The game ending is not set and players may find a victory of either side at the end. After winning one of the wars, you can either finish the game or continue playing to win another. If you choose the latter path, you will receive new story and side quests, new goals and promotions. Players can now choose with whom to deal, the Dominators or the pirates, or both at the same time.
The biggest of the improved features in Space Rangers HD: A War Apart is a new scenario dedicated to the pirates threatening the galaxy.
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. 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.
The player finds themselves in a living, breathing world where they can engage multiple activities: fight in space and hyperspace, buy and sell goods, accomplish government missions, liberate planets from the Dominators in 3D RTS battles and complete text adventures leading to unique plot twists and rewards. Our galaxy is invaded by the Dominators, sentient machines that come under the influence of an alien technology and who seek to eradicate all life. you can't do anything for space or the menus since those parts are sprite based, and the rts mode is in 3d.Developed by the SNK-Games team in close cooperation with fans of the series, Space Rangers HD: A War Apart remasters and expands the world of the multi-genre, sci-fi cult classic Space Rangers 2 and includes all expanded content from the Space Rangers 2: Reboot expansion pack, as well as brand new content with updated HD graphics which fully utilizes modern render technologies. halfway down you will see the robot values, and look for robotresolution and change it to RobotResolution=1920,1080.
to do that go to the cfg file in the install folder. Reading the developer website forum (again using google to translate) it sounds like they are working on an unannounced multi-player game of some sort to be announced in the fall :(
Caveat this is all translation of russian forums with google so it is possible i misunderstood or the translator was confused.Īnyways it does sound like for russian players there is a fan made patch for WS out there that probably does not work on the engilsh version.Īctually now my hopes are dashed. The new company (which wanted to do single player games) then made KBL and KBAP and now it is rumored they are working on a space range 3 (single player) under a new product name since the old company owns the old product name. It sounded like the company folded after space ranger 2 because parts wanted to do multiplayer and other parts wanted to do single player version 3. Also I saw hint of a space rangers 3 in progress. Appears the game is very popular in (even today) in Russia. The threads were in russian (used google to translate) so not 100% sure on accuracy. However, there was another thread that hinted that it did not work on the english version so rather than risk a virus I decided to not try the patch. Thanks! I should note that after a lot of searching I found a patch that was said to make the russian version work in WS mode (all aspect of the game).
