Hoppla, dieses Spiel ist ein Geheimtipp! Eigentlich war ich nicht glücklich, als der Test mir zuviel, weil Star Trek nicht meine Sache ist. Aber als ich mir dann die Tutorials reinzog und schließlich auch online ging (was gleich beim ersten Versuch problemlos funktionierte), dachte ich mir: Oho, in diesem Spiel steckt viel mehr, als es zunächst den Anschein hat! Vergleichsweise leicht zu lernen, aber schwer zu meistern - das wäre die kurze Zusammenfassung des Spielprinzips. Die Steuerung jedoch ist manchmal fitzeliger, als sie sein müsste.

But as with other addicting games, ConQuest's problems disappear when they are stacked up against the game's engrossing gameplay and easy matchmaking system. Together with the ability to trade for those pieces that you desperately need to build the ultimate control group, you've got the makings of a game that can offer months and months of enjoyment. And because you pay only for the pieces and not to play, it's also an affordable obsession. If you're into collectible card games, even if you're not a big Star Trek fan, then you should take the time to download the starter pack and give the game a try. Chances are you might have just started a brand-new hobby.

Speel als Q tegen andere Q's met als pionnen Star Trek-elementen en als speelveld het universum.

Conquest ist nicht gerade ein Spiel das optische oder akustische Schmankerl bietet. Eine sehr sparsame, unbewegte Grafik, lediglich die Spielkarten sind ganz ordentlich und die Akustik beschränkt sich auf eine gesprochene Begrüßung und Verabschiedung sowie einige Steinzeit FX. Muß ja auch nicht zwingend sein. Tja, sicherlich eine Frage des persönlichen Geschmacks, ob man an sich in Conquest Online hineinkniet und Freude daran gewinnt. Mein Fall ist es nicht so sehr. Mich stört der dezente Abzockcharakter von diesen virtuellen (!) Sammelkarten und außerdem habe ich bei solchen strategischen Spielchen meinen Gegner lieber vor mir sitzen.

This just strikes us as something incredibly unimportant and trivial being taken far too seriously by far too many people. Unless you are a die-hard CCG-er with a disliking for maths, it really is hard to recommend this. But if you are, then you couldn't ask for a more comprehensive and well-coded way to play it on-line. Your call.

Game Over Online
Recommending Star Trek: Conquest Online is not an easy thing to do. While you can play against computer opponents on your own time, they can become incredible predictable. Star Trek: Conquest Online was meant to be played online against opponents from around the world, not as a single player game. What this means though is that you'll undoubtedly have to purchase booster packs in order to compete with such players. If you already own the card game and have a number of players you can war with, I don't see why you would want to purchase the PC version just so you can buy all those booster packs all over again. If, however, you don't have a clique that you can play the card game with and you want to find some players to fight, Star Trek: Conquest Online does offer the platform to do so. It's a tough call really, but in the end Star Trek: Conquest Online gets a greedy thumbs down.

Star Trek: Conquest Online will probably have a limited audience. It fills a very specific niche that will not appeal to a majority of PC gamers. This type of card/strategy game has never been my forte, but I can see where some may enjoy it. The ease of access to other players is the game's strong point - the gameplay is certainly an acquired taste. Bottom Line: Very basic graphics and sound. Tutorials and AI games give you the ability to learn and practice before you go into a live game. The interface is cluttered, but manageable. The online component is the game's strong point, as it is efficient and allows you to find a game whenever you like.

Afzetterij van een magnitude die we nog maar zelden zijn tegengekomen in computergames!

Bei
Activision müssen sich ein paar
Ferengi eingeschlichen haben. Star
Trek: Conquest ist ganz darauf
gestrickt, sammelwütigen Strategen
das Kleingeld aus der Tasche zu
ziehen. Das eigentliche Spiel ist
recht clever ausgetüftelt, Denksportler
kommen auf ihre Kosten –
sofern sie bereit sind, sich in die
zahlreichen Menüs einzuarbeiten.
Alle anderen, auch Trekker, lassen
lieber die Finger davon.

The rarity of the pieces makes the game almost impossible to fully explore with the basic retail package. Many of the rare pieces work best in combos that require other rare pieces. Some characters can't even be used until you collect the other elements of the combo. Activision seems content to let brokers camp out on the chat channel, advertising rare units for sale at a separate online site. It seems that ConQuest Online is more about making money than presenting a good game. On the whole, I'd rather be in Chron X.
