The best Star Trek games

The best Star Trek games you can find in this universe. Set phasers to fun.

Welcome to our list of the best Star Trek games on PC. The dream of exploring space, meeting strange new life and new civilisations; cresting the Final Frontier in the next chapter of humanity’s story; kissing green aliens. All of that. 

Star Trek’s relation to games has always been… shaky. Unlike Star Wars, which had Lucasarts’ hand on the tiller for at least the 1990s, it’s always been a licensed property and not often a successful one. Some studios tried to squeeze Trek into a genre it's not suited for. Others were just cash-grabs, like Star Trek: The Game Show, which relied on the comedic stylings of Q and his lovely female assistant Q to cover a truly soulless trivia contest. Still, companies keep trying, from early test adventures like The Kobayashi Alternative to the crappy game version of the JJ Abrams reboot.

But we’re not interested in those. What are the Trek games that do Gene Roddenberry’s vision proud? Here are our favourites, a collection of games which at least do enough to capture the Star Trek magic, even sometimes despite themselves. 

Star Trek: Judgment Rites

Judgement Rites isn’t the greatest game on this list, but it's arguably the best at putting you into the show. There's an authentic mix of bridge banter and combat and you're doing classic Star Trek tasks, like flying to new worlds and beaming down away teams to sort out their problems. Like its predecessor, 25th Anniversary, it followed the show’s episodic model, pitting Kirk and co against scenarios like Trelane recreating World War I on a distant planet, and a rift in time that promises the end of the Federation within eight days. Unlike 25th, there was also something of a running story involving a mysterious race watching the crew and seeing how they solved these problems, adding a little extra drama to the mix.

Neither the combat nor the adventuring is exactly top-tier, but they made a delicious pairing that was totally in keeping with The Original Series. It’s no wonder that even decades later, many still hold it up as the high point of any crew’s PC adventures. 

Star Trek: Voyager, Elite Force 1 and 2

Elite Force is an rare case where it makes sense to turn Star Trek into a shooter. Voyager is lost in the depths of space, surrounded by enemies, and while risking the senior staff for every casual mission works for television, in reality it’s a pretty dreadful idea. Cue the creation of the Hazard Team, just in time for Voyager to get trapped in a spaceship graveyard full of particularly troublesome trapped alien types.

The first level, set aboard a simulated Borg ship, set a great tone, right down to the Borg not reacting to your presence until triggered. Little expense was spared. The whole crew (including, retroactively, Jeri Ryan) voice their characters, and a real effort made to make the Hazard Team feel like a unit. For a while, it was even suggested that the concept might be added to the show. It wasn’t, though something similar would show up in Enterprise in the form of the MACO assault unit. Best of all, as well as fitting the show surprisingly well, it was a very solid shooter and by far the best action game spin-off.

Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.

Star Trek: Starfleet Command

There are two basic ways to make a Star Trek game. Either you try and do everything, or you phaser-focus on one particular aspect. Starfleet Command goes all-in on space battles. Forget simply locking phasers and firing photon torpedoes, Starfleet Command is based on the table-top war-game Star Fleet Battles, and a brutal demonstration of just how hard it would be to lead a ship like the Enterprise into battle. Everything your ship has its at your disposal, from weapons to shields to special equipment, in full 3D.

It’s brutally hard, but satisfying with it. Three Starfleet Command games were released, adding proper campaigns and additional races. Later games would offer somewhat similar looking combat, though vastly stripped down to avoid the Command learning curve. Still, if you have what it takes, it’s a challenge that you won’t find elsewhere.   

Okay, this is cheating. EGATrek isn’t an official Star Trek game. However, if you’re of a certain age, it is likely the Trek game that you remember playing first. It’s based on a game called Nettrek, originally the preserve of university servers and the like, and originally simulated the adventures of the Enterprise versus the Klingons and Romulans. After a raised eyebrow and a cough from Paramount, that became the adventures of the Lexington against an invading race called the Mongols. So, totally different!

It’s Star Trek though, right down to the ship design and use of Stardates, and your goal is to travel around and blow up all the Mongols in the system. While not much to look at now, it was definitely fun for the time—and felt a good deal more tactical than it was. It hasn’t aged well, but its place in history means it earns a place here, albeit quietly. 

Star Trek: Borg

Borg is one of the most unusual Star Trek games. It’s an interactive movie, and that’s definitely a knock against it. It’s an interactive movie with style though, and some genuinely smart design. You play a cadet whose father was killed by the Borg. As you flee from another attack from the cyborg singularity, the all-powerful force of smugness Q appears and offers you a deal: go back in time with him, and see if you can save your father from his fate.

The result is genuinely surprising. Unlike the other big Star Trek interactive movie, Klingon, this one benefits from Q capering around and not taking anything even slightly seriously. You even get to kick him in the balls at one point. Star Trek games don’t get much more satisfying than that! It’s so good, the Wiki even lists ‘it is possible to punch Q in the face’ as a gameplay feature.

The true cleverness though is how it handles its time-travel premise. Screw up and Q resets time for you to try again, and quite often that’s required for a puzzle—one in particular involves getting some codes from the Borg Collective. How do you do that? Let yourself be caught, read them while you’re a Borg, and make use of them when Q rewinds time. That’s far too clever for an interactive movie, even if the rest of it—the pace, the acting, the depth—is what you’d expect. 

Star Trek: Bridge Crew

More than any other game, Bridge Crew attempted to create The Dream. It uses VR headsets to put you and your friends on the bridge of a Star Trek vessel. Largely inspired by Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator, it works by giving each of you a console and thus controls/information that the other players don’t have, which forces everyone to work together. The captain is in charge, but will only know the engines are about to explode if told. The captain order the phasers fired, but it’s the weapons officer who actually pulls the trigger. Success depends on how well the crew integrates and does their individual jobs.

The main problem with it is that once you’ve done this a couple of times, the lack of depth becomes very apparent. There’s not all that much to actually do, and doing it quickly becomes rote. It doesn’t help that for full effect, you need a whole cadre of friends with expensive VR equipment, which is about as likely as the Enterprise crew not using the holodecks for sex. Still, it’s the game that many fans have been waiting for, and certainly a trip while it lasts. 

Star Trek: Bridge Commander

Bridge Commander is the best of the ‘command chair’ games. It is less brutal than Starfleet Command, but has more depth than the relatively simple shooter action of the adventure games or the Starfleet Academy game, which almost made the list.

The big clever feature is that you don’t control the ship so much as give orders to your individual crew members, making you feel more like a captain than a glorified pilot. You can jump in if necessary, but you’re mostly intended to sit back and trust your navigator to fly and your weapons officer to handle the combat. On top of that, it’s not just a series of quick battles; there is a full narrative campaign to work through. It is even possible to play with voice control, though not advised. When it works, it offers the full Captain experience. Far more often though, you just get blown up while swearing loudly. 

Star Trek The Next Generation: A Final Unity

A Final Unity is a fondly remembered game, though honestly one that’s better fondly remembered than replayed. Creators Spectrum Holobyte clearly set out to make the greatest Star Trek game ever. The game modelled space combat, away team adventure, diplomacy, freeform exploration of the galaxy, and its cleverer features let you you call the entire TNG crew for advice and handpick away teams. In practice, the developers bit off rather more than they could chew, and in trying to replicate TNG’s more serious tone, most of the adventure is honestly sluggish, humourless and slow.

So why’s it here? Primarily because in the moments that it does work, it really captures the TNG spirit, and aesthetically and in terms of story, it’s bang on. It’s just hard not to notice how, for instance, the backgrounds get cheaper and cheaper as the story goes on, or how much of the adventure consists of interminable conversations. Still, it’s easily the best of the TNG-era games, as much as that counts when the competition is the likes of super-primitive shooter Star Trek: Generations or Insurrection tie-in The Hidden Evil. At worst, it’s a game to be admired for what it tried, even if it wasn’t all it could have been. 

Star Trek: Birth of the Federation

That’s right, it’s the almost inevitable Master of Orion game in the Star Trek universe, and honestly I'm being a little generous including it here. Played casually, it’s absolutely fine—a fun game of expansion and discovery and scooping up minor races to be part of your growing empire. Over time though the length of turns renders it almost unplayable. Its main hook was definitely the familiar races, and being able to play with the likes of Klingons instead of just some random warlike species. The effectiveness of this shouldn’t be underestimated, and it’s easily one of the better attempts to paste the Trek universe over an existing game. If not for that though, it’s a pale shadow of not just later games like GalCiv, but prior strategy games from its own developer Microprose. 

Star Trek: Online

The first time I fired up Star Trek Online, I finished the tutorial, got the freedom of the universe, and immediately flew my ship to Deep Space Nine to see what, if anything, the team had done there. I was expecting to be told to come back in an expansion or two, or maybe to see the 3D model. Instead, I arrived, and was able to beam across and run around the set of the best Star Trek show of all time in pretty much all of its glory.

At its best, Star Trek Online is those moments. It continues stories from the TV shows, and even brings actors back to voice their characters. The game mixes space combot with away team action and gives you plenty of freedom to explore and chart your own path through the game. Unfortunately, since going free-to-play, much of the game pivoted around less enjoyable stuff—grinding, the push for new ships, and levelling up. Between those bits there’s still much to enjoy, including building up your crew and engaging in fun action against other players. It’s worth at least trying out, and playing for a while to enjoy the atmosphere and the satisfaction of commanding a ship in MMO space.

Die besten Star Trek Spiele 2024 - Update lässt euch die Galaxie erobern

Drei neue Titel auf der Liste.

Das Star Trek -Universum ist grenzenlos und bietet eine unendliche Spielwiese für Entwickler, um ihrer Kreativität freien Lauf zu lassen - mit einer Fülle an Material, das zweifellos vorhanden ist. Obwohl es in letzter Zeit etwas ruhiger um Star Trek in der Spielebranche geworden ist, gab es im Laufe der Jahre sowohl großartige Spiele als auch echte Flops.

