What is Space Rangers (Series)?

Space Rangers is a series of space simulation and role-playing video games developed by the Russian studio Elemental Games and published by 1C Company. The series currently consists of three main games:

• Space Rangers (2002)
• Space Rangers 2: Rise of the Dominators (2004)
• Space Rangers HD: A War Apart (2013)

The games blend real-time strategy, turn-based tactical combat, text-based interactive fiction and space simulation across a branching, non-linear storyline set in a futuristic version of our galaxy. Players take on the role of a Space Ranger working to maintain peace and order while dealing with threats like pirates, alien dominators and robotic Berserkers.

Gameplay involves exploring star systems, engaging in turn-based battles, undertaking missions, trading goods across the galaxy and making decisions that impact planets and entire civilizations. The games have been praised for their innovative fusion of genres and the expansive, reactive worlds they create that lead to emergent narratives for each player.

While lesser known than many western RPG franchises, the Space Rangers series has built up a devoted cult following in Eastern Europe and Russia especially for the unique gameplay style and sandbox structure of its expansive sci-fi universe.
