Space Ranger "Lite" - first impressions
Space rangers 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. It was a big step up from the first installment: it was a blend of several different types of games - text adventure, trading, turn based space-combat, RTS stages, delivery jobs, RPG, and so on. Years later "A War Apart" came out. It was basically the same game but now in HD, with some updated content and a lot more bugs. I Wasn't crazy about it. I was waiting for the next true SR game. One that will be another step up from SR2. "Quest" is not the game I was waiting for. I'd call it "Space Rangers Lite", for it is a bare bones version of the game: it's all about text adventures. They cut all other aspects that made previous titles great, and ever worse, they removed what made SR truly great: a living, breathing universe, with miriads of other pilots flying all across the systems, going on about their business (which the program took note of, just as your progress). Essentially, this is a cellphone game, and yes, it came out on cellphones as well (the only difference I can see between them at the moment is that the android version has fewer music tracks). Even the combat is text based, and there doesn't seem to be any trading whatsoever (why am I able to chose being a merchant then). All you can see during the whole game is your own ship - it feels very lonely and dull (it's in 3D and you can fly around it for no reason). Saving your game is weird: it happens automatically, which is good, but you can save manually as well between quests- to 1 save slot... The Text quest themselves are okay, they're funny, and quite challenging (some of them in somewhat broken English). As with old text based games, you should keep a notebook handy, it'll help out a lot. So far this game seems to be letdown for me. I hvae to repeat what I said in my "Knights of pen and paper" review: there are better options on PC. If you haven't played any of the space ranger games, "A War Apart" should be your pick.
Hilft dir das weiter?