Um Letztere geht es hier aber nicht, denn wir widmen uns der Frage, was die besten Star Trek Spiele sind ? Nachfolgend haben wir in unserer Liste die Antworten für euch:

Die besten Star Trek Spiele

Star trek infinite (2023 – pc) – neu.

Die Galaxie erobern, das konntet ihr früher im weiter unten erwähnten Birth of the Federation. Star Trek Infinite bietet euch eine moderne Möglichkeit dazu und baut dabei stark auf Stellaris auf. So sehr, dass mitunter durchaus so etwas wie Verwechslungsgefahr auskommen könnte.

Die Föderation, die Romulaner, die Klingonen oder die Cardassianer könnt ihr hier spielen und euch im Alpha- und Beta-Quadranten ausbreiten. Ihr bringt ein System nach dem anderen unter eure Kontrolle, ganz egal, ob auf diplomatischem oder militärischem Weg. Dabei stehen euch allerlei bekannte Raumschiffe und Charaktere aus dem Trek-Universum zur Verfügung.

Interesse? Für PC gibt es Star Trek Infinite auf Steam .

Zurück zum Anfang

Star Trek Deep Space Nine: The Fallen (2000 – PC) - Neu

The Fallen ist ein Third-Person-Shooter zu Deep Space Nine und basiert lose auf einer Buchtrilogie, die aus den Büchern Millennium: The Fall of Terok Nor, The War of the Prophets und Inferno besteht. Ihr könnt hier entweder als Captain Benjamin Sisko, Major Kira Nerys oder Lt. Commander Worf spielen.

Je nach Charakter unterscheiden sich die Levels und Aufgaben, sodass ihr die Story wirklich nur dann komplett erlebt, wenn ihr das Spiel mit allen drei durchspielt. Regelmäßig wird im Spielverlauf der Tricorder eingesetzt, nicht nur zur Suche nach Lebenszeichen, Munition und mehr, sondern auch bei der Bekämpfung von Feinden. Per Kommunikator könnt ihr zudem nach Hinweisen fragen, wenn ihr gerade nicht weiter wisst.

Interesse? Für PC gibt es Star Trek Deep Space Nine: The Fallen auf eBay .

Star Trek: Away Team (2001 – PC) - Neu

Ein Stealth-Spiel im Star-Trek-Universum? Das bietet sich mit den Außenteams durchaus an, nicht umsonst ist Away Team entsprechend betitelt. Ihr spielt hier eine Gruppe von Spezialisten, die für die Sternenflotte Probleme lösen soll, mit denen man sich offiziell nicht befassen kann.

Mit eurem Team dringt ihr unter anderem in romulanische Außenposten, unerforschte Regionen und in einen Borg-Würfel vor und solltet möglichst unentdeckt agieren und Feinde leise aus dem Weg räumen, um alles unbeschadet zu überstehen. Für jede Mission könnt ihr euer Team aus 17 verschiedenen Charakteren mit unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten zusammenstellen.

Interesse? Für PC gibt es Star Trek: Away Team bei GOG .

Star Trek Resurgence (2023 – PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One)

Von früheren Telltale-Mitarbeiterinnen und -Mitarbeitern stammt Star Trek Resurgence und genauso spielt es sich auch. Ihr habt ein vornehmlich narratives Spiel, in dem ihr die Kontrolle über zwei verschiedene Charaktere übernehmt und so die Geschichte aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln erlebt.

Ihr absolviert viele Quick-Time-Events, sprecht mit Leuten, fliegt auch mal ein Shuttle. Ebenso gibt’s ein paar Kämpfe, die ihr mit eurem Phaser bestreitet, ihr scannt mit dem Tricorder und schleicht ein bisschen durch die Gegend. Resurgence spielt kurz nach Star Trek: The Next Generation und fängt dessen Atmosphäre auf jeden Fall gut ein. Wer Lust auf ein solch narratives Trek-Abenteuer hat, sollte sich das mal anschauen.

Interesse? Für PC gibt es Star Trek Resurgence im Epic Games Store , für die Xbox im Microsoft Store und für PlayStation im PlayStation Store .

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary (1992 – PC, NES, Amiga)

Fangen wir mit einem echten Klassiker an. 25th Anniversary ist ein klassisches Point-and-Click-Adventure rund um die Crew von Captain Kirk. Ihr kommandiert die Enterprise und erledigt nicht nur besagte Point-and-Click-Aufgaben, sondern fliegt auch mit eurem Raumschiff durchs All. Mit euren Phasern und Photonentorpedos nehmt ihr es mit feindlichen Schiffen auf.

Wenn ihr nicht durch den Weltraum fliegt, beamt ihr euch auf verschiedene Welten, erkundet dort die Umgebung und löst Rätsel. Das alles in einem ebenso klassischen, für diese Zeit typischen Pixellook. Und mit den Originalstimmen von William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig und Nichelle Nichols. Wer ein Faible für Adventures hat und Trekkie ist, sollte einen Blick risikieren.

Interesse? Für PC gibt es Star Trek: 25th Anniversary auf Steam und GOG .

Star Trek: The Next Generation – A Final Unity (1995 – PC)

Machen wir weiter mit Adventures, reisen aber eine Generation weiter. Hier erlebt ihr ein Abenteuer mit der Crew rund um Captain Picard an Bord der Enterprise-D, die von einem garidianischen Erkundungsschiff in der Nähe der neutralen Zone einen Notruf erhält. Man bittet die Enterprise darum, bei der Suche nach einer Schriftrolle zu helfen, um so einen Krieg zu verhindern.

Wie sich herausstellt, steckt hinter all dem aber noch mehr und es geht um eine alte und mächtige Struktur, hinter der unter anderem die Romulaner und die Chodak her sind. Auftritte im Spiel haben außerdem die Klingonen, Ferengi und Borg. Ihr absolviert Außenmissionen, während ihr verschiedene Planeten besucht, und löst dabei das ein oder andere Rätsel. Handlungstechnisch spielt A Final Unity etwa zur gleichen Zeit wie die siebte Staffel von Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Interesse? Für PC gibt es Star Trek: The Next Generation – A Final Unity bei eBay .

Star Trek: Birth of the Federation (1999 – PC)

In Star Trek: The Next Generation – Birth of the Federation übernehmt ihr nach und nach die Kontrolle über die Galaxie. Ihr könnt entscheiden, ob ihr die Kontrolle über die Föderation, die Klingonen, die Romulaner, die Cardassianer oder die Ferengi übernehmen möchtet. Mit ihnen breitet ihr euch in der Milchstraße aus und sichert euch die Dienste kleinerer Spezies.

Abseits dessen tut ihr das, was ihr in solchen Spielen eben so tut. Neue Planeten besiedeln, euch Sternensysteme unter den Nagel reißen, Flotten aufbauen und den ein oder anderen Krieg führen. Natürlich hat jede Fraktion unterschiedliche Eigenschaften und auch mit den Borg bekommt ihr es von Zeit zu Zeit zu tun. Wenn ich so darüber schreibe, würde ich mir ein modernes 4X-Strategiespiel im Star-Trek-Universum wünschen.

Interesse? Für PC gibt es Star Trek: Birth of the Federation auf eBay .

Star Trek: Armada (2000 – PC)

Noch mehr Strategie im Star-Trek-Universum, diesmal aber in Echtzeit. Star Trek Armada ist ein klassisches Echtzeitstrategiespiel inklusive Basisbau, in dem ihr Rohstoffe sammelt sowie euer Hauptquartier erweitert und verbessert. Letztlich baut ihr natürlich Raumschiffe und schickt eure Flotten in den Kampf gegen andere. Wie erwähnt, klassisches RTS-Konzept à la WarCraft, nur eben im Weltraum.

Schauplatz des Geschehens ist der Alpha-Quadrant, der sich im Kriegszustand befindet. Spielen könnt ihr auf Seiten der Föderation, der Klingonen, der Romulaner und der Borg. Armada ist eines der wenigen Strategiespiele im Trek-Universum, macht seine Sache aber hervorragend und setzt euch die klassischen RTS-Elemente, die es so spielenswert machen. Für Fans eine wahre Freude.

Interesse? Für PC gibt es Star Trek Armada auf GOG .

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force (2000 – PC, PlayStation 2)

Ein Ego-Shooter im Star-Trek-Universum? Das mag auf den ersten Blick nicht zum friedfertigen Gedanken hinter Star Trek passen, allerdings wird in den Serien und Filmen häufig genug geschossen. Und da es hier um ein Spezialteam, das Hazard Team, an Bord der U.S.S. Voyager geht, ergibt das auch Sinn.

Denn wenn man im Delta-Quadranten festhängt, kann man einen Spezialtrupp gut gebrauchen. In der Serie selbst wurde der leider nie eingebunden, aber ihr nehmt es in Elite Force unter anderem mit den Borg auf, nachdem die Voyager auf einer Art Schrottplatz für Raumschiffe gefangen gehalten wird. In der altbewährten Quake-3-Arena-Engine bekämpft ihr viele verschiedene Gegner in einem gelungen Shooter, der zeigt, das Star Trek und dieses Genre sehr wohl zusammenpassen.

Interesse? Für PC gibt es Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force auf GOG .

Star Trek: Bridge Commander (2002 – PC)

Endlich selbst das Kommando über die Enterprise übernehmen. Star Trek: Bridge Commander ist eines der Spiele, die exakt das möglich machen. Vom Captain's Chair aus erteilt ihr der Brückencrew aus der Ego-Perspektive Befehle und müsst mit den Konsequenzen leben, die besagte Befehle auf den Verlauf der Mission haben.

