    Space Run Galaxy can best be described as a tower-defence game on a conveyor belt.

    Improvements on the original Space Run include new weapons and modules, but the main difference is the opening up of trading networks. The strategy part of the game is played on a galactic map with specific routes between planets. You get to choose contracts from corporations and shady groups, and you can now also accept contracts from other players or make them yourself. Unlike the first game, you get resources as well as credits as rewards for doing missions. Resources can be traded or used for crafting upgrade modules. You have to transport resources to locations where they can be used, or create a contract for another player to do it for you.

    You play as an unnamed 'spacerunner' with a female android called Evve-36 as your assistant. Buck Mann is now just your employer. All the original characters from the first game are back, including the pirate captains. You can now buy ships with different floorplans and expand the floorplans with extra hexes. Choosing which ship to use adds an extra level of strategy, as does the fact that waves of enemies and asteroids are no longer as predictable as they were before. Now they come at you from different sides in reaction to how you deploy your weapons and there is an element of randomness to it.

    All in all, an excellent and quite unique game, highly recommended, especially if you enjoy tower-defence type games. It has good voice acting, nice graphics, well-balanced gameplay, and is deeper than other games of its type. One thing to note is that it requires a persistent internet connection to play. If you lose connection, the game crashes.    … Expand

    Space Run Galaxy is a nice, sometimes not so easy, Tower-Defence style game in which you place turrets and support equipment on your configurable ship and try to transport cargo from space port to space port. On your travel you have to defend your - sometimes questionable - cargo against asteroids, space pirates and other creatures.

    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.
