About Space Rangers HD: A War Apart

✦ AI summary

Lead a space ranger through an expanded galaxy torn between machine invaders and a pirate uprising, with the freedom to fight one war, both, or neither while your choices reshape the entire faction balance. This remaster overhauls the classic with modern graphics, new story branches, and hundreds of additional missions that ensure no two playthroughs are identical.

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!

It sure is rather cocky to describe this game without my usual TLDR shenanigans, but I'll try it now just because. Outstanding freedom for its era, shackles be denied. Simple yet challenging multi-faced gameplay, pure fun magnified. Grippling indie stories, one of the best this side of Eurasia - the true avatar of "writing by the seat of your pants for fun", a rare union of all kinds of people for the greater good. Melodic and janky audiosymphony, clashing of classic and new. Become anything. Trade anything. Mod anything. Play anything. Read anything. Skip anything. Fight anything. Hear anything. Such is the essence of Space Rangers 2. Even HD's more contengious additions like scripted VIGENERE pirate clans won't stop the pure sandbox fun from 2004. It's a shame there's not much demand for games like this one nowadays. [h3]8,5/10[/h3]

one of my childhood favorites. this HD version includes several additions that improve upon the original release, and despite its age, it's still very playable on modern computers my main concern is the screen resolution. the game was initially designed with resolutions up to 1080p in mind, and while 1440p is supported, it can occasionally cause minor visual glitches in certain screens such as quests or uninhabited planets. however, the UI does not scale as i expected in the HD version aside from that, the game holds up surprisingly well and remains a unique role-playing game
