There’s a lot to like about Space Run Galaxy. A sequel to the original Space Run that released just over two years ago, Space Run Galaxy takes the formula of traditional tower defence and invigorates it with a sense of urgency and a set of compelling progression systems that no other entry in the genre can currently match.
COG writes: Space Run Galaxy pits you as a glorified smuggler making runs from planet to planet as you fight off asteroids and space pirates.
In this game you are the captain of your ship. Not only that, you are a runner. A space runner actually. You come into the employ of Buck Mann, who has built up his own courier service over the past 20 years. It is your job to ferry cargo from planet to planet for various shall we say… “eccentric” characters and leaders of various corporations.
Excerpt: "2014’s Space Run was a pleasant surprise when it released two years ago, almost to the day. Space Run Galaxy is tower defense, done differently. You are on a linear track and essentially need to hold out, protecting the cargo and your own ship by the time you reach the end, but do so fast and efficiently. You’ll be building defenses and offenses in real-time as you make your way from point A to point B. It’s a game that the core gameplay works well, but some of the additions introduced in Space Run Galaxy doesn’t have me sticking around as much as I’d like."
