    Not outstanding - but slightly above average.

    Space Run Galaxy offers Space Run with "more" of what Space Run offered. - But nothing really different. Although - to be fair - it offers a sort of endless roaming mode instead of the strict and linear campaign of part one.

    I would have wished for turret AI (like attack strongest/weakest/most health/least health etc.) because most of the frustration i had with the game came from the fact that my turrets seem to actively work against me - instead of my setup being too bad.

    Other than that - if you liked Space Run - you will also like Space Run Galaxy. If not - well... then you will most likely not like Galaxy - as easy as that.    … Expand

    The game is not hard as others have suggested, but you need to buy only what you need, otherwise you need to replay routes to earn more.
    It's all about utilizing upgrade modules, engines, and modules' ability. But it does get repetitive fast.

    This game is about running a cargo delivery service through the galaxy and having to defend your ship while doing so. As you progress through a run you receive coins for killing things so as to add defenses to you ship modules, upon completion of a mission you will receive cash and components depending on how quickly you completed and volume of cargo left. - An addendum- I just came hereThis game is about running a cargo delivery service through the galaxy and having to defend your ship while doing so. As you progress through a run you receive coins for killing things so as to add defenses to you ship modules, upon completion of a mission you will receive cash and components depending on how quickly you completed and volume of cargo left. - An addendum- I just came here to check on the reviews to this game and lower my review score after my last play of this game, and Im forced into raising the score via non interruptible page options; I had heard of meta critic fixing scores in favor of games, just never though it would manipulate the software. This game get an official zero for that reason.

    This game is fun in concept, the idea of open ended exploration is always a positive; its not so open ended, which can be negated through game play but the game play here is stiff, the missions are prohibitively hard soon into the game.

    -great concept, good game play; persistence in the game environment is a great improvement over the previous game.

    - the missions in this suffer unreasonable and unwinnable spikes, there some RNG and a lot of scripted bull situations in there, its a drawback both to the gameplay and to the enjoyment.

    I wont say anything else on the game as I believe that this is a game that you will like or not like.    … Expand

    Every time I gave Space Run Galaxy a chance, I got tired of it after a couple dozen minutes. [09/2016, p.65]

    When you skip plethora of AAA games to spend your free time playing a small indie title, you know how good the experience is. Space Run Galaxy is just that - a simple, yet slick game, perfect little "time waster".

    Space Run Galaxy captured me in the very beginning. But too soon the missing depth in this interesting tower defense variation took its toll. It just doesn’t live up to its potential.
