Nowhere near as good as the absolutely brilliant Space Rangers HD: A War Apart. The developers of this game took out all of the great open world parts of the first game and replaced it with a dumbed down version that does the first game no justice whatsoever. It took about ten minutes of playing for me to realise this, but I was hoping for some kind of improvement after the tutorial section. Alas - no. For some …

EDIT: I loved the previous games.. If i had read description i would know this was not for me as it is only text quests.. I recomend this for people who want to play that kind of game Long time since i was so disapointed in a game.. Buy "Space rangers HD a war apart" instead.. This is far from what you expect after playing that.. Seriously the biggest letdown in gaming i have ever experienced... Im going to try to …

Space Rangers: Quest improves upon the formula of Space Rangers HD: A War Apart by cutting out tedious filler, such as the worst RTS ever designed, the boring STG and the poorly implemented TPS, instead focusing on the best aspect of that game: the text adventures. Sadly, these seem to have been shortened and dumbed down somewhat, with the side quests being more self-contained. However, these simplification have …

Space Rangers: Quest is a somewhat-funny text adventure game that has more in common with Zork than Trade Wars 2000, even though on the surface it is about flying a ship to explore the galaxy. Rather than having the main focus of the game be trading/fighting/salvaging/upgrading, the game is primarily about little "choose your own adventure" sequences (called "quests" in this game) that you find in each solar system …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Continuing the 'too many genres' theme with Space Rangers HD. Originally released in 2004 and still being updated today A turn-based tactical sandbox space RPG. Also 3D action RTS. And an arcade shooter. And several text adventures & management game, and NPC heroes can win the game if you slack off
neutral · AI labelView post →Another one-off oddball game. Space Rangers HD is ALL of the genres. It's 2D turn-based space exploration & combat, a 3D action-RTS where you can directly control units, multiple multi-choice text adventures and sometimes an arcade arena shooter Also so dynamic that NPCs can complete the main story
neutral · AI labelView post →Rigged luck-based waste of time wrapped in a thin layer of bs plot. Not worth the bother even for free.

Space Rangers 2 by Denis Liganov and Vasily Shestovets et al, vocals by Xenia Larionova This Russian space trading game is often compared to Star Control II, and with good reason - it's absolutely awesome! The music is excellent as well.

negative · AI labelView post →Did you know that the "Climbing the Old Tower" section of the game was sto... influenced by a particular text quest from "Space Rangers 2"? Here's the video of how it looks (I don't know who is this guy, I chose this playthrough simply as a demonstration): youtu.be/ySjWHmcg6ak?...
neutral · AI labelView post →A game with a title that’s almost criminally generic: Space Rangers 2 A game with such depth, such far reaching consequences for your actions, a world that would march on whether you liked it or not. Ah, good times.
positive · AI labelView post →I did not like. There were very good quests, but overall not my kind of content. Sometimes there is a bug that you almost completed the quest, and then there is no dialogue and you need to replay it, but with a completely similar choice, dialogue appears - for example, escaping from judges with prisoners. The achievements are not fun and count strangely, so you need to grind.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First and foremost, if you don't enjoy text adventure games, this game is not for you. Even if you're a fan of Space Rangers. Watching science fiction shows as a kid, I always dreamt of being aboard a starship "to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations". Despite its low production value, the Space Rangers series does an amazing job at approximating that, immersing me in the role of this galactic vagabond, contracting with these massive alien civilizations in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a text based quest game, sort of an extract of the games side quests. Honestly, just like the games side quests, it is somewhat terrible. Nonsense quests that are there just to fill the time and most of it insanely hard. In the main game its ok because you can ignore it. But when it's a standalone, it's terrible. I was expecting better but it's just the same old trash.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very Funny. Better than I expected.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Meanwhile, I'm over here playing Space Rangers HD like its 2013
positive · AI labelView post →I wonder whether #GTA6 is going to tone down the social commentary. A lot of their core audience would go ballistic now if the game had Republican Space Rangers levels of satirizing conservatives. #GTAVI
neutral · AI labelView post →Text-based adventure game, meaning not much to do, just read, and make some choices. I got bored during the tutorial, and it didn't get better after the "game" started.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thinking about Space Rangers for some reason Space Rangers fantastic game just needs to work on writing, faction balance, translations, quest repetition, late game slog, soft locks, rts mechanics, UI, not crashing, and blatant sexism

neutral · AI labelView post →The game does let you just sit down in front of the TV and watch it if you want. I like Republican Space Rangers myself.
positive · AI labelView post →First of all, I highly recommend Space Rangers HD: A War Apart store.steampowered.com/app/214730/S... It's a remake of Space Rangers 2, game from an old era of Russian game dev industry, made in 2004. It's a turn-based RPG space sim, and it's something you probably never played before. 2/8
positive · AI labelView post →I believe a "FUCK YEAH, SPACE RANGERS 2!" is in order. I love that damn game, it's deeply flawed, but has so many different things going on, it makes it a fever dream. It's legitimately in my "Top 10 Games Ever" list.
positive · AI labelView post →Agree with Zoey. The Last Of Us & Uncharted also sounded boring. For example: Space Rangers 2, a name so bland it oughta be a god damn crime, but it's a really fun & ambitious eurojank game that delivers more than it should be capable of. Names are names, we get used to them if the game is good.
positive · AI labelView post →1. Space Rangers 2: Dominators One of my favorite games of all time, and also one of the only games ever made to pull off a world that actually feels ALIVE. Every single ship and interaction is simulated and perpetually kept track of, to the point that sometimes, the game can straight up win itself
positive · AI labelView post →This game has more in common with those solo roleplaying game books from the 80's and 90's than a modern computer game. If you want to play something like Lone Wolf in outer space, you can't really do any better than this. I own the Space Rangers games, but I haven't played them very much. So, unlike some of the negative reviews I'm not comparing this to those games. But I think this one is good for what it's trying to do. If there were some changes I would make, it would be to port the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Totally recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the type of game where you find a fascinating object on your radar screen and then you sneeze and realize the "fascinating object" was a cookie crumb on the screen. It's also the type of game where the first "real" quest you get can be repeated endlessly to get endless credits. And maybe I'm dumb but the description of the situation in the quest made no sense to me. I think that if they had presented it visually it would have much more sense, but since everything in this game is…

And yes, the rose in her hand is a reference to the delivery quest where it turns out that she gifted that rose to the protagonist. #Mayternity

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm not sure what to say about this game yet, I like the style and mechanics but some of the quests are very heavy in text and reading...I'll update this review after a few more hours. Currently the amount of text feels overwhelming, but we'll see if this persists or not.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Space Rangers: Quest is a narrative-focused science-fiction adventure developed by SNK Games and published by Fulqrum Publishing that deliberately narrows the scope of the long-running Space Rangers series to its most literary component. Instead of the hybrid sandbox of trading, strategy, combat, and quests that defined earlier entries, this title reframes the universe as a pure text-driven experience. The result is a game that reads more like a digital choose-your-own-adventure book than a…

positive · AI labelView post →For me even CP2077 and FNV miss that "you can live in there" part because theycre so defined by their main story. Bethesda games have worlds that happen to have storylines in them and are closer to Pirates! or Space Rangers than to a game like FNV where all revolves around the main quest.