Ihr wählt unter anderem verschiedene Manöver aus, entscheidet, ob ihr lieber laut oder unauffällig vorgeht ud müsst euch um die einzelnen Schiffssysteme kümmern. Das Geschehen verfolgt ihr auf dem großen Bildschirm vor euch, ganz wie es Captain Picard und Co tun. Als Script Writer, Editor und Beraterin war übrigens D.C. Fontana beteiligt, die unter anderem vier Episoden von Star Trek: The Next Generation geschrieben hat und Associate Producer der Serie war.

Interesse? Für PC gibt es Star Trek: Bridge Commander auf GOG .

Star Trek: Bridge Crew (2017 – PC, PlayStation 4)

Noch einmal nehmen wir im Captain's Chair, noch einmal spielen wir aus der Ego-Perspektive. Diesmal aber nicht einfach auf einem flachen Bildschirm, sondern mit einem Virtual-Reality-Headsett. Bridge Crew verschafft euch an Bord der U.S.S. Aegis ein immersiveres Star-Trek-Spielgefühl als je zuvor.

Auch hier trefft ihr strategische Entscheidungen und koordiniert die Aktionen eurer Brückencrew. Eure Mission führt euch zu The Trench, wobei es sich um einen nicht kartierten Sektor im Weltraum handelt. Die Hoffnung ist, dort eine neue Heimat für die Vulkanier zu finden. Allerdings treiben sich dort auch die Klingonen herum und drohen die Pläne der Föderation scheitern zu lassen. Und da kommt ihr dann ins Spiel.

Interesse? Für PC gibt es Star Trek: Bridge Crew auf Steam und für PlayStation im PlayStation Store .

Star Trek Online (2010 – PC, Xbox, PlayStation)

Seit mehr als zehn Jahren entführt euch das MMO Star Trek Online ins Star-Trek-Universum und lässt euch dort auf Seiten der Föderation spielen. Wenn ihr möchtet, könnt ihr euch aber ebenso für die Klingonen oder für die Romulaner entscheiden. Ihr bastelt euch euren eigenen Charakter zusammen und startet eine Karriere in der jeweiligen Flotte. Ihr fangt klein an und kommt groß heraus, quasi wie in jedem MMO.

Dabei trefft ihr auf zahlreiche bekannte Charaktere aus der Reihe und begebt euch zu ebenso bekannten Orten, während ihr eine Menge neuer Abenteuer erlebt. Da das Spiel schon einige Jahre auf dem Buckel hat, gibt es auch zahlreiche Inhalte und Geschichten, die über die Jahre hinweg hinzugekommen sind. Und nach wie vor erscheinen regelmäßig neue Inhaltsupdates, bei denen etwa auch die neueren Star-Trek-Serien mit eingebunden werden. Auch wer jetzt erst neu einsteigt, kann hier noch viel entdecken.

Interesse? Für PC gibt es Star Trek Online auf Steam , für die Xbox im Microsoft Store und für PlayStation im PlayStation Store .

Best Star Trek games of all time

Boldly go where no one has gone before with our in-depth, ranked list of the best Star Trek games of all time.

10. Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova

9. star trek: klingon academy, 8. star trek: invasion, 7. star trek: elite force ii, 6. star trek: bridge crew, 5. star trek: deep space nine – the fallen, 4. star trek: voyager – elite force, 3. star trek: starfleet command iii, 2. star trek: bridge commander, 1. star trek online.

It's only logical that you check out our list of the best Star Trek games of all time.

Star Trek: Resurgence , a new narrative-driven video game based on the famous sci-fi franchise, has just hit the shelves and garnered positive reviews. While it looks like a perfect entry point for newcomers to the Star Trek universe , it also reminded us of all the older titles that deserve more attention nowadays, as well as recent releases that have flown under the radar. Below you’ll find our picks for the very best Star Trek games of all time, ranked worst to best.

Much like the movie and TV franchise they’re based on, Star Trek video games have traditionally been more obscure than Star Wars titles, or at least more demanding from players trying to warp into the unknown. Still, Star Trek has produced a handful of remarkable games well worth checking out if you’ve got the time.

If you need some recommendations to better navigate through the Star Trek movies released so far, be sure to check out our list of the Star Trek movies ranked, worst to best . Likewise, we’ve got plenty of other sci-fi gaming suggestions (old and new) with our lists of the finest Alien , Warhammer 40K , Marvel , and DC games of all time.

• Platforms: PC, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series X/S, Nintendo Switch
• Developer: Tessera Studios

After a successful season 1 on Paramount+ in late 2021 and early 2022, the animated series Star Trek Prodigy received its own tie-in video game in late 2022. Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is far from being the deepest nor most representative title the franchise has received, but it’s tailor-made for the next generation of fans.

There’s plenty of top-down action and adventure for the whole family here, coupled with reasonable puzzles and a co-op option which seems perfect for Trekkie parents trying to get their children into the universe. In an age when tie-in games are rare and normally undercooked, Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova has almost all the charm of the source material and doesn’t stumble too often.

• Platforms: PC
• Developer: 14 Degrees East

Klingon Academy is one of the many weird, overlooked Star Trek video games that were born from an era when the most obvious projects had already been developed. Movies and TV shows weren’t at their highest peak either during the late 90s and early 2000s, so many off-beat and fascinating titles came out during those years.

Star Trek: Klingon Academy was yet another space flight sim, with the main difference being that it followed a young Klingon warrior joining the Elite Command Academy in order to prepare for a future conflict with the United Federation of Planets. While it was designed as a successor to Starfleet Academy, the unique setting and storyline, coupled with complex systems that rewarded diehard players, placed it among Star Trek’s finest games as years passed.

• Platforms: PS1
• Developer: Warthog Games

The year 2000 also gave us Star Trek: Invasion, a pretty competent and good-looking space combat shooter for the original PlayStation. It perhaps didn’t get enough attention back then because it strayed a bit too far from the spirit of the franchise, but the quality and retro thrills are there.

On the downside, the music largely missed the mark and barely felt like a proper Star Trek soundtrack, plus many ships in the game weren’t canon-accurate. Still, Invasion landed critical shots with everything else and provided a Star Trek experience unlike anything that had come before it.

• Platforms: PC, macOS
• Developer: Ritual Entertainment

Star Trek tried its luck with the first-person shooter genre as well, and found great success twice. While Ritual Entertainment’s Elite Force II isn’t as remarkable as the first installment, there was plenty to love in it, including much-improved graphics.

Oddly enough, Elite Force II also serves as a semi-sequel of sorts to the largely derided movie Star Trek: Nemesis as well as the end of the Star Trek: Voyager series. As for the gameplay, it’s an exciting mix of FPS action and surprisingly solid puzzle-solving. The game resonated well with critics and veteran fans alike, but it was a commercial failure and marked the final Star Trek release by Activision.

• Platforms: PC, PS4, Oculus Quest
• Developer: Red Storm Entertainment

Star Trek: Bridge Crew was hard to fully recommend around launch to the average player or Trekkie because it was strictly a virtual-reality title, but there was eventually an update that introduced the option to play it without VR. It takes place in the Kelvin timeline (created by the 2009 movie) and sees the Starfleet ship USS Aegis searching for a new homeworld for the Vulcans.

Players can choose from four roles: captain, tactical officer, engineer, and helm officer. Many tasks, both story-related and randomly generated, are performed from the ship’s bridge, and it’s all about working as a team to come out unscathed from dangerous and stressful situations. It’s a rather unique and more casual experience that channels much of Star Trek’s distinctive soul without alienating newcomers.

If you do have a VR headset then that's the best way to play, but it's worth checking out regardless.

• Developer: The Collective

Back to the off-beat titles from the early 2000s, we find Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – The Fallen, a rather straightforward but surprising third-person shooter that made good use of the Unreal Engine and allowed itself to be creepy and scary at times.

Players can choose to play through the entire game as either Captain Benjamin Sisko, Major Kira Nerys, or Lt. Commander Worf. The different points of view shed new light on the overall plot, and the entire story isn’t fully revealed until all three paths have been walked. Another nice touch was the inclusion of gadgets and comm mechanics that break up the action and give the whole experience a deeper Star Trek feeling than some of the reskins we've seen.

• Platforms: PC, macOS, PS2
• Developer: Raven Software

The first Elite Force game was specifically linked to Star Trek: Voyager’s sixth season, and introduced the Hazard Team, a new elite security section created to deal with extremely hostile missions. While the USS Voyager makes some repairs after being trapped in a starship graveyard, the Hazard Team is tasked with protecting the ship and the crew.

“Set your phasers to frag”, said the game’s cover, and that certainly wasn’t a lie. Raven Software, generally known for their work on the excellent Star Wars: Jedi Knight titles, made great use of the id Tech 3 engine, which was the perfect choice at the time for top-tier FPS games. Its action-heavy approach also meant it was very appealing to players that weren’t big Star Trek fans. More than 20 years later, this one still feels fantastic to play.

• Developer: Taldren

The Starfleet Command series had a pretty great run, and its third entry remains the best Star Trek space sim and real-time strategy title the franchise has ever had. It packs great story-driven missions split across three factions (Klingon Empire, Romulan Empire, and the Federation), engrossing RPG elements, and RTS mechanics, and yet somehow never feels overcomplicated or obtuse. Moreover, a Borg Collective campaign was also added to the game as downloadable content, though it wasn’t connected to the main storyline.

If you only have time for a handful of Star Trek titles as you explore the best that Trek has to offer, Starfleet Command III is absolutely the must-play of the space sim bunch and also a great accompaniment to a full rewatch of The Next Generation, DS9, and Voyager.

• Developer: Totally Games

In many ways, Bridge Commander feels like a key predecessor to Bridge Crew, with its focus on the ship’s bridge and the crew working together to solve many problems and win battles. As this was a full-blown PC game made for diehard Star Trek fans, it offered a deeper experience than many other entries on this list, featuring tactical gameplay and hands-on control of the many ship systems.

