The game is developed by the SNK-Games team in close cooperation with fans of the series.The biggest of the improved features is a new scenario dedicated to the pirates threatening the galaxy. While the Coalition spends all of its resources to fight the Dominators (sentient machines who seek to eradicate all life), the pirates have united under the banner of a mysterious leader. Under this new master they have begun their own guerrilla war to seize power in the weakened Galaxy.
Players can now choose with whom to deal, the Dominators or the pirates, or both at the same time. If you choose the latter path, you will receive new story and side quests, new goals and promotions. After winning one of the wars, you can either finish the game or continue playing to win another.Players begin their pirate career as the lowest of the low, and will make their way to the top of the pirate hierarchy, completing story missions and learning new information about the organization and its unknown leader whose actions threaten the very existence of the Coalition of sentient species. All player actions affect what kind of place the Galaxy will be at the end, with the victorious Coalition that managed to overcome its enemies or with a collapsed alliance from both external Dominator and internal pirate pressures.The game has received a major technical overhaul in addition to the addition of new content. All of the main menu, loading screens, planet and space station vistas were reworked.
Now you can choose a display resolution of up to 1920×1200 and planetary battles employ modern render technologies.SCREENSHOT.
Pretty Menu!Back in the mid 2000s, Space Rangers 2: Dominators — created by Russian-based Elemental Games — surprised many gamers by not only existing at all — I mean, space games were about as close to death at that point as you could get — but also by taking the traditional formula for open space games and turning it on its ear. Using a turn-based, top-down approach to much of its gameplay, mixing in several types of minigames and typically being awesome, Space Rangers 2 found its way to many a gamer’s hard drive. Fast Forward nearly ten years, and we have a re-release of the sequel called Space Rangers HD: A War Apart.
This new version brings several new features to the table, and this review will cover those new features as well as the gameplay itself, and how well it’s held up over the last decade (or hasn’t). Every Game Begins HereLet’s start with the basics for those new to the series. Space Rangers HD (and basically all of the SR games before it) is basically a space-based role playing game with four styles of gameplay under one roof, as it were.
The bulk of the game is the space combat/trading/mission running portion of the game, wherein you will move your character and their ship to different planets and bases, buying and selling cargo, engaging in missions and basically getting into all kinds of trouble. The game also has a a real-time strategy portion with robots, text adventures and arcade shootery bits if your ship happens to fall down a black hole.
Fortunately, much of these other bits are optional (I say much because I took a mission that ended up being a text-based adventure without being aware of it), so if you want to focus mostly on space-based stuff, you can do that.The center of the game is your character. The game offers five different races and five types of careers upon which to start. This gives players a wide variety of choice on how to begin their game. If, for example, I chose to be a Maloq Mercenary, I might have a great ship but two of the other races might hate me, which causes its own problems.
Carefully take 1 step to get onto them and then stand still until you reach the other side. Character AssassinationDestroy all of the planet models in Drek’s office.This can be done on the map “Deplanetizer”. You can stand on them and they will very slowly transport you to the other side. Ratchet and clank all 4 one ryno holocards locations california.
This was one of the first characters I chose, actually, because in games like this I like to focus on running missions more than anything else. Regardless, you can choose to be a merchant, a pirate, a mercenary and so on, and the different races give you reputation bonuses with your own race as well. When creating a character, you can also choose some extra pieces of starting equipment (one of which should always be a missile launcher).;) Once you’ve chosen your character, it’s time to enter the universe!! A Galaxy is BornWhenever you start a new game, a new galaxy and all of its inhabitants are randomly generated, meaning you’ll start in a different little corner each time.
