conquest , enders gameSeptember 28, 2009 James Michael Mcleod 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a 40 yo man and remember playing pong on the atari system, so keep that in mind. I first played this game and got my a** kicked so many times I stopped playing and let it collect dust for 6 months. About 3-weeks ago I picked it up again and tried it out , now I love it and I'll tell you why- the reason I couldn't win was because I didn't know that when you are in arcade mode if you press the up + button all your ship will follow your lead and shoot the same target. After about an 1.5 hours I was able to beat the game with all 5 races on hard. Game over right ? Wrong ! I took a page out of the novel "Enders Game", highly recommended BTW, and imposed more more restrictions on what I could do. First I beat the game with 2 fleets (3 max), then with one fleet, then with no dreadnoughts, then with no cruisers. I was finally able to beat the game using 1 fleet of scouts ( with each race) with no "power-ups" only income, the stategic difficulty increases considerably, any reviews suggesting this game is simple should give it try. Now that I have put every restriction I could think of in place and won , I probably will not play it again, at least for a very long time. I got 3-weeks of great gameplay from this title. Is it Star Trek ? Not really but with familiar ships, races ect. Will it change your life ? Nope but it is fun the challage yourself. 4.5 stars.
Overpriced much?August 5, 2009 James King(Pittsburgh, PA) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The resellers of this game must be smoking some extremely potent stuff to put the price tag at a range of 73 dollars to the mid thirties. If I recall properly, when Amazon itself had this title in stock, it was $19. From my understanding of this game having played it with friends, it's worth twenty bucks, but not much more. It's no deep r.t.s., just a simple quick strategy game. If you want to buy it, buy it from a local reseller, and only if it's below twenty dollars.
Quite a good gameJune 10, 2009 Mr. P. Charles(United Kingdom.) This is actually quite a good game.
For those people who might not know it, there should be a save game option available on the Infrastructure screen, bottom left.
Star Trek Fan LOVES It!December 29, 2008 M. Sarrao(New Mexico, USA) I purchased this for my brother-in-law. He is a HUGE Star Trek fan. I was hesitant to buy it because of the mediocre reviews. However, he LOVED it! He practically sat in front of the TV playing this game for the remainder of his visit. His kids and my kids sometimes played along. They discussed strategy and shared advice/ideas. I don't know why this game has received some less-than-stellar reviews. I also don't know why it is rated E-10. There is no blood or graphic violence that I saw. You just blow up space ships - and they're not very "real" looking space ships at that. I recommend this game for Star Trek fans (Trekies?). My brother-in-law could barely put the remote down to have conversation with other adults!
Star Trek Conquest - plenty fun, but not much trekOctober 28, 2008 William F. Hostman(Eagle River, AK United States) 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.
