Space Rangers series

[Xenich]

Did a site search, didn't see much anything mentioned about this (its fairly old), though I am sure some of you have messed with it over the years. I just wanted to throw this game out there because for some reason, it is one of those games that stuck with me over the years as being quite amazing due to its multiple system style play.



It covers just about every game play genre from 4x, Complete RTS engine for some missions, Text based adventure, space sim management and trade, and even some arcade style portions.

Game is generated each new game setup, so its replay ability is very high.

My favorite is the text adventure portions as most of them have game play elements that are strategies, not solutions so each time you play them again, you have to apply a method of approach and properly manage the conditions or you will still fail them (some can be very difficult).

The overall base play looks like it is action, but it is done based on movement turns in play (the videos just make it look like it is full action).

The game went through several releases, but overall it was just the same game improved, revamped, etc... over the years. Again, amazing game if you find any of this style of play interesting.

space rangers 2 is pretty good despite the retarded level scaling

Yeah, I think the broad spectrum of genres save it a bit on that note. If it were a game centered around that aspect only, it would certainly suffer greatly.

This is one of those games that has influenced several titles I love, but due to its aesthetic, I could never really get into sadly.

That's too bad, it really is a quite addictive and has a lot of depth of play if you can get into it.

I hated the RTS sections, but otherwise it's a fantastic game

the RTS segment is the only weak link in Space Rangers 2 besides the pirates having completely messed up balancing (which may or may have not been patched recently)

you can just outright skip the RTS segments by telling the guy offering the RTS tutorial to you to never offer RTS quests again

[Xenich]

For those who don't like the changes they made in the War Apart remake with the pirates and the like, you can still get the Space Rangers: Reboot Dominators pak if you search for it as abandonware. It contains the 1st/2nd reboots of them).

Honesty, I never found the RTS section that bad, but I probably wasn't also playing it as an RTS, but rather, as a kind of budget Mechwarrior. I'd just build my favored super-mech, a support troupe to go with it, and then manually drive it to snipe my enemies.