While all of the races know the layout of other sectors — and gleefully sell you starmaps of them for a profit — you start the game with very little knowledge of your surrounding area. From here, what you do is entirely up to you. Oh sure, you might’ve created a character to be a warrior, but you don’t have to rush into battle if you don’t want to. One of the beauties of this game is that, as a Ranger, you can basically do whatever the heck you want to do, but you’ll have consequences of your actions, good and bad. My New Favorite Character!Once you find a character that fits your play style, however, the game clicks much more quickly than it might otherwise. I went through several iterations of character, including a Fei warrior and a Maloq mercenary, before settling in on the character that just completely fit my playstyle, a Fei merchant.
This meant that, sure, I couldn’t take on Dominators right away, but I didn’t want to anyway because OMG THEY SCARY AND BLOW ME UP REAL GOOD REAL QUICK. This also gave me a ship with a big enough cargo hold to encourage trading, to which I grabbed onto tightly and still haven’t let go. Finally Got a MissionIf you’re new to the game, let me explain how a typical session can go (experienced players can skip this bit).
Let’s say you get a government mission from planet A. Said mission is to go find a person who apparently ruined the planet’s power grid, and teach them a lesson. You use the AMAZING search functionality (it can find anything, seriously, commodities, other ships, you name it) to zero in on your prey and find he’s several systems away. Once you arrive in said system, you land on a planet, then find out he’s on ANOTHER planet in the system, so you head there to find him arrested. Missions have a time limit, and you can’t wait around for him to get out, so you pay to have him released.
Once he takes off, you follow him for a day or two then immediately open fire. If you do enough damage, he’ll contact you and offer to pay you a paltry fee to leave you alone, but you refuse, shooting and shooting until he’s good and dead. Then you land, fuel up, repair, then look at the prices on the planet the mission originated from (to which you have go to in order to get your sum. You see that luxuries are being bought for a higher price than they’re being sold on your current planet, so you load up all your free space with them (or whatever you can afford, of course), then head back to the original planet, complete your mission and sell your cargo. That’s just one way it could go down, too. A Kid in a Candy StoreHandling all of this spacey planetey stuff is fairly simple, thanks to a clean interface and generous pop up windows.
Just about everything is point and click simplicity (except for the hyperspace arcade sections, which use arrow keys to move your ship around) and everything has a hotkey associated with it to make things even easier. This helps new players and experienced players alike navigate the various portions of the game, from buying new equipment to commodities, to landing on planets and jumping to other solar systems. Once the game clicks, you will never run out of things to do, even if you’re just trading money to get that sexy new gripper you want.;). Piiiiirates!Now if you’re an experienced player of Space Rangers 2, you’ll be wondering what’s different this time around.
I have to admit, it’s been aaaaaaaages since I played SR2, and even then most of my games were basically starting games in which I’d try out a character for a little while, so my knowledge of the original game is honestly a bit fuzzy. That said, there were several things I noticed right away that were new this time out, the first being the graphics. Now, the last game had a max resolution of 800×600, which even in 2004 was just toooootally crazy, but it worked I suppose. The new game supports resolutions up to 1920×1200.
You might be wondering why all my screenshots are 1280×1024 then.;) That’s because I have an old 4:3 monitor, but I plan to upgrade to a new one soon.;) That said, even in my “limited” resolution, the graphics are much crisper than they were previously, and everything has a sharpness and color that makes the game even more eye-popping than before. RTS Minigame. Bleh.Even the much-maligned RTS minigame — which apparently most folks don’t like, but thankfully can be completely skipped — looks a lot sharper. The game also supports multi-core processors, which means even with a ton of ships on screen, the game never slows down as it did with the previous game on my last system. As for in-game changes, there are apparently more text adventures and such, but I’ve only seen a few so I can’t tell if they were new.
Also, I’m not sure if this was in Reboot — the expansion that came out in 2007 — but I also noticed that there was now special equipment that had extra stats such as +10 to speed or -1 to scanning range in exchange for more range or power. This was pretty dang cool, and I’m still having a blast outfitting my ship. Pirates Again!The biiiiiiiiiig change, however, is the improvement to piracy in the game. Whereas before, if I’m remembering correctly, pirates were something of an unorganized menace that would bother you piecemeal based on your reputation with individual pirates rather than with pirate factions. Now, however, the pirates are getting organized, and can attack and conquer entire systems, which usually plunges the system into anarchy (which can have an awesome or awful effect on commodity prices;).
