WOW! Fantastic game!! Just finished the main story missions. You can keep playing 4ever, but I need a break, haha. This game is a masterpiece of TD. Very creative and challenging. Allows you a good variety of weapons/defense to experiment & plan your strategy(s). The 1st system basically teaches you the concepts of the game. The 2nd system teaches you how to survive as the difficulty ramps up fast. The 3rd system allows you to develop a good working strategy going forward as that's where the best weapons etc. come to an end. Play it thoroughly as you'll need it in.... The 4th system is where your so-called strategy is proven good or not. The pace can really pick-up halfway through each run as more and more enemies appear. Each new system introduces new&tougher enemies to keep it fresh. The colorful characters you meet offer new and challenging cargo to carry. Keeps you on your toes !! Before you move on to the next system, max out your components in that system as you can't take them with you. i.e., buy as many weapons etc. as you can. Determine what you like&need and buy those. They always stay with you and will come a time where too many isn't enough. Somewhere in the 3rd system I stopped using a lot of early weaponry as the more powerful ones made them obsolete. Oh yehh, don't waste money buying a lot of ships. You'll get some as rewards and eventually you'll find a certain type meets your needs. I think I bought 2 ships, each 1 similar to my last but with more cells. The ship I used for the last half of the game had 128 cells. You'll need them. Focus on buying more cells for your end ship. Don't waste money/components on too many cells early as you'll just be getting a bigger ship later. Ok, Good Luck & Enjoy !!! yeehaww, I finished the game ;)

I'm writing this solely because I am shocked that the reviews are mixed. It may be a rather difficult game at times, but the satisfaction of completing a difficult mission becomes oh so greater. It's simply a fun game to play, however, in offline play, it may get repetative, i.e. the replayability may not be all that great. You may take this with a grain of salt if you'd like, since it's been a while since I've played the game, but all in all it is an enjoyable experience and worth the money. My only complaint is that it is too short. I hope they make a sequel.

Play Time: 20hrs Achievements: 15 of 30 Date: 11/28/2024 Rating: 6 ¾ Space Run Galaxy is a mixed bag. The game is complicated...... or should I say difficult. It is very much a Spaceship (Base) Defense game mixed with RTS. What I think the trailer fails to demonstrate is that your constantly moving forward in a sense, and enemies (spaceships, blob things, meteors) can come from all directions. And there is no way to know what pattern or direction they'll come from. In fact replaying the same level may change up the pattern or direction which the enemy comes from. You build “towers” onto your “base” and hope it'll work. Which brings me to a main mechanic which is travel speed, and the use of “Thrusts”. You build these engine to travel in battle with cargo. These engines can be “shut down” to produce materials. So you have to learn how to balance building these thruster engines, and when to disassemble them. Additional these engines give you energy that allow you to use “ultimate” for each “tower” you build. What is also demonstrated in the photos and trailer are fully build ships, and a maxed out “captain”. Your ship size is cap locked not based on how money you have but based on the mechanics levels and your location. So you would to grind up a bit, well you can, but understand there's going to be cap to that. I want to give you a perspective of this game by the achievement progress. “New Horizons” is the first “map” meaning at this current moment only 14.7% of people beaten the first story map. Next is the second story map with 7.1% of the player base have beaten it. And less at this moment 8.7% of the player base reached level 10... your level cap is 20. You can even create missions for real players, sell items to real players, and buy items. Because this game is older this may be a system you won't get to enjoy, as the number of players is limited. So overall is the game worth a shot, I think so especially if you get it when it's on sale. At the moment the game is $1.49USD. P.S. Servers are up, and yes they were down for I think about 1 month. PROS: Feels unique especially for the time period Story isn't terrible, at least this game has one. Unique maps Unique Weapons Achievements are achieved via playing the game, some multiplayer achievements may be difficult for achievement hunters. NEUTRAL: Difficulty: This is for those looking for a challenging you'll love this. Tower Balance: but then again I only beat the first map and a few stages of the 2nd. Felt repetitive. CONS: Ship size caps based on map location. Requires repeat farming (I think) but yet you can't grind to increase ship sizes to max, until much later in the game.

I'm gonna give this a grudging thumbs up, but mostly for the love of the first game which was brilliant. The core gameplay is still brilliant, but there's a cumbersome, extremely grindy layer above it which requires you to manage stacks of resources, grind out unlocks (and boy it doesn't feel like you're making much progress at all from pretty early on), and there is some asynchronous multiplayer where I can pay other players to haul my unmanaged stacks of resources, but ... mehhh... I'm not gonna wait a week and incentivise some poor sod to grind even more because of me. tl;dr: play the first one first.

It has it flaws, mainly having to grind usually the same mission over and over to get materials so you can make the components you need, making it a bit grindy, but despite that I would highly recommend it, the gameplay is still pretty much the same as in the first game, which is a really good thing as the gameplay was already amazing. So if you can get past the grindy nature of the crafting it's a very solid experience overall.
