Star Trek: Encounters
Description (IGDB)
In this arcade-style shooter, players take control of various starships from the five Star Trek television shows (Enterprise, The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager) through three separate gameplay modes: Skirmish Mode - Players can instantly enter single or multiplayer battles without a mission. Ships and abilities unlocked in Episode Mode can be used here. Episode Mode - Players go through missions from the five shows (starting with Enterprise and finishing with Voyager), collecting new ships, and character cards of each generation's command crew, which upgrades their respective ship's capabilities. Mulitiplayer Mode - Players go head to head in combat campaigns to see who can survive the longest in battle. The full arsenal of Trek weapons and abilities can be used for each ship, including phasers, photon/quantum torpedoes, shields, scanners, mines, tractor beams, and transporters.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« It's a great value for its $20 debut price tag, and it’s easily my favorite game of any generation based on the Star Trek license. »
« Takes the tactical combat of Starfleet Command and turns it into action - of which there is not enough. It is not a truly bad Trek product, but the frustrating difficulty level and clumsy controls make playing too much of a chore. [Feb 2007] »
« Sure, it’s a little silly that the Enterprise is flinging itself around the galaxy taking out Klingon Birds of Prey to and fro, but there are some classic Trek moments to be had, from beaming off away teams to outrunning the shockwaves of exploding planets. »
« Crafted in a TV universe that puts less emphasis on warfare, Star Trek: Encounters is a curious choice as a tactical ship combat simulation. »
« It would be even more fun, though, if I had more ships at my disposal earlier, in a campaign that weren’t so linear, or so dull. Still, for twenty bucks, this is a game worth probing. »
« I said it in the review and I'll say it again here: this is a Star Trek game in name only, and it's a crying shame. If only a little more attention to the history of the universe had been applied it wouldn't feel like such a wasted license. »
« This is almost a decent game -- it certainly tries -- and Trekkers looking for an action game could certainly do worse. Avoid beaming in with particularly high expectations and you'll probably get your 15 bucks worth of hot Enterprise vs. Bird of Prey action. »
« Star Trek Encounters isn’t really worthy of it’s license. It seems to be stuck together by black holes instead of a plot, which would’ve so easily have been afforded with all of the various Treks at their disposal. »
