Recently released text Space Rangers, and I just got caught in the hands of this game... The feeling that the simplified Raiders with the property (but not entirely) textual component, but the Russian language is not, so I can recommend only fans of space games with good knowledge of English)

Prachtge game to play. If you are willing to read, the graphics you do not like (it seems to be on a Amiga game) and you don't mind clicking your mouse then this game is definitely for you! Nice skills tree, different missions and the opportunity to buy companies and earn money.

This Game is actually really fun, but it lacks the Variety after a boredom.
Unfortunately, there is not really much Equipment or Ships to buy.
The Trading System is ok and Trading as a free trader quickly brings Success.
For 10€ quite ok for the way, gamble here and there. For the serious Gamer, however, this Game has too little depth and Content.

Definitely a good Occupation, as a Minigame pretty good. Unfortunately, however, it does not take much time to reach the highest Rank. In Addition, the Map is quite small and neither the Economic Nor the Military Style of play is very elaborated. Unfortunately, the Choice of Ships is not particularly large.
Of course, it's not the greatest Game, so I'd classify it as a future Classic that you can quietly pick up for a Few Euros on a special Offer.
Even so, Smugglers V remains an impressive Example of a game emerging From Greenlight:D

Good time of the day to all gamers!
So, a little review on this game that I bought from a sense of nostalgia for the masterpiece Elite.
I Saw the possibilities of the game: the Fulfillment of numerous and never suffix missions of varying complexity and with different rewards.
The Ability to upgrade your own ship at its discretion.
To Play a role for one or another faction or profession-from a peaceful merchant to a vicious pirate.
To Be driven by various solar systems in search of adventures-do not restrain any plot frames.
Companies for the passage as such is not, but in principle it is not necessary-because the game from the beginning is stated as "the study of the vast world."
The Graphics are quite simple, but the game is stable and not crashes.
English is enough just to not have to climb into the dictionary, if there is at least a little knowledge in English.
Fights take place in the marching mode. During its turn it is possible to make at once several things-to release a rocket, to put disturbances, to shoot from a laser, to activate a ballistic computer.
In General: The game is not bad to kill time and worth the money.
I Recommend everyone who loves space simulators.
