Star Trek: Encounters

This arcade-style shooter’s three distinct game modes allow players to pilot different starships from each of the five Star Trek television series (Enterprise, The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager). The game modes are as follows: Gamers can immediately engage in single or multiplayer skirmishes in Skirmish Mode, which does not involve a task. Ships and abilities acquired by playing through Episode Mode can be used in this mode. In Episode Mode, players will go through missions from each of the five shows (beginning with Enterprise and ending with Voyager). They will collect new ships and character cards representing each generation’s command crew. These character cards will allow them to upgrade the capabilities of their respective crafts. In the Multiplayer Mode, players face off against one another in several combat campaigns to determine who can hold out the longest in the heat of battle. Each ship has access to the entire complement of capabilities and weapons available in the Star Trek universe, including phasers, photon and quantum torpedoes, shields, scanners, mines, tractor beams, and transporters.
