Star Trek: Infinite doesn’t shy away from challenging us as we shape the destinies of its factions and, when push comes to shove, one might wonder if console commands and cheats might be part of the game, waiting patiently to lend a helping hand.
Built using the Clausewitz engine, which powers Paradox Interactive’s other grand strategy games, Star Trek: Infinite does, indeed, launch with a suite of console commands that can be handy when we need to lessen the blow of an enemy attack, grant a much-needed boost to our economy, and more.
