Softonic review
A free to play Star Trek MMORPG
Star Trek Online is a free to play sci-fi Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing game. Peace in the galaxy has broken down, with the Borg, Romulans and Klingons all fighting against the Federation once more. This is an action packed game, full of combat on foot and in space. Great fun for Star Trek and role playing fans alike.
Getting Started
Like most MMORPGs, you begin by signing up and then creating a character. There are all the species you'll know from the Star Trek universe, and you can change all the various physical attributes of your character to get just the player you want. You're immediately assigned to a Starship in the midst of a crisis, and it's here the excellent tutorial missions begin. The tutorial is extensive, exciting and totally accessible for new players - probably the best MMORPG tutorial I've played.
There are two basic parts to the gameplay in Star Trek Online. There's on foot combat, on planet surfaces or in ships, and then there is space combat. The space combat is especially pleasing, as it relies much more on skill than fighting in many MMORPGS. You have to maneuver around enemy ships, aiming at their damaged points, while protecting your own shields. Battles can be quite long and nerve wracking, but very satisfying. Combat on foot isn't as impressive, but is perfectly acceptable.
Captain your own Starship
Progression is made by talking to superiors and taking on missions. Characters aren't particularly memorable, but the world feels like Star Trek, and despite some repetitive in mission styles fans will forgive that just because they are captaining their own Starship and crew. That doesn't get old, and the promise of better, bigger ships will keep you forging ahead in the game. There are premium aspects for players who want more, faster, but there is a lot to enjoy here for the free player too.
Star Trek Online is an excellent free to play MMORPG. Production values are high, the combat and progression are satisfying, and it really feels like a populated, living universe full of adventure to get into.
- Feels right
- Excellent space combat
- Come repetitive missions

Epic. i play this game a lot and i find it brilliant!! its really good but does take a while to get used to. the controls are really smooth and once you progress later in the game it starts getting better as your ships gets faster and more powe rful. ground combat is okay it could be better but the massive array of weopens and powers you have a really good. Pros: Great space combat good controls hundreds of customisations for your ship and captain Cons: a bit repetative the Klingons are too easy to defeat.' takes a while to install More

'Star Trek Online' new season 'Reflections' is out and free to play!
The new season is free to play.
The popular massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) "Star Trek Online" has released its latest season, now available to play for free.
"Reflections" is available on PC and will be coming to consoles sometime in November. The new season will come as a free update for players and will see the newfound peace in the Star Trek universe established during the games’ previous season, threatened by dangers emerging from the Mirror Universe.
To celebrate the release of the new season, digital retailer Fanatical and publisher Perfect World Entertainment are releasing charity bundles of downloadable content (DLC) that players can buy for a reduced price in support of The Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
Related: The best Star Trek gifts and deals for 2021 More: Star Trek Adventures tabletop RPG
The story of "Reflections" follows the ending of the longstanding Klingon Civil War. Despite the bloodshed coming to an end, things are far from peaceful in the final frontier. The action starts with a surprise appearance from the savage Admiral Leeta (played by Chase Masterson, a "Star Trek Online" fan favorite and "Deep Space Nine" star), who travels from the Mirror Universe to warn the Federation of a threat that could endanger both of their universes.
There are also a whole host of features included with the new season, like a new featured episode called "Firewall," a new task force operation, a "Reflections" special event, new lower decks content and a captain elite training token.
"Star Trek Online" is free to download as a base game with in-game purchases and DLC available.

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.

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 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.

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.
Preserving old games was seen as a non-commercial 'art project' until recently, says Nightdive director: 'They were great then and they're great now, and companies have begun to realize that'
If working overtime on AAA games with giant budgets is the only way to succeed, 'then maybe the industry deserves to die,' says RPG veteran David Gaider: 'There is another way to be'

How do I launch the game? All patches have been installed in the correct order, and the game is installed also. I have mounted the file to a virtual drive. I'm running on Windows 10 and I have no clue where the option to run the game is? Answers if possible very needed.
grimm 2023-12-14 -1 point
is there a way to play this with a controller?
Capt'n Cad 2023-07-04 0 point
Thanks for the info TESLA! I can mount the ISO file but is there any kind of install that needs to run once its mounted? After mounting I install the patches which go to a file on the C drive but when I go back to the mounted ISO file it still fails to run/install. I just want to play the game but can't figure this bit out!
TE5LA 2023-07-03 0 point
For those who don't know and are trying to run the ISO file directly: You need to either burn a DVD from the ISO or mount the ISO to a virtual DVD drive. UltraISO is one such software that will work. I installed this on Windows 10 64-bit Pro and it worked perfectly.
TE5LA 2023-07-03 1 point
I just downloaded this on Windows 10 Pro and it works perfectly. Others not being successful installing this on the same OS must not be doing something correctly. Download the ISO, mount it to a virtual drive, then run the 3 patches in order. Make sure the game and all patches follow the same game path. IF anyone knows how to force 2560x1440 resolution, please let me know. The game option is only to 1080.
Capt'n Cad 2023-07-01 2 points
Any idea how to install the base game? I can install the patches fine but the base download file fails saying the install was interrupted? Trying to install on Windows 11.
Dukat 2023-06-27 0 point
Works perfectly on Win10 x64 after patches 1.1 and 1.2 are applied (not tried to run the 1.3 patch as it's unofficial according to the installer)
Aspinal 2023-05-18 6 points
Can anyone post step by step instructions as to download, unzip, and install? I am having issues getting this to install and am not sure why. Windows 11 and tried running in compatibility mode.
Tomaso 2023-05-13 1 point
Worked for me... Do i clean install of the downloaded game (don't run it), install all patches by number and only run it after ALL the patches have been installed. Keep in my mind this is an ISO file so it has to be mounted on the drive when you run the game! have fun
GH 2023-05-13 -1 point
Massive crash.
Jeff 2023-04-24 -1 point
As per the others, the game doesn't work.
Rhisiart 2023-04-09 0 point
FRAAM I had the same error ,locate the .exe file that starts the game and right click on it and select run as administrator, also make sure to install the 3 patch/mod files in the order advised.

working flawlessly on win 10 so far, for those having trouble try this, first make sure to install all 3 patches in order, then right click on the shortcut on your desktop, choose properties, go to the compatibility tab, tick the box in the compatibility mode section and in the drop down choose windows xp(service pack 3), hope it help!!!

I download the game and install it but when I go to play the game it says "Star Trek Legacy Unhandled Exception Exception Access Violation" and it gives me the offer to either debug it or quit and both options lead to it closing the window.

Brockster17 2019-07-11 6 points
I downloaded it, but it will not run. When trying to run any program in the download, it just says the download wizard was interrupted and nothing happened. Installing the ISScript does nothing. How can I fix this problem? (Im running windows 10)