While Star Trek: Bridge Commander might not be everyone’s cup of tea and requires a certain amount of commitment to learning the ropes, we can’t think of a richer game for massive Trekkies. Furthermore, customized scenarios in “simulated environments” can keep it going after the story campaign is completed.

• Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One
• Developer: Cryptic Studios

It’s not often that a franchise’s best game is an MMORPG, but Cryptic Studios’ unyielding commitment to Star Trek Online has paid off for more than a decade now. Like many MMOs before, it originally launched requiring a game purchase and monthly fees, but later shifted to a free-to-play model with premium access to extra content and items.

Even if you don’t spend any money, Star Trek Online keeps expanding in meaningful ways and offers both on-foot and starship action that perfectly captures the IP’s magic with story quests and PvP battles surprisingly well-adjusted to the MMO framework.

Star Trek is one of the most popular and well-known stories of all time. When it first premiered on television in 1966, there was nothing else like it. And since its birth, few other shows have even come close to matching the story in terms of scientific accuracy and appeal. Today, one of the ways that Star Trek lovers engage with the story is through video games, which can be more immersive than a show or movie. And the best Star Trek video games are accurate, they depict likenesses, and they come with an unbeatable plot. Here are some of our favorite Star Trek video game picks.

1. Star Trek: Bridge Crew (PSVR)

Star Trek: Bridge Crew was specifically developed as a virtual reality game, allowing Trekkies to interact with their favorite characters in a realistic, authentic way. If desired, players can operate in the co-op mode, designing a team of four to tackle their latest adventures. The team will consist of the Captain, Helm, Tactical, and Engineer as they travel through the galaxy.

Based on the 2009 Star Trek film timeline, the new ship, the USS Aegis begins searching for a home for the Vulcans. And, to do so, they head into Klingon territory. Players should keep in mind that the Captain’s role is the only one that displays the details of the mission. And the captain must communicate their latest endeavors to the rest of the crew in order to succeed.

The qualities that set this game apart from other Star Trek games are its dynamic gameplay and ongoing missions. Those who play Star Trek: Bridge Crew could really play indefinitely on a solo or co-op mission, which results in a captivating and valuable story. This game also stands apart from others in terms of its realism. As a virtual reality game, players should expect to feel completely immersed in the story.

• Plastation VR
• Bridge crew designed for VR
• Operate as a crew
• Ongoing missions mode
• Release Date : 2017
• Updated version
• Solo mission or multiplayer
• Good features
• Does not include next generation ship

2. Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force Expansion - PC

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force Expansion is a first-person shooter game that is set in the fourth Star Trek television series. The game follows a number of different missions on the USS Voyager — some of which take place 70,000 miles away from home. The game incorporates a large number of original characters into the gameplay, and each character features the actual voice from the television series. So, you can expect authentic results from iconic characters like Captain Kathyrn Janeway and Lieutenant Commander Tuvok.

The game starts with holodeck training that the team fails. It shows the characters attempting to complete a task on a Borg ship. But the end result is that the majority of those characters fail, becoming captured by the enemy. After the holodeck training, the Voyager is attacked by an unknown force. And, ultimately, the ship is teleported to a mysterious place. Characters within the game have to attempt to determine where they are, and what threats lie ahead in order to keep the crew and the future of the Voyager protected. This game was an extreme success as far as Star Trek games go. In fact, it received an 86 percent approval rate, attesting to its production and bugless gameplay.

• Created by Raven Software
• Stranded in Delta Quadrant
• Set on USS Voyager
• Tour mode or multiplayer mode
• Release Date : 2001
• Rich colors
• Varied architecture
• Great single player option
• Nice graphics
• Really challenging end boss

3. Star Trek Encounters - PlayStation 2

One of the interesting things about the Star Trek universe is that it’s incredibly developed. Over the past 60 years, artists of multiple kinds have had the chance to add to the universe, creating new environments and challenges along the way. And this often comes out in video games. In Star Trek: Encounters, for example, gamers control five generations of ships including the Original Series ship, the Next Generation, the Deep Space Nine, the Voyager, and even the most iconic ship: the Enterprise. While some Star Trek games fabricate new worlds and destinations, Encounters features destinations that you’ve probably seen before. And you can even play based on real TV show events.

As you play, you can combat your enemies using a variety of different weapons like Phasers, Pulse Cannons, and Torpedoes. There are also three different modes in the game. So, you can play in a multiplayer mode, in the episode mode of the skirmish mode. The result is a captivating and realistic version of the Star Trek universe that is likely to keep you entertained for many hours to come. Finally, the game style is similar to that which you would find in a conventional arcade – or a shooter game.

• 5 generations of ships available
• Authentic Star Trek locations
• Choose from three modes
• Multiplayer options
• Release Date : 2006
• Fun process
• Can increase the challenge
• Reminiscent of the arcade
• Challenging gameplay
• Anticlimactic finish

4. Star Trek - Playstation 3

For the first time ever, Star Trek for the Playstation 3 allowed players to adopt the characters of Captain Kirk and Spock in a new, and unique storyline. Set after the events of 2009 in the J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot, was the first in-house game developed by Paramount Studios. This game is set in the Kelvin universe. It follows Captain Kirk, Spock, and the Starfleet crew as they evaluate and track a theft that took place. Captain Kirk and Spock head to Gorn territories in order to right the wrongs that were done to them.

One thing that sets this game apart from other Star Trek games is that the development of it relied on collaborative efforts from the film team and the video game producers. This means that the production team emphasized authenticity in the making of this game. And it shows. The likenesses of Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are used throughout this game, making players feel entirely immersed in the plot of one of their favorite films. At the same time, the game allows you to travel to parts of the universe that have never yet been seen. The result is one of the most unforgettable Star Trek gaming experiences yet.

• Available on PS3, Xbox 360, PC
• Takes place after the events of 2009
• Never before seen sectors
• Includes two of the most well-known characters
• Release Date : 2013
• New visuals
• Lots of items to find
• Voice acting
• A handful of glitches

5. Star Trek: Legacy - Xbox 360

Star Trek: Legacy hit the shelves in 2006, and quickly became a fan favorite due to the varied gameplay. Those who integrate themselves in this Trekkie world will be quick to notice that they have full access to the Star Trek universe in all of its glory. Along the way, they can command one to four ships, and battle others in the galaxy. Even when you’re in charge of multiple starships, you only command one at a time, allowing you to focus on the task at hand. You control features like weapons, repairs, and travel. And you can adjust the viewpoint, if desired.

Those who jump into the world of Star Trek: Legacy can also use the customized skirmish mode. You choose which way you’ll play, giving yourself the ideal gaming environment. And the PC version of this game has a few additional modes. The single-player version of this game operates in three different eras, switching between Star Trek: Enterprise, The Original Series, and The Next Generation. Or in 2159, 2270, and 2333. As graphically rich as it is engaging, Star Trek: Legacy is a collector's item if we’ve ever seen one. And the challenge that it presents to gamers is full of entertainment.

• Spans the whole universe
• Large-scale combat
• 3D battlefields
• Ships with full-damage modeling
• Easier to control than PC version
• Kid-friendly
• Repetitive phrases

6. Star Trek: Conquest - Nintendo Wii

Developed by 4J Studios, Star Trek: Conquest is a single-player action game that uses both turn-based strategy and real-time strategy to captivate your attention. The game is set in the Next Generation chapter of Star Trek. And it allows the player to choose from groups that exist in that chapter like the Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Breen, Cardassian and Dominion groups. In this game, everyone is at war. Alliances that previously existed between groups have faded or been disrupted due to recent events. And all of this makes for a rather chaotic and dangerous universe. Everyone wants to capture more territories, outlining themselves as universe dominators.

Upon its release, Star Trek: Conquest received mixed reviews. Those who played on the Wii tended to be more skeptical of the game than those that played on other

platforms. We’re a fan of this particular Star Trek game because of its limitless possibilities. Interested in joining the gruff Klingon world for a while? No problem. Would you rather wear Romulan attire? If so, you can do just that in this Next Generation game. While this game is less linear than other Star Trek games, it comes with unique challenges and it requires strategy to win.

• Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2
• Single-player
• Can take direct control of any ship
• 6 playable races
• Release Date : 2007
• Strategy based
• Challenging
• Gets boring after a few conquers
• Clunky controls

7. Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova - PlayStation 4

Trekkies that picture the most notorious and shocking Star Trek movies and shows typically point to those with Captain Kirk or the Next Generation. These are the most well-known chapters of Star Trek. But there are others. Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is based on an animated Star Trek series. It debuted recently, in 2021 as an attempt to grow the universe that Paramount+ depicts. In the game, the year is 2383. The Voyager has already made its way home to earth when a group of aliens stumbles upon the USS Protostar and takes it as their own. Players have to figure out how to work with their team and make it out of Delta Quadrant in order to be successful.

Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is a great game for those who love to explore new alien worlds instead of existing in old ones. Along the way, you’re likely to make it to places like Orisi, Mirios, and Taresse. And each place features its own culture, challenges, and puzzles. The goal is to meet with the aliens in each place and learn about their history. But those who make it far enough to do so are likely to run into the enemy.

• Play as Dal R’El and Gwyndala
• Takes you to alien worlds
• Make first contact with new species
• A new nemesis
• Release Date : 2022

8. Star Trek: Away Team - PC

One thing that we love about Star Trek games is that they come in different styles. Some options might be first-person shooter games. Others might be more strategic or puzzle driven. Star Trek: Away Team is a real-time tactics game that was originally released for computers in 2001. Set after the Dominion War, the game hosts a variety of new characters in order to keep things interesting. But it also includes some fan favorites like Data, Michael Dorn, and Brent Spiner.

