The Space Game is an elegant & fun simplified real-time strategy game where you need build an asteroid mining network and defend it from waves of attacking space pirates. You need to balance your power requirements (build more solar panels) vs your mining operation (more miners) vs your defenses (lasers / THELs or missiles?). And if you take too long things start to get impossible! A superbly balanced and entertaining 'abstract' RTS that everyone should enjoy – get building!
Our Rating: 4.5 / 5
Quoting a jayisgames.com review: The Space Game is set in the vast reaches of Canada, oh wait I mean SPACE, where there await fields of mineral-rich asteroids, ripe for exploitation.
However it seems that the best asteroid belts lie within pirate territory, and they love nothing more than to crack open space miners' skulls and feast on their space brains.
A RTS that is a cross between Harvest Massive Encounter and Vector TD!
Play the tutorials and work your way through the missions before taking on the mining and survival modes. If all else fails, check out youtube (search for 'the space game') to find some guides.
