In 2004, a game was released combining many genres, namely, “Space Rangers 2”. Codes for this project are able to equip the character with all the necessary materials and arm to the teeth. More details about this game will be discussed in the article.
A bit of history
The project was implemented in 2004 by the Russian studio Elemental Games, distributed under the auspices of the publisher 1C, whose logo could often be found on disks from the beginning of the 2000s.
The game was created by a small group of enthusiasts without any advertising campaign . All positive reviews on various forums were left by players who accidentally bought the game in the store.
From 1999 to 2005, the developers worked together, but then their views on the development of a joint gaming industry diverged. As a result, one of the creators broke away, created the company Katauri Interactive and left for Kaliningrad.
Since until 2011 no one was seriously involved in the game, all rights went to 1C. All add-ons , additions, and cheat codes for Space Rangers 2 were written by fans. As a result, the franchise owner made an effort to establish contact with a group of fans and attract them to work on any continuation of the series.
As a result, 1 C managed to launch the Space Rangers 2: Revolution project in 2013. Codes, cheats and other tricks have not gone anywhere and are still in the public domain.
Plot
The essence of the game is that there are many cosmic races, each of which has certain character traits:
- Maloki are excellent warriors, but they do not differ in their special intelligence. They are friends with pirates, as they are very useful in battle.
- Bearings are tricky and quirky amphibians with four arms. Often traded in space piracy.
- Gaalians are peace - loving philosophers and art historians. They try to stay away from any military conflicts.
- Faeyans are a race of scientists . They are characterized by purple skin, and they are hermaphrodites. But if anyone comes up with advanced weapons for the first time, then it is with the feyans .
- Humans are the kind of creature that has succeeded equally in both war and politics, economics and diplomacy.
All these organic civilizations were faced with a threat that managed to rally them together - the invasion of the Dominators, who decided to destroy the above alliance.
Secret codes
The game " Space Rangers 2 " corresponds to the genres of RPG, turn-based strategy, quest, real-time strategy, as well as action .
This quintessence gives an inexhaustible opportunity to create all kinds of modmakers , add-ons and other sophisticated programmers.
To enter codes in " Space Rangers 2 " , you do not need to press the " tilde " key, as many are already used to. Commands just need to be entered in the right place. A rare gamer uses absolutely all the teams. Usually a gentleman's set includes 5 or 6, or even less.
To activate, you need to install version 1.6. This happens through the installation of a fan patch that upgrades Space Rangers 2: Dominators. The codes commonly used are the following:
- CTRL + SHIFT + gun - the last word is simply blindly typed on the keyboard, it is not displayed anywhere. The effect of the code is simple - all guns are added one at a time.
- CTRL + SHIFT + device - a set of good equipment.
- CTRL + SHIFT + showmap - the command allows you to open the entire map of the Galaxy.
- CTRL + SHIFT + god - God mode is activated. The player becomes invulnerable.
This is the standard set for any gamer who wants to complete the game without much stress . Just to kill time.
"Revolution"
As already mentioned, the developers curtailed the project because of internal disagreements. Because the addon " Revolution " is completely the fruit of the joint work of a group of fans and 1C.
At the same time, we must pay tribute to these enthusiasts , because new codes for Space Rangers 2: Revolution have also appeared. Popular are:
- CTRL + SHIFT + piratecall - the command allows you to call space pirates into the system.
- CTRL + SHIFT + expa - adds to the player a million million experience points that need to be somehow distributed. That is, instant pumping to a high level is provided.
- CTRL + SHIFT + warriormax - all systems belonging to the Alliance begin immediate production of warships.
Of course, these are far from all codes of “ Space Rangers 2 ” . More detailed lists can be found on all kinds of thematic forums and portals of gaming communities that directly or indirectly relate to this game.
Similarities
The sophisticated gamer will surely recognize something painfully familiar in the plot - of course, the first part of Mass Effect. The same races with similar traits:
- Maloki is to Rogan.
- Feyaene very much resemble asari .
- Gaalians are similar to Aalarians .
Common features of the plot are also recognizable:
- in the Space Rangers , the alliance confronts the Dominators ;
- in Mass Effect , the mechanical race of reapers who came to harvest organic civilizations.
A natural question arises: who borrowed the idea from whom ? At first glance, it seems that BioWare and Electronic Arts are from a domestic developer. Perhaps this argument is more significant, given that the first game about the " Rangers " was released back in 2002, and Mass Effect - only in 2007.
But, in fact, all this is not so important . Even if Western developers borrowed the idea, the universe of “ Space Rangers ” received a worthy rebirth, continuation and logical ending. This cannot but please the fans of the genre.
Conclusion
Despite all the intricacies of the gaming industry, the Rangers were very popular in Russia. When a gamer who accidentally stumbles upon a disc in a store leaves a review that the game is a masterpiece, then without any share of pathos and exaggeration, it can be argued that the efforts of the developers were not in vain.
You can endlessly repeat that there are better creations, with more advanced graphics, mechanics, and a bunch of other " goodies. " But for the developer, one review like “ The game is a real masterpiece ” means much more than a dozen comments “ Nothing like that, it will go a couple of times. ”
In the " Space Rangers " has its own " soul. " This is not a typical blockbuster, but an ingenious idea of Russian developers who simply teamed up to create the best game in the world. It is safe to say that they did it just fine. Let the company no longer exist, and people themselves probably already completely forgot about their creation, but the project is still popular among users. Rangers are played by those who want to indulge in nostalgia.
Everyone enjoy the game!
