Top 10 Star Trek video games ranked from worst to best

4. Star Trek: Starfleet Command – Orion Pirates (2001)

Next on our list is Star Trek: Starfleet Command – Orion Pirates, a stellar addition to the Starfleet Command series that launched back in 2001. In this game, you’re in command of a starship, the vast expanse of space stretched out before you, and the fate of your crew and vessel in your hands. This game lets you live out that dream, offering a tactical playground where your decisions carry the weight of the Federation (or other powerhouses in the Star Trek universe).

Orion Pirates requires patience and strategy. Players love the depth of tactical gameplay, the intricacies of managing a starship, and, of course, the rush of interstellar combat. Engaging with the infamous Orion Pirates added a layer of charm and cunning to the game, making every encounter a delightful dance of photon torpedoes and deft maneuvering. But it’s not just phasers and photons, there’s diplomacy, too. Your words can be as powerful as your warp drive.

While it’s a treasure for those who love strategy and the Star Trek lore, it can be a tad daunting for those not versed in the art of command or those seeking a more fast-paced experience. Plus, the graphics, while functional, didn’t quite make jaws drop even in its heyday. Yet, for the tactical minds yearning for a taste of life in the captain’s chair, Orion Pirates is a solid game.

3. Star Trek: Voyage – Elite Force (2000)

Buckle up, Starfleet cadets, because we’re about to warp into the action-packed corridors of Star Trek: Voyager – Elite Force, a game that sits pretty at number three. This first-person shooter, launched in the year 2000, still beams up a sense of nostalgia and excitement to this day.

Elite Force feels like stepping into a high-octane episode of the Star Trek: Voyager series. You’re part of the Hazard Team, an elite group that tackles the dangers not even the Borg could brush off with a “resistance is futile” wave. The game mixes exciting and dangerous shootouts with brain-scratching puzzles.

What’s more, it’s not just about blasting enemies – it’s about feeling like you’re truly part of the Voyager crew, working alongside fan favorites like Captain Janeway and Seven of Nine. The cherry on top? Authentic voices from the actual cast that pull you into the Star Trek universe faster than a warp drive.
