7 Star Trek Games That Deserve HD Remasters

6. Invasion

Star Trek Invasion Star Trek: Invasion was one of the first video games to tackle t the post-DS9 era of Star Trek. Set a few months after the end of the Dominion War, the game starts off with the threat of Borg invasion, then shifts to a new threat descended from aliens that once conquered the Klingons, the Kam'Jahtae. Unlike other Star Trek games, which put you in command of a starship, Invasion revolved around fighter combat with some turret missions at specific points in the story. Invasion suffered from two weakness: the weak graphics performance and the D-pad of the PlayStation controller. For a game that required lots of maneuvering and fast flying, the D-pad was simply terrible, jerking the fighter around and making it impossible to smoothly pursue enemies. While the 1-v-1 multiplayer is quaint by today's standards, the game's cutscenes and gameplay are still fairly good by today's standards, and it's eerily prescient how the design of the game's carrier, the USS Typhon, foreshadowed the equally rugged battlestar designs from the Battlestar Galactica reboot.
