I have always wanted to like space-strategy games. And tried quite a few of them! But every time, from Imperium Galactica to Master of Orion series, or more recently Sword of the Stars, I inevitably ended bored, frustrated and with the feeling of doing some tedious chore. A real shame, because the idea and scope of this kind of games are so appealing!

But... Hurray! Space Rangers 2 and its incredibly smooth, logical, imaginative, rich and intelligent gameplay finally made my (little) dream come true. This game takes the chores out of the concept of space-strategy games, and even let you decide what kind of gameplay orientation your experience will take (commercial, action, simplified real-time strategy...).
Impressive, funny, and easy to play. Probably too easy for the dedicated strategy player, though.

Now, is Space Ranger a RPG game? No. It is not. But it adds to a technical genre some elements of RPG which open this kind of strategy game to a new audience... And thanks so much for that!