The gamer controls between four and six characters while immersed in this universe. Everyone has their own abilities and strengths, making them complementary and useful in specific environments. It’s up to the gamer to use them accordingly. Specialties that they might have could include a strength in science, health, or even engineering. And it’s fairly easy to see how those strengths could impact the mission. As a special operations group, this gang of characters can face as many as 18 different missions that require sharp faculties, attention, and strategy. You might find your team working against the Klingon race, the Borg, or even the Romulans, depending on that mission. What is certain is that there are plenty of challenges for you and your team to navigate as you make your way through the universe.

• Strategy game
• Chronicle missions of the USS Incursion
• Experimental Starfleet ship
• Holographic masking technology
• Easy to play
• No likenesses

9. Star Trek Deep Space Nine: The Fallen - PC

Most Star Trek games exist within worlds with which Trekkies are very familiar. We might find ourselves fighting against the Borg in one iteration of the game. Or perhaps the Romulans. But Star Trek Deep Space Nine: The Fallen presents a new reality to gamers that is both interesting and involved with Star Trek during a different chapter of its existence. At one point in Star Trek history, the Pah-Wraiths were banished from the Alpha Quadrant. But in this game, they’re attempting to come back in pursuit of three powerful orbs that could allow them to not only live within the quadrant but to rule it. If they succeed, life as the Alpha Quadrant will likely change for the worse.

In order to avoid this reality, the gamer adopts the character of Captain Sisko, Major Kira, or Lieutenant Worf in order to beat the Pah-Wraiths to the red orbs. Your goal is to find and contain them to protect the future of the Alpha Quadrant. Along the way, each character is prone to having its own mission and challenge. But they must also be available to coordinate with the team at large, or face ruin. What’s certain is that Star Trek Deep Space Nine: The Fallen offers new and memorable challenges for gamers.

• Can play as multiple characters
• Special missions
• 3D adventure
• Release Date : 2000
• Different side of Star Trek
• Fast reload
• Great quality
• Not always user friendly

10. Star Trek: Tactical Assault

Serious Trekkies know what the Star Trek universe is like. It’s complicated, and often chaotic and conflicted, which means that those on Star Trek ships are often in dangerous settings. Star Trek: Tactical Assault shows this reality since it features a variety of warships that are frequently under fire or headed for fire. But one thing that the game also demonstrates is that the captain (or the gamer, in some cases) can best prove their value and ability to exist within the Star Trek universe by either combating the enemy and winning or maneuvering their ship in a way that keeps their fleet safe. This game comes with two campaign modes to offer the gamer variety and multiple types of challenges. And, as the acting captain, it’s up to you to make the choices that will keep your ship healthy and fighting in the future.

In this game, you can also play from the lines of 5 different races, meaning that you can be the captain of a Federation ship, Klingon, Romulan, Gorn, and Orion ship. The altered perspective gives you a greater depth of understanding of the Star Trek universe. This multiplayer game is both entertaining and challenging, support Trekkies in their journeys to become the best captains possible.

• Five playable races
• Two full campaign modes
• Real-time combat
• Involves multiple war ships
• Multiplayer option
• Full-length campaigns
• Teen-friendly
• Classic game
• Gameplay could be improved

Star Trek is an incredibly popular franchise that captivates full generations even today. And since it has been around for nearly 60 years, the story has had the opportunity to go through many different iterations and visual appearances. From the iconic Captain Kirk stories to the Next Generation, the story gets really deep and fascinating to those who stick with it long enough to learn about it. As a result of the story’s popularity, it's made its way into video games. And, over time, those video games have become more and more diverse. Today, you can choose from options like first-person shooter games, strategy, and even management options. And they are likely to satisfy even the most dedicated Star Trek fans.

A Brief History of Star Trek Video Games

Did you know that the first Star Trek game was first released in 1971? Titled Star Trek, this game featured turn-based battles, a text-based design, and tons of potential choices for gamers. Together, these key components teamed up to offer a game with nearly endless options. Although gaming has come a long way in the past 50 years, true Star Trek fanatics could benefit from dipping their toes back into iconic games like the original Star Trek to witness the progression of the story and the birth of Star Trek video games.

After the original Star Trek became popular, several other video games followed in its tracks. While many of the newer variations were slow to captivate audiences, there were a few that truly stood out for their gameplay and plot. Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, for example, allows players to embody Captain Kirk, who is in charge of the Enterprise.

After Activision acquired the rights to Star Trek in 1998, some of the most popular Star Trek games in history came to fruition. Titles like Star Trek: Armada, Star Trek Voyager - Elite Force, and Star Trek: Bridge Commander took Trekkies by surprise because of their improved graphics, likenesses, and storylines. And this solidified these games in history as some of the best video games ever to be released.

Star Trek continues to captivate gamers and story-lovers alike for its depth and realism. Who wouldn’t want to gain a greater understanding of the breadth of the universe, right? And since video games offer users an immersive experience into the universe of their choosing, it's no wonder why these Star Trek titles have become permanent fixtures in gaming history.

The Best Games to Play If You Love Star Trek

From licensed adventures to flattering spiritual tributes, these are the best games that any Star Trek fan needs to play.

It hasn’t always been easy to be a Star Trek fan and a gamer. While Star Wars fans have historically been blessed with an impressive number of great licensed games across a variety of genres, Star Trek fans have had to settle for slimmer pickings. Not only have there been very few truly great licensed Star Trek games over the years, but many of those games are sadly no longer legally available to purchase.

So we’re going to do something a bit different for this list. Not only does it include some non-licensed Star Trek games but I’m only including games that are still available to purchase via modern digital distribution platforms. Whether they’re official Star Trek titles or not, each of these games captures at least an aspect of the Star Trek franchise in a way that too few games ever have.

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary/Star Trek: Judgement Rites (1992/1993)

Developed during the golden age of point-and-click adventure games, these Star Trek titles clearly benefited from the rapid advances the genre was enjoying at that time. Yes, they can be as obtuse as the best adventure games of that era so often were, but that format really captures the feel of the “away team” experience in ways that few other licensed Star Trek games do. For that matter, no other Star Trek game has ever captured the timeless style of Star Trek ’s original series era quite like these games do.

And that’s the biggest selling point here. Between the dialog, the visuals, and the pure sense of adventure, these games have a uniquely powerful way of immediately unlocking your love of Star Trek without ever exploiting it. Even better, the episodic nature of their campaigns helps give the original series’ crew the final adventures they always deserved .

Star Control II (1992)

With the original Star Control , developer Toys for Bob established their ability and desire to make the ultimate PC sci-fi game in the style of Star Trek . For this sequel, though, the studio decided to focus a little less on the original game’s intense strategy gameplay and a little more on the narrative elements that the previous game often pushed to the margins. 

That change in direction resulted in a sequel that largely invalidates its incredible predecessor in the best ways possible. The way Star Control II fills its explorable galaxy with compelling story beats that slowly unfold based on your choices is a design miracle that has rarely been replicated. Few sci-fi games have offered so many narrative possibilities and delivered them in ways that allow you to feel as if you are genuinely discovering them as you chart the unknown. That not only makes this one of the best “ Star Trek -like” games ever but one of the best PC games ever made. 

Star Trek: Voyager – Elite Force (2000)

You probably don’t think of first-person shooter action when you think of Star Trek . On-the-ground action has always been a small part of that franchise and rarely the highlight of any of its eras. Even still, there is no denying that Elite Force is one of (if not the) best licensed Star Trek games ever. 

Developer Raven Software’s considerable FPS experience and obvious love of the license joined forces in this action title that brilliantly straddles two genre eras. While the game’s atmosphere, narrative, and gameplay variety feel fitting for a shooter released in the post- Half-Life FPS era, Elite Force ’s combat and creative weaponry harkens back to the “boomer shooter” style in the best ways possible. Even if FPS titles aren’t usually for you, Star Trek fans will have a hard time resisting the allure of this game’s exceptional Voyager -based story. Speaking of resistance, it turns out that the Borg make for exceptional (and genuinely terrifying) video game enemies. 

Star Trek: Away Team (2001)

I’m tempted to call Away Team “underrated,” but it would probably be more accurate to call this 2001 tactical strategy game “flawed.” On paper, Away Team offers a strategy experience similar to the original X-Com games yet set in the Star Trek universe. In reality, it just doesn’t quite live up to the refined brilliance of those classic PC titles.

Still, if the thought of “ Star Trek meets X-Com ” briefly raised the hairs on your arms, then I’d certainly argue that this game is worth its modest price tag. Away Team is another Star Trek game that only captures a small part of the Star Trek experience (in this case, leading an away team on a tactical combat mission), but it’s also really the only game out there that bothers to tap into that aspect of the series in a substantial way. I’m an especially big fan of the series-accurate non-lethal options this game offers you as well as the ways it allows you to modify your strategies based on who you pick to join your away team. 

Star Trek: Bridge Commander (2002)

Though every Star Trek fan has their own franchise fantasy they’d like to live out (some of which I’d prefer not to know too much about), the allure of the captain’s chair may be the Star Trek ‘s most universal draw. Who hasn’t wanted to helm a starship and command a capable and loyal crew through a seemingly hopeless and fantastical scenario?

Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox!

Well, Bridge Commander offers you the chance to do just that. By casting you in the role of an upstart captain with a lot to prove, Bridge Commander allows you to divert all the power, fire all the phasers, and engage all of the warp drives that your heart desires. Some may be turned off by the sometimes dry strategic nature of this game and its generally sparse narrative but this is about as good as it gets so far as captain’s chair fantasies go.

Star Trek Online (2010)

Star Trek Online is not the Star Trek MMORPG that many franchise fans have begged for over the last couple of decades. Though the game has benefited from numerous improvements since its disastrous debut, it’s not nearly as deep as something like EVE Online nor nearly as refined as a game like World of Warcraft . Furthermore, its free-to-play model has too often been used as an excuse to experiment with a variety of microtransactions. 

