 conquest , enders game September 28, 2009

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.
Fun and addictive May 5, 2008

This game is a lot of fun. Controls take a little practice, but once you got it, it's really easy. It's fun to play as different races, shoot up other ships, and build facilities and fleets. If you lose some ground on turns, it doesn't really make you mad, instead, it enables you to learn from your mistakes and do things better the next time.
Star Trek Fan LOVES It! December 29, 2008

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!
 Addictive, simple, and very addictive November 26, 2007

It looks like serious amends were made in response to Legacy: Conquest has been drastically dunned down into a lovable arcade/respectably strategic console title. The simplification of this recent Star Trek franchise might be both its greatest strength and weakness. The learning curve of this game is low. Spending ten minutes with the controls is more than enough time to learn the basics and experience some real enjoyment, and given another hour one can master the physics and clash with the best of them. Conversely, this might rush some players into boredom too quickly, but with real differences among the races' attributes every campaign can bring some entertaining challenge. The arcade mode is restricted to a single plane of movement, and ship movement is quite intuitive with the Wii nunchuck. Aiming is a breeze with the remote and makes up for some depth in gameplay lost by the one plane restriction. The tactical aspect is nicely balanced, not overly complex, but having enough options to make it seem of some consequence. Resources, research, and fortification, thats about it. As mentioned, the differences among the species are noticeable and more depth is recovered in adapting to enemy advantages/disadvantages and battle behavior. My only complaint with Conquest is the complete lack of camera control. The screenshots out there are real and pretty, but you won't be getting that close to the action with exception to the opening cuts before each battle. Granted the given angle is ideal for gameplay, trekkies do love to indulge in the grandeur of their starships. Still, the game remains highly entertaining and supremely addictive (especially if you're a fan). At thirty bucks you can't go wrong, its a blast.
Great game at a great price November 29, 2007

I just got this game yesterday and I love it! It's very simple and easy to learn. There are a couple non-intuitive things but they're easily overcome.
It's a great space galactic strategy but really simplified so you can do the fun stuff. There's resource management but you don't waste a lot of time doing it. You either have a Starbase, Spacedock, or you don't. You have a mining station or a research thing or you don't. And you have turrets or you don't.
The battle mode is a lot of fun too. And even with the limited features, it actually requires strategy and planning to do well at this game. I got whopped in campaign mode the first couple times until I got the hang of what you need to do on the galactic level.
Great game. The only drawback that lead me to take off a star is the lack of a multiplayer mode. It wouldn't have been hard. Especially with the wii. Star Trek Encounters did it fine. This would have been really fun with multiplayer. I hope there's a downloadable patch to allow that or to play online at some point.
