94/100

Space Marshals 2 is a masterclass in tactical top-down shooting. It perfectly blends the sci-fi and western aesthetics, and the gameplay is so much more than just 'run and gun'. Stealth is actually viable and often the smarter way to play—sneaking around and performing silent takedowns feels incredibly satisfying.

The variety of weapons and gadgets is impressive. Deciding between a silenced pistol or a heavy shotgun, and which grenades to bring, adds a great layer of pre-mission strategy. The graphics are some of the best in its genre, with beautiful environments and lighting. It’s a polished, engaging, and premium feeling action game.

Dinsun Review

Now this is a proper video game. Space Marshals 2 doesn't treat you like a child or a walking wallet. It’s a tactical shooter where if you run into a room full of enemies, you die. That's how it should be. The cover mechanics are intuitive, and the stealth system actually works, allowing you to thin the herd before things get messy.

The visuals are crisp—some of the best you'll see on a tablet—and the 'Space Western' vibe is executed with genuine style. It’s a premium title through and through. My only real complaint is that it’s over too soon, and some of the later missions can be a bit of a slog if you don't have the right gear. If you have any respect for the tactical shooter genre, you buy this.

    The sci-fi wild west adventure in outer space continues with Space Marshals 2. This tactical top-down shooter puts you in the shoes of specialist Burton in his struggle against the criminal elements of the galaxy.

    This isn’t your ordinary dual-stick shooter. The emphasis is on tactical combat and stealth, rather than just spraying bullets, and there’s a story!

    TACTICAL COMBAT

    Use the environment to your advantage. Avoid attacks by taking cover. Flank enemies for extra efficiency, but avoid getting flanked yourself! Use the tools of the trade to gain an edge - frag grenades, flash bangs, drones, gun turrets, proximity mines and much more…

    STEALTH

    Choose your approach carefully. Some say running into the fray, guns blazing, isn’t always the answer. Use distractions to single out opponents. Use stealth takedowns and silenced weapons to covertly reduce the enemy numbers. Hack gun turrets to turn on their masters. Lure different enemy factions together and let them fight each other.

    LOAD-OUT & GEAR

    Choosing your load-out is a big part of your tactics. In addition to body armor and grenades you can carry one two-handed and one single-handed weapon - and there’s something for everyone. Shotguns, handguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, crossbows, energy weapons, throwing axes and more.

    Q&A

    No, it is a premium-style game (often free-to-start) where gear is unlocked by completing missions with high ratings rather than through microtransactions.
