Product Description
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.

This is a very fun game. You need to get a little used to it, but after awhile it gets really fun. One of the reasons it is fun is because it is never the same. It always changes.
A tip on the game........
When you get into a battle, unless you are positive that you are going to win, select the "arcade" syle. It not only lets you have the fun of doing it, but it also came make the outcome change from what it would have been if you selected "sim" or "instant."
Overall this game is really fun. Hope you enjoy.
 Fun, But Very Flawed - It's Empire or MOO for Kids May 12, 2008

This game is easy to learn and fun to play. After a few hours, it turns into a fancy game of Tic-Tac-Toe.
As a big fan of Interstel's Empire and Master of Orion I and II, I was disappointed
There are 3 fundamental problems with this game:
1) You can only have 3 fleets, which are basically the same thing as units. Can you imagine playing Empire or MOO with only 3 units for the entire game? It's insane! As soon as your fleet leaves to conquer a planet, the enemy moves in and steals one of your planets.
2) There is no build time, so once you get going, you can build EVERYTHING you need in one turn. So you can wipe out an ememy fleet and it's back to full strength on the next turn.
3) You get into situations where the game is an endless loop. They move their unit to steal your planet and then you move your fleet to where they just were, stealing their planet. It's a tie and the game NEVER ends, even if you have more planets.
With a little tweaking, this could have been an awesome game.
An ok game but fun enough March 4, 2008

I was going to give this three stars but then I reconsidered based solely on the fact that it is fun enough to play. It isn't that dynamic or cutting-edge but its relatively easy to pick up and play. The game manual is a bit vague (more so then usual for a turn-based game) so its not immediately clear what the special weapons do. If I had to do it again, I would buy it, but I would probably try to find a cheaper copy.
 Little Let Down January 27, 2008
I was so excited about getting this game since it's precursor Star Trek: Encounters was so awesome! Unfortunately there are fewer ships, only two dimensions, and fewer options than "Encounters." Yet is has so much potential. If they added the upper and lower planes of motion and more freedom as to number of fleets, ships, and movement I would have given it five stars.
