpy
It's an offensively bad use of a cherished license, and it's an offensively simple and thoughtless strategy game.

GamePro
Set phasers to "avoid". [Mar 2008, p.87]
