Our take on Star Trek: Infinite
The store page foregrounds the freedom to shape a Star Trek story, but the core experience is a grand strategy game built on Stellaris systems. The Deluxe Edition also bundles cosmetic, audio, and art-book extras alongside the base game.
What is Star Trek: Infinite?
Lead one of four major factions: the United Federation of Planets, Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire, or Cardassian Union.
Make decisions as the faction leader while pursuing diplomacy, espionage, warfare, or a combination of these approaches. Recruit familiar characters such as Picard, Janeway, Sisko, Data, Gowron, Makbar, and Garak. Build a faction-specific fleet containing ships including Intrepid-, Defiant-, Galor-, D'deridex-, and Negh'Var-class vessels. Federation players can develop the Enterprise-D through a dedicated story system. The game uses core systems from Stellaris, with some elements simplified for its Star Trek setting. The Deluxe Edition includes the base game, California-class content and uniforms, a Klingon voice pack, extra music, a downloadable soundtrack, and a 70-page art book.