For whatever it’s, quite literally, worth to you, though, that free-to-play model is also one of the best arguments for this game. There are pockets of brilliance in Stark Trek Online (such as its storylines, atmosphere, and ship combat) that are easier to appreciate when you realize they cost nothing to experience. This game has always fallen tragically short of its potential but it has ultimately landed in a place that is certainly worth exploring if only from time to time.

Though FTL has garnered fairly glowing Star Trek comparisons since it broke onto the indie game scene in 2012, you should know that this game is rarely interested in fulfilling your wishes. This roguelike title that sees you command and gradually upgrade a spaceship and its crew across a ladder-like series of threats and opportunities is notorious for its difficulty. Even skilled captains who can effectively manage their ship’s various subsystems will often have their runs cut short thanks to an unavoidable bit of bad luck.

Once you accept that losing is part of the “charm” of FTL , though, it becomes much easier to appreciate the game’s numerous other charms. This is a game for those whose Star Trek dreams include orders to manage their power levels, sending crew members to new decks, and targeting recently discovered weak points of unknown incoming enemy vessels. FTL may largely only focus on a specific part of the Star Trek experience, but it does so in a way that makes it easy to lose dozens (if not hundreds) of hours to this all-time great indie experience. 

Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator (2013)

Artemis ’ Steam description confesses that it is “designed for anyone who watched Star Trek ,” and that’s certainly been the game’s biggest selling point for over a decade now. Even when compared to official (and licensed) competition, Artemis remains one of the absolute best ways to live the fantasy of commanding a spaceship bridge with the help of your friends. 

This local co-op title emphasizes true coordination by limiting what each participant has access to at any given time. Up to five players assume various ship stations (such as weapons and engineering) and are only able to view their station via whatever screen they use to access the game. However, the sixth role, the Captain, cannot view any screen and must rely on the information provided by their teammates to make decisions. Not only does that setup make teamwork more important than it sometimes is in somewhat similar games, but it also ensures that the Captain can’t simply take over the game by virtue of drawing the most traditionally prized role. 

Stellaris (2016)

Many grand strategy sci-fi games allow you to explore the galaxy and command nearly every aspect of a fleet of ships. While Stellaris is certainly one of the best options for those whose Star Trek fantasies can be converted to spreadsheets, the real reason it’s on this list is due to the quality of its Star Trek conversion mods. 

There are two notable Star Trek mods for Stellaris ( New Horizons and New Civilisations ) and each does an exceptional job of applying a necessary layer of Star Trek goddess to that game’s absurdly deep collection of strategy systems. Stellaris isn’t the absolute best sci-fi strategy game of its kind, but if you’re dying for all of that Star Trek iconography, you’ll have a hard time finding a more rewarding game to lose yourself in. 

Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander (2016)

Few games try to capture every element (or almost every element) of the Star Trek experience, and Halcyon 6 shows why. Through a combination of gameplay concepts that include 4X strategy, JRPG combat, and simulation-style base management, Halcyon 6 tries to allow you to do everything you’ve ever wanted to do in a sci-fi environment. It’s a noble attempt at an ambitious goal, but that buffet of gameplay means that parts of Halcyon 6 end up feeling undercooked.

However, if you’re willing to look at this as a turn-based sci-fi RPG that tries to offer more depth in areas that similar titles would overlook, you’ll likely fall in love with what Halcyon 6 has to offer. It’s a game that often asks you to manage a sometimes overwhelming amount of mechanics and resources yet consistently rewards you for your efforts through both in-game payoffs and the ability to look back at everything you have created and accomplished. 

Star Trek: Bridge Crew (2017)

Bridge Crew ’s VR functionality is its defining quality, greatest asset, and biggest detriment. Bridge Crew is at its best when you have four friends with four VR devices who are all willing to cooperate in a shared campaign. There are ways to play this game with fewer people and without VR, but every compromise dilutes the effectiveness of the intended experience. 

However, this truly is a dream Star Trek game when you’re able to play it the way it was meant to be played. It turns out that leading the bridge of a starship with the help of three friends in a virtual reality environment is just as much fun as many probably imagined such a thing would be when that scenario was as fantastical as any episode of Star Trek . Bridge Crew may be simpler than comparable video game experiences, but it’s a pure power fantasy in the best ways possible. 

Space Haven (2020)

One of the things I love about Star Trek that I don’t see replicated in a lot of video games is the communal nature of the Enterprise (especially Next Generation ’s NCC-1701-D). Yes, many Star Trek episodes typically focus on the bridge and away crews, but the idea that the Enterprise is essentially a miniature civilization with its own community and social structure has long been one of Star Trek ’s most fascinating and important sci-fi concepts. 

Space Haven is one of the rare games of its kind that allows you (or perhaps forces you) to explore that aspect of Star Trek while experiencing some of that franchise’s more cinematic adventures. Between the away team missions, ship-to-ship combat, and diplomacy assignments, Space Haven asks you to not only manage a ship full of people but turn that ship into a home. The game sometimes suffers from trying to do too much, but too few games offer what Space Haven does when it’s at its best.

The Captain (2021)

Despite its name, The Captain focuses a little less on commanding a starship (though that is an aspect of this title) and a little more on the difficult decisions that come with leadership. As Captain Thomas Welmu, you are tossed clear across the galaxy and tasked with making it back to Earth in time to save your people. Along the way, you will not only have to assemble a crew but also make incredibly difficult decisions about what you’re willing to sacrifice to make it back home.

It’s those choices that define The Captain experience. There are moral dilemmas in this adventure game that are as challenging and compelling as the quandaries presented by far larger and more famous RPGs. The Captain ’s brilliant story is worthy of the Next Generation episodes it was clearly inspired by and will allow you to experience exactly what it’s really like to need to make decisions in scenarios where there are no right answers. You may try your best to be the Picard this galaxy needs, but don’t be surprised if you often feel like you’re falling short despite doing your best.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition (2021)

From the moment BioWare revealed the first Mass Effect game, some couldn’t help but hope that one of the greatest developers in the world would finally make the Star Trek RPG they always dreamed of playing (minus the license, of course). Well, even though the Mass Effect games suffered through some ups and downs across the course of the trilogy, they ultimately proved to be just that. Compelling characters, difficult decisions, crew management, an entire galaxy to explore and impact…the Mass Effect trilogy remains the easiest game to recommend to anyone looking for the deepest, most complete, and overall best Star Trek -like gaming experience imaginable. 

What about Mass Effect Andromeda , though? Well, while that game was rightfully criticized upon its 2017 release for its many bugs and general decline in quality, I actually recommend giving it another look if you’re craving more Mass Effect . At the very least, that game’s basic structure and best ideas are easier to appreciate in a post- Anthem world deprived of BioWare-like RPGs.

Star Trek: Resurgence (2023)

If you’ve ever wondered what would have happened if the Telltale Games crew had made a Star Trek game during the company’s Wolf Among Us / Walking Dead glory days, then this adventure title is seemingly as close as we’ll ever get to that dream project. Actually, Resurgence was developed by former members of the Telltale team, and they were certainly not shy about bringing some of that studio’s best ideas to this project. 

It turns out that most of the things that defined those Telltale games (the episodic formats, the tough moral choices, and the narrative/character-driven scenarios) fit perfectly into the Star Trek universe and are enhanced by that universe’s style and lore. I’d go so far as to argue that this is the only official Star Trek game that not only excels at forcing you to make difficult decisions based on your relationship and ethics but even bothers to offer an interactive version of that aspect of the franchise in the first place. Hey, there is a reason it made our most underrated games of 2023 list.

The 10 Best Star Trek Games, Ranked By Metacritic

Star Trek has inspired a lot of video games over the years. Here's a look at 10 of the absolute best, according to Metacritic.

The Star Trek franchise is one of the media's biggest and oldest entertainment juggernauts. It covers movies, television, card games, role-playing modules, action figures, and a whole slew of every niche in between. Video games might have been one of the earliest branches from the original television series, appearing even before the movies.

RELATED:  5 Best Star Trek Games Ever (& 5 Worst)

Considering the brand's popularity, it has a poor reputation when it comes to video games . That might have started in the days of console gaming when the Star Trek name was attached to some hilarious failures. The fact is there are plenty of good Star Trek games out there no matter what computer hardware or gaming console is available, and one way to find them is by using Metacritic.

10 Star Trek: Invasion - 76

There's nothing that beats a classic, and this PS game has all the basic elements of a vintage Star Trek episode. The player is a pilot taking commands from none other than Commander Worf, and together they take on the Borg, a rogue Starfleet captain, and the Romulans. The focus of the game is the elite, cutting-edge ship that takes the player through this adventure-space shooter hybrid.

9 Star Trek: Bridge Crew - 78

One of the more recent games in the franchise,  Bridge Crew isn't the first one designed with Virtual Reality in mind, but it was intended specifically to be an immersive VR experience. The game recreates the environments from the show with impressive accuracy as the protagonist leads their ship and crew, and players and critics are heralding this as the future of virtual gaming.

8 Star Trek: Elite Force II - 78

The player is part of a clandestine security unit assigned to the Enterprise in Star Trek: Elite Force II.  This PC game has some nice fanservice for Trekkers and enough detail and expertise in the design department for everyone else.

RELATED:  15 Casting Decisions That Saved Star Trek (And 15 That Weren't Great)

The game includes a prologue in which the protagonist also gets some time on the USS Voyager along with a variety of other environments. This adventure leads to vast alien landscapes, other starships, and the void of deep space .

7 Star Trek: Starfleet Command III - 78

This PC game is a favorite because of the strategic gameplay and immersive plot, a common feature of most Star Trek games. What sets  Starfleet Command III  apart from others, either as part of the larger brand or in the Starfleet Command series, is the level of customization involved. Players can modify their ships with more weapons, better defense, and other features depending on their chosen strategy.

