Space Run – Trucker Trekking Fun

Posted on August 31, 2016 at 5:58 pm

Released in 2014, Space Run is a tower defence game by Passtech Games. It focuses on tower placement, actions per minute and trial and error, all of which comes across as a very traditional tower defence style game reminiscent of the old Warcraft custom maps like Element TD.

This is both to its strength and to its weakness. The game focuses on trial and error, which is considered now to be an archaic design choice. But if you can stick through it, there is great satisfaction in getting a tower placement just right and blasting through a level at literal warp speed. It gives a solid feeling of ‘yeah, I beat that level’.

However, this leaves little replay value. Once all the missions are completed, there’s really no reason to do them again except to ace them score-wise. Which isn’t a bad thing, once a game is finished its finished right?