Whereas before I’d recall seeing a lone pirate or too bothering a transport or contacting me to say “this is a robbery”, basically. Now, however, upon entering a besieged system, you can see whole swarms of pirates attacking system traffic, which is fairly frightening no matter which side of the conflict you fall upon. All That Floaty Stuff Used To Be MeThe benefit to this is, while lower level players like myself can find battles with Dominators almost always fatal, battles with pirates can be a little more fair, allowing a lower level pilot to begin getting more kills earlier in the game. While killing pirates don’t give the experience or research bonuses of killing Dominators (you can take bits of Dominators to research stations to help with their studies), it adds more spice to the earlier part of the game, since a system overrun with pirates isn’t an immediate death sentence, nor is that system ground to a halt.
Pirate-run systems still engage in trade and the like, making pirates another fun layer to the game. Apparently you can also switch sides and join the pirates (if you’re in the coalition, of which the Rangers are part of) or the coalition (if you start as a pirate). I didn’t do this myself, but I saw a Steam achievement that rewards several side switches, so I know it’s possible.;). I’m Diseased! Diseased I Tell You!This review is kind of all over the place, but honestly, in my several hours of play in Space Rangers HD, I felt like my game was all over the place. One moment I’d be doing some trading, then next falling through a black hole to do some hyperspace arcade battle (which is fun), the next doing a planetary text adventure (which I enjoyed, but wish I could save during), the next chasing down the apparent innocent vessel of a race’s messiah and killing them to prevent their second coming (seriously, this was a mission I was given, and I felt badbut sure, I did it anyway). Once you find the character that works for you, and the game clicks, this game can take you just about anywhere, which is where this review is going, basically.;).
Gaining NotorietySo while I’ve not told you EVERYTHING about the game — one, because I don’t know everything and two, I don’t want to spoil the joy of discovery — I’ve tried to give you enough information to make an informed buying decision. Both new players and experienced players alike are asking, “should I buy this?”. I believe the answer to both people is an unqualified yes. For new players, this game opens up a whole new universe that is more alive than just about any other space game out there save for maybe Distant Worlds.;) For experienced players of Space Rangers 2 who enjoyed the game, I feel there’s enough new stuff with the piracy updates, the new graphics, the improved performance and other new content to totally warrant a purchase.:)So that’s my long, meandering, kinda gushy review of Space Rangers HD. I hope you’ve enjoyed it, and I hope you enjoy the gallery of screenshots I took for the review below. Thanks for reading, and enjoy the game!:)Edit: According to reader Jeffer, many of the new features I note in this review are from an expansion that was never officially released outside of Russia called Revoluton. He mentions this new HD version has even more features such as, “new weapons, secret corpus, how to play on pirate side, how to contact girls agents and etc”. I had never even heard of Revolution until today, so I apologize for any confusion this may cause.

I’ll likely do a follow up review trying to hit on more HD-specific points, but the basic message of my review still stands: Basically, this game is awesome.:) The fun continues! According to a on Quarter to Three, “Just to make clear, NO content from free mode “Revolution” used in SR HD. All innovations was created from zero, using the source code of the SR2: Reboot and our imagination:). Part of the Revolution team joined us to develop SR HD.” So there ya go.:).
Another question for you Brian, the way I understand it Space Rangers HD includes Space Ranger 2: Dominators + Space Ranger 2: Reboot with redone HD textures and such, but does it also include the officially unreleased English version Space Rangers 2: Revolution? Wiki notes, “Space rangers 2: Revolution an informal Non-commercial addition (addon) to game Space Rangers 2: Reboot” and while there is a beta of the English version for free on their forums, I never got around to trying to follow their complicated instructions to get it working for my US version.