6 Star Trek Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates - 78

The Star Trek Starfleet Command game series for the PC tends to rank highly with both gamers and critics, and this is another entry on that list.  Orion Pirates  is an immersive PC game that mixes real-time strategy with the command of a starship. The player can choose to be one of the pirates or fight against them in their ultimate goal of conquering the universe.

5 Star Trek: Bridge Crew The Next Generation - 79

This game has a VR experience that has received rave reviews from both fans and critics, but that's not all that players like about it. The gameplay is intuitive, the graphics are sleek and detailed, and the storyline is compelling and immersive.

RELATED:  30 Crazy Star Trek Fan Theories (We Can't Believe Are True)

This game might be more popular if it was on more than one platform. Star Trek: Bridge Crew The Next Generation is only available on the PS4, and uses the graphics capabilities to the full extent of their powers.

4 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Fallen - 81

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , The Fallen is a PC game that features a compelling storyline and the opportunity to play as three famous characters, either as Commander Worf, Captain Sisko, or Major Kira, each of which were high ranking officers on the show. The main storyline consists of a search for three orbs, powerful artifacts that will give the federation an edge for controlling the galaxy.

3 Star Trek Fleet Command - 82

One of the first attempts at a mobile game for the franchise, in this case for the iPhone,  Star Trek Fleet Command  delivers on the complex and interesting gameplay as well as serving up some nice hot fanservice. The game includes references and characters from virtually every Star Trek show and timeline and includes plenty of strategic adventures along with quests to explore, build, and recruit your favorite Star Trek heroes.

2 Star Trek Bridge Commander - 82

It's the drama of the storyline that initially hooks players on this highly immersive PC game. In Star Trek Bridge Commander,  the plot begins when the player takes command after the Captain is killed in a mysterious explosion.

RELATED:  Star Trek: 25 Things About Captain Kirk That Make No Sense

The protagonist's mission is to find out what caused the initial blast and prevent a recurrence. This leads into an intricate game that consists of completing missions, forming alliances, and uncovering a dark political secret.

1 Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force - 86

One of the things about Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force  that explains the high rating is that players for this PC game take the helm as fan-favorite , Tuvok. It also helps that Raven Software didn't spare any expense when it comes to funding the graphics department, and the FPS design is fun to play and easy to learn.

Das beste Star-Trek-Spiel: Die 20 wichtigsten Titel im Top-Ranking

Was ist das beste Spiel zu Star Trek? Im großen Ranking erinnern wir uns mit euch an Ego-Shooter-, Echtzeitstrategie- und Adventure-Perlen. Alarmstufe Rot!

GameStar Redaktion , Peter Bathge 13.10.2023 | 11:30 Uhr

Besondere Reportagen, Analysen und Hintergründe für Rollenspiel-Helden, Hobbygeneräle und Singleplayer-Fans – von Experten, die wissen, was gespielt wird. Deine Vorteile:

Phaser auf Betäubung? Von wegen, wir feuern eine volle Breitseite Photonentorpedos ab: Tagelang haben sich die größten Star-Trek-Fans der GameStar-Redaktion den Kopf zermartert über die Frage nach dem besten Star-Trek-Spiel für PC .

Update vom 13. Oktober 2023: Jetzt findet sich auch Star Trek: Infinite im Top-Ranking .

Update vom 10. Juli 2023: Wir haben diese Liste mit dem kürzlich veröffentlichten Star Trek: Resurgence aktualisiert.

Als wir schon den Computer fragen und zur Entspannung aufs Holodeck gehen wollten, konnten wir uns doch noch auf eine Liste der 20 besten Star-Trek-Spiele einigen, allerdings mit einigen Einschränkungen . Zuerst einmal natürlich die Zahl an sich.

Im Lauf der Jahrzehnte (Star Trek gibt's seit 1966) sind unheimliche viele Videospiel-Adaptionen zu Gene Roddenberrys legendärem Science-Fiction-Universum entstanden. Und wo Entwickler Lücken gelassen haben, ist die aktive Mod-Community eingesprungen. Stellaris hat sich in den letzten Jahren als besonderer Mod-Liebling herauskristallisiert, wo mit New Horizons eine der komplettesten Star-Trek-Spielerfahrungen zum Gratis-Download bereitsteht:

Alle jemals erschienenen Star-Trek-Spiele in einem Top-Ranking abzubilden, erschien uns schwieriger als der Kobayashi Maru an der Sternenflottenakademie, weshalb wir uns auf die Top 20 beschränkt haben. Und weil die ganz alten Spiele zur Zeit von DOS und Co. erstens aus heutiger Sicht wenig ansehnlich und zweitens zum überwiegenden Teil gar nicht so gut waren, findet ihr in dieser Liste lediglich Spiele mit einem Release-Datum im Jahr 1990 oder später .

Damit bleiben uns dennoch über 30 Jahre Star Trek auf dem PC - und genügend Zeit für persönliche Erinnerungen an unsere Lieblingsspiele. Also senkt eure Schutzschilde, beendet Alarmstufe Rot und beamt euch rein in diesen Wohlfühlartikel. Wir wünschen viel Spaß beim Schmökern und hoffen, dass ihr eure Favoriten in den Kommentaren mit uns teilt!

Die Top 20 Spiele zu Star Trek im Ranking

20. star trek: the next generation - klingon honor guard.

Release : Oktober 1998 | Plattform : PC | Genre: Ego-Shooter | Entwickler: Microprose | Wertung : 73

Peter Bathge:   Wie heißt James Bond auf Klingonisch? Ich habe gerade mein Wörterbuch verlegt, aber bestellt euch besser schon mal einen Blutwein, geschüttelt, nicht gerührt, denn jetzt geht’s um die Ehre. Klingon Honor Guard ist ein heute nahezu vergessener Shooter, der auf Basis der Unreal-Grafik eine höchst ungewöhnliche Story erzählte.

Denn anders als bei vielen Star-Trek-Spielen steht hier nicht die von Menschen dominierte Sternenflotte im Vordergrund, nein, ihr seid als klingonischer Superspion einer Verschwörung auf der Spur, die Kanzler Gowron tot sehen will. Weil Klingonen aber mindestens ebenso wenig von echter Spionagearbeit halten wie James Bond, wird fleißig geballert oder mit dem Bat’leth im Nahkampf punktiert. Das spielt sich solide und stellenweise sogar recht innovativ (ihr kämpft mit Magnetstiefeln auf der Außenhülle einer Raumstation), bleibt aber zu oft im Schatten von Unreal.

19. Star Trek: Starfleet Command

Release : August 1999 | Plattform : PC | Genre: Echtzeitstrategie | Entwickler: 14° East/Quicksilver Software | Wertung : 68

Peter Bathge: In der Zeit vor Homeworld sah das Weltall in Strategiespielen oft so aus wie in Starfleet Command - flach wie eine Flunder. Raumschiffe bewegen sich hier auf einem Raster und begegnen sich stets auf der gleichen Ebene; Ausweichmanöver nach oben oder unten sind nicht vorgesehen. Ebenfalls nicht existent: eine Story-Kampagne. Ihr arbeitet einfach nur Aufträge von einer von sechs Fraktionen ab. Schräg: Zwei davon wurden extra fürs Spiel erfunden. 

Mit seiner komplizierten Steuerung macht es Starfleet Command einem nicht leicht, einen Zugang zum Herzstück des Spiels zu finden: den komplexen Schlachten, in denen Schild-Management und Positionierung Trumpf sind. Durch das langsame Tempo fühle ich mich dabei immer an die Zeit der großen Segelschiffe erinnert, statt Kanonen lade ich eben Photonentorpedoschäfte.

18. Star Trek: Starfleet Command 3

Release : November 2002 | Plattform : PC | Genre: Echtzeitstrategie | Entwickler: Taldren | Wertung : 66

Peter Bathge: Ich will euch nichts vormachen - welches der drei Starfleet-Command-Spiele nun den höchsten Platz in dieser Liste verdient hat, ist komplette Ansichtssache. Mir persönlich gefällt aber, dass sich Teil 3 vom TOS-Szenario löst und mich endlich auch modernere Raumschiffe steuern lässt. Die Story-Kampagne konzentriert sich diesmal auf Föderation, Klingonen und Romulaner, außerdem gibt’s eine Handvoll Extramissionen aufseiten der Borg - klasse! 

Die Rollenspielelemente motivierten wie zuvor, aber Starfleet Command 3 behielt auch das größte Hindernis der Serie auf dem Weg zum großen Erfolg bei: Das Interface war weiterhin furchtbar umständlich! In der Folge versuchten sich mehrere Spiele an einer Wiederbelebung des Spielprinzips, doch weder Star Trek: Legacy noch das actionreiche Star Trek: D.A.C. konnten in Sachen Qualität hier einen draufsetzen, vom nur scheinbar verwandten Mobile-Game Fleet Command ganz zu schweigen:

17. Star Trek: 25th Anniversary

Release : Juni 1992 | Plattform : PC, Amiga | Genre: Adventure | Entwickler: Interplay | Wertung : -

Nils Raettig: Meine Anfangszeit mit PC-Spielen wurde vor allem von zwei Genres dominiert: Jump-and-Run-Spiele wie Commander Keen und Adventures wie Monkey Island. Glücklicherweise hat Interplay Anfang der 90er ein passendes Star-Trek-Adventure auf Basis der Originalserie herausgebracht. Die habe ich zwar nie wirklich geschaut, aber wer das Star-Trek-Feeling aus einer Serie kennt, der kennt es aus allen Serien.

Da Star-Trek-Folgen auch oft ein bisschen wie ein Adventure aufgebaut sind mit zu knackenden Rätseln wie verlassenen Raumschiffen, geheimnisvollen Funksignalen oder unbekannten Planeten, eignet sich das Genre nach wie vor sehr gut für ein Star-Trek-Spiel.

