This mouse-keyboard combination works quite smoothly. You can control the space ship using the typical FPS key commands and just need to aim and fire with the click of your mouse. Commanding and guiding crew members from a captain’s perspective are a unique simulation experience, but maneuvering the ship directly is more fascinating. You have to rely on the skills of your AI crew to maneuver your ship and target opponents. Players play the entire game from the captain’s viewpoint. The entire story is set in a region of space called the Maelstrom where the captain has to investigate the reason of the mysterious supernova and solving the mystery involves the combination of tactical combat and interactivity. In fact the story advances by investigating certain events and this can only be achieved by discussing or interacting with other characters.

Star Trek Bridge Commander not only involves a series of tactical combat solutions, but also offers some interactivity with other non-player characters to solve a particular situation. It would be unfair to call it as a space sim game, because it includes some adventure elements as well. Bridge Commander’s tactical battles resemble the battles showed in various Star Trek television series and movies. The game focuses more on tactical combats between large, durable starships instead of small fighter crafts. Unlike other Star Trek games like Klingon Academy and Starfleet Academy, Bridge Commander is an interesting game set in the Star Trek Universe. And if you want even more, GOG also has Interplay's Star Trek games-Star Trek 25th Anniversary and Judgment Rites, which are both on sale for 30% off, along with Starfleet Academy and Starfleet Command: Gold Edition.Star Trek Bridge Commander is an enjoyable space sim game developed by Totally Games, a name quite popular for releasing simulation games. Two more "new" Star Trek games are on the way: Star Trek: Armada, an RTS that offers the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, and Borg as playable factions, and the sequel Armada 2, are "coming soon" and can be wishlisted now. And that way you can avoid the crappy puzzles and disinterested fights. If you want an old adventure game featuring Picard, A Final Unity is far superior and blessed with graphics that hold up much better today. But it's notable because someone actually decided that Insurrection, the worst Star Trek movie, deserved a direct sequel, even if just in videogame form. Quake-meets-Star-Trek was an incredibly seductive prospect back in 2000, and still a pretty great hook today.Īnd he has some thoughts on Hidden Evil, which was somewhat less impressive in its day: This is just a great, classic shooter, from a time when the competition was steep. Set during and just after the end of Voyager, Starfleet's Hazard Team swaps diplomacy for phasers and proves to be very good at vaporising the Borg and other spacefaring baddies. The first Elite Force showed that Star Trek couldn't just work as an FPS, it could excel. He's also a big fan of the Elite Force games, which don't always get their due as the excellent shooters that they are.

For Trekkers with a more well-developed taste for explosions, Starfleet Command 3 is a very well-regarded ship combat simulator that gives players control over Federation, Klingon, and Romulan forces across a series of story-driven campaigns, and we actually declared Bridge Commander-essentially a Kobayashi Maru test, minus the vicious side-eye from Starfleet Academy students who think they're smarter than you-to be " the greatest Star Trek game ever." The Elite Force games are really good shooters-better than you might expect from a show that, at least post-TOS, tends to focus more on the chatty side of deep space exploration.
