Space Rangers 2 didn't have a huge worldwide marketing campaign, but became an instant classic in many countries. Read below to find out why and discover this game for yourself.

Like its [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/space_rangers]predecessor, Space Rangers 2 combines multiple gameplay modes - even more than the original, in fact. You've got 2D space flight and combat with an active pause feature. Battles on planets' surfaces are played in 3D, using real-time strategy mechanics, but you can jump into the fight and directly control one of the units in third-person shooter mode. Then you've got adventure elements and RPG-like character progression.

Finally, the game is completely open-ended. The universe seems alive with ships flying about on their errands and a huge war developing somewhere on the fringes. You can even ignore the conflict around which the game's story is centered, but it will catch up to you eventually. Trade prices are determined by supply and demand, and of course random events like diseases. Whether or not you get missions is based on your standing with the different races...

Overall, Space Rangers 2, although not widely known, is an exceptional, complex game that you simply must try out.