Ich muss zwar gestehen, dass ich das Spiel damals eher geschaut als selbst gezockt habe – meinem großen Bruder mit deutlich besseren Englischkenntnissen beim Spielen zu sehen, war teils die einzige Möglichkeit für mich, PC-Spiele zu erleben. Aber ich kann mich trotzdem noch sehr gut daran erinnern, wie es 25th Anniversary geschafft hat, die altbekannte, wohlige Star-Trek-Atmosphäre zu erschaffen.

Es wurde meiner Erinnerung nach zwar ziemlich viel geredet und die Rätsel waren teils arg um die Ecke gedacht. Aber auch das passt ja irgendwie wieder zur Serie.

Six Classic Star Trek Video Games Now Available for Download

Journey back to the late-90s and early-2000s with these classic Star Trek games.

Just in time for Star Trek Day , online video game retailer GOG.com has revealed that six classic Star Trek computer games are now available to download. This marks the first time these games are available on a modern video game storefront.

Star Trek: Voyager – Elite Force (2000) and its sequel (2003), Star Trek: Bridge Commander (2002), Star Trek: Starfleet Command III (2002), Star Trek: Hidden Evil (1999), and Star Trek: Away Team (2001) are now available for $10 each. These games are promised to play on modern computers.

Star Trek: Voyager – Elite Force –a first-person shooter set onboard the USS Voyager where you must take on some of the most dangerous special missions. Star Trek: Elite Force II – a stunning sequel set on Enterprise-E where you get your orders from Captain Jean-Luc Picard himself! Star Trek: Hidden Evil – a third-person adventure game with both Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner reprising their roles as Captain Picard and Lt. Cmdr. Data. Star Trek: Away Team – an isometric turn-based tactical game influenced by titles like Commandos and the X-Com series. Star Trek: Starfleet Command III – a simulation game with RPG elements where you can customize your starship and lead it into space battles. Star Trek: Bridge Commander – a space combat simulation game that sits you in an actual captain’s chair with a crew waiting for your orders.

Star Trek: Armada and its sequel are slated as “TBA.”

A few years ago, we looked back at Elite Force (often considered the best Star Trek game of all time) with the game’s director, Brian Pelletier, and found it holds up well after all these years.

I loved Elite Force, I remember in that game one of the first things I did was fire on the bridge crew, very satisfying.

David Wilburn

I would be willing to pay up to $40 if they would use more advanced game engine with high polygon and texture models on the games. I would pay as much as $60 for a single updated game including all missions and add expansions of Voyager Elite Force 1 & 2

The best 13 star trek games for online and pc in 2023.

Star Trek is a never-ending potential of a universe that can capture you in its fantasy world. It has been a massive hit since it first premiered on the screen 50 years ago, and after that, the story is only a success. Many fan fiction and Star Trek products exist, but you are not here for those. You are here for the best star trek games. And yes, there are a large number of official as well as fan-made Star Trek games on the internet. We have evaluated them all and made a list of the top games based on Star Trek. These games here cover all different parts of the Star Trek saga.

STAR TREK Games at a Glance

Best star trek pc games in 2023.

Not all Star Trek games are successful, and not all capture the saga’s true essence. Here are 13 of the best star trek pc games for you.

1. Star Trek Online

Star Trek Online is a multiplayer online role-playing game available for free. You can enjoy this game on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Isn’t it great that you can explore the limitless universe and colonize any part of it in Star Trek Online? The game lets you create a virtual space world of your own.

2. Star Trek: Elite Force

Given Star Trek’s peaceful environment, the Star Trek: Elite Force’s first-person shooter might initially seem odd. But there is a saying, ‘oddly satisfying,’ and Star Trek: Elite Force is just that. It is an old game made by Raven Software, known for the Soldier of Fortune series. The game feels at home, even with a massive shoot-out perspective.

TBH lacks the familiar, peaceful environment of every other Star Trek tale, but it will thrill you to be part of the away team. It has action and adventure at every level of the game.

3. Star Trek: Starfleet Command III

If you are a Star Trek fan, you know that most of the series is about strategy and diplomacy. It will be a loss if we cannot use that in a game. Star Trek: Starfleet Command III brings just that into the mix, adventure, and thrills. It is a great real-time strategy game  on the star fleet command center.

4. Star Trek: The Next Generation: A Final Unity

Star Trek: The Next Generation: A Final Unity was an old game in 1995. Though it is one of the oldest star trek online gameplay, it captures the true spirits of Star Trek. Even 25 years after its release, it is the best.

5. Star Trek: Bridge Crew

Star Trek: Bridge Crew doesn’t have the most excellent depth in gameplay, but it lets you be a part of the Star Trek crew in virtual reality. Yes, my friend! You can join in the fun in VR. Both you and your friends can turn themselves into characters in the game in augmented reality and explore space.

6. Star Trek: Armada

Most Star Trek games put the players in charge of a specific one or two ships. But not in this one. In Star Trek: Armada, you are the admiral of the whole fleet. Yes, you are on the Starfleet command in this PC game.

7. Star Trek: Judgment Rites

Star Trek: Judgment Rites is a game that will make you nostalgic. If you have played Star Trek games for a while, you have come across this one. This game used to be for DOS and Mac OS. It came out in 1993, and it has fantastic graphics and sounds for a game of that period. It will take you back to the past and give you a refreshed feel.

8. Star Trek: Bridge Commander

Star Trek: Bridge Commander is one of the Star Trek browser games featuring several cameos from your favorite characters. You can see Captain Picard and other familiar faces here. You can also check out the Commander data.

9. Star Trek: Timelines

Star Trek: Timelines is a game available on PCs, mobile devices, and online. This game is another game featuring star trek adventures. The game is initially designed for mobile devices so you can enjoy the adventure of the Star Trek universe on your Android phones. The game is available on the Google play store and the  App Store . 

10. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – The Fallen

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine puts you in the role of either Captain Benjamin Sisko, Lt. Commander Worf. You can also play as Major Kira Nerys. You get to play as a different character with different capabilities on every level. It has a great story, excellent gameplay, and smooth development. Overall, The Fallen is a great game from the old days.

11. Star Trek Legacy

Star Trek Legacy is another strategy-based game where you take the star trek fleet command in your hand. The game can be enjoyed on PCs as well as consoles. The game is fantastic as it lets you control different ships that are part of the Star fleet across the universe. It features the Enterprise, Next Generation, and not to forget Original Series.

12. Star Trek: Trexels II

Star Trek: Trexels II is another excellent game of the star trek timeline. Most Star Trek-featured games are serious. But in the case of Star Trek: Trexels II, it is nothing like that. This one is a friendly, fun game. Star Trek: Trexels II game is similar to Fallout Shelter. You take command of a spaceship and breeze through space as you collect your crews. The game is straightforward to set up a command and complete in-ship tasks. The ship’s success is in your hand.

13. Star Trek: Legacy

2006 Bethesda published Star Trek: Legacy for Windows and Xbox 360. The game lets you control a large of Starfleet ships in different eras. The game features voiceovers by actual characters from the film and TV series. You will find William Shatner, Scott Bakula, Avery Brooks, Patrick Stewart, and Kate Mulgrew as part of the project. I may warn you, though. Bethesda’s PC version of Star Trek was a high-budget venture: Legacy didn’t catch on the market for laggy controls and glitches. But the Xbox 360 version is fantastic. It is much better, and the controls are better on the console. The game allows you to witness epic battles between ships in 3D.

A Galaxy of Possibilities

Create your captain and set your course.

Science officers use their knowledge to support their ship and crew, weakening or incapacitating enemies, creating energy fields that hinder or damage foes and treating the wounds of their fellow officers. Vulcans are always prepared to consider the needs of the many over the needs of the few.

Tactical officers use stealth and squad tactics, while having the most options to improve their damage in combat. In battle, tactical officers can draw enemy fire to help their team or beam down a security squad to take out a difficult foe. Andoria is one of the four founding worlds of the Federation.

A cold-blooded, reptilian species, Gorn are many times stronger than humans and have sharp claws on their hands and feet. They are territorial and stubborn, and have racial memories that go back hundreds of years. The Gorn rule a large region in the Alpha Quadrant, and have an uneasy peace with the Federation.

After years of study and training at Starfleet Academy, young officers often join the crews of starships to seek out new life and new civilizations. Exploration, diplomacy, research and defense are but a few of the duties Starfleet officers can tackle in their careers as representatives of the United Federation of Planets.

Romulans hail from one of the strongest empires in the galaxy. Unlike their Vulcan “cousins,” the Romulans are a proud, passionate and militaristic people. The cloaking device on their starships allows them to strike without warning, often giving them a tactical edge in battle.

The greatest strength of a science officer is her versatility, even when behind enemy lines. Romulan Republic operatives are infiltrating the Tal Shiar to learn more about their secrets and how best to defeat them.

Exemplary service and glory in battle is not the only way to advance in the Klingon Defense Force. If a warrior thinks his captain has acted dishonorably, he can challenge him to single combat. The victor takes command... and the loser dies in disgrace.

Remans were used as slaves and shock troops by the Romulans until the late 24th century, when a group of Remans led by the human clone Shinzon assassinated the Romulan senate and captured the government in a military coup. Remans are now part of the Romulan Republic.

The pheromones of female Orions make males of many species susceptible to suggestion. While many Orions are smugglers and raiders who plunder unwary ships for the Orion Syndicate, others have chosen the path of honor and serve the Klingon Defense Force.

Science officers use their knowledge to support their ship and crew, weakening or incapacitating enemies, creating energy fields that hinder or damage foes and treating the wounds of their fellow officers. They are sometimes seen wearing a breathing apparatus in oxygen/nitrogen atmospheres.
