About This Game

Space Rangers HD: A War Apart remasters and expands the world of the cult classic Space Rangers 2. 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.

Key Features:

New pirate subplot. After completing any one of the story branches a player can either end the game, or continue playing to complete another branch. the player’s actions influence the entire Galaxy, while the balance in either of wars may be tipped not only by the player, but by AI actions as well. No two playthroughs will be the same.
Major technical overhaul. Display resolutions up to 1920×1200, multi-core processors, Windows® 7, and anti-aliasing in 3D planetary battles are now fully supported.
Extended soundtrack means you’ll hear more than 15 completely new musical themes specially created for deeper immersion into the amazing Space Rangers universe.
Other improvements include more than 10 new text adventures, 15+ planetary battle maps, 20+ government missions, unique non-story events, new equipment and micromodules, access to all hyperspace engagements from the main menu and more!

[i]Space Rangers HD: A War Apart[/i], eski usul bir bilim kurgu oyununun güncellenmiş versiyonu. Ama bu oyun öyle sıradan bir “uzay gemisi sür – düşmanı vur” oyunu değil; adeta her şeyi içine atmış bir oyun sandığı: strateji, ticaret, RPG, uzay savaşı, metin tabanlı görevler… Ne ararsan var. [h2]🎮 Oynanış[/h2] Bir gün korsanlarla savaşıyor, ertesi gün ticaretle uğraşıyor, sonra bir bakmışsın metin tabanlı bir mini macerada kararlar veriyorsun. Kimi zaman RTS’ye kayan, kimi zaman RPG gibi hissettiren bu yapı, oyunu inanılmaz çeşitli kılıyor. HD sürümü ile birlikte arayüz iyileştirmeleri, yeni görevler ve daha temiz görseller geliyor. [h2]⚔️ Zorluk ve Derinlik[/h2] Bu oyun kolay lokma değil. Başlangıçta “uzayda biraz takılayım” diye giriyorsun, sonra ekonomi çöküyor, korsanlar her yeri sarıyor, düşmanlar teknolojik olarak seni eziyor. Öğrenme eğrisi dik, ama alışınca kendine has bir bağımlılık y...

This was one of my favourite games growing up. Space Rangers 2 hooked me like few other games could. Between the music, the writing, the sense of humour, the charm, and the world, it was an experience unlike many others. It might be the single most played game in my life, and it's an absolute joy to have it in my steam library. I haven't had the chance to sit down and play it here yet, but I always think back on my time with it. Absolutely recommended. A phenomenal experience.

Masterpiece my childhood was all day with space ranger from trying to hide from the alien to sneak into the planet that are in war, everything is so real from how npc react to world event and yes i enjoy text based event so much. Once you understand how the world in space ranger work, it’s just a mind blowing journey waiting for you.
