Space Rangers 2: Reloaded Review

ComputerGames.ro offers a review of Space Rangers 2 gold edition/reloaded/reboot, praising the relaunch of the strategy/RPG hybrid and giving it a 93/100.

The five races the Dominators are trying to crush have put aside their differences and decided to form an alliance, whose immediate result is the creation of the Space Rangers, a group of elite pilots whose goal is to annihilate the pesky aliens. Officially. Because unofficially, they have a lot of fun gathering fortunes, shiny spaceships and combat medals, in a title that although cannot be easily labeled, can also be described as a space combat and trading game, with complete freedom of movement.

The player can choose his race and job description, although the latter is more like a title that determines the initial relation with other races, and can change during the game. And because a race turned hostile towards you will no longer allow access to its planets, keeping everyone happy is something to aim for in the long run.

Considering that the Dominators are quite a difficult foe to tackle, in the beginning you will probably tend to your ship, upgrading it with a multitude of available components. We have engines, fuel tanks, radars, shields and of course, weapons. Ships can have large storage bays for transporting goods or can be equipped with extra weapon slots, but either way, I found that hunting for the best deal and the latest equipment is a pleasurable enterprise. Furthermore, we have artifacts – special items that cannot be attached to any ship, but offer a considerable boost, as well as modules that can be used to improve certain components.

A drop of RPG elements can be encountered in the pilot’s attributes (six of them), which enhance combat abilities, the amount of money you can receive or the number of wingmen you can control in combat. These can be increased with the experience gained while defeating Dominators or completing special missions
