On the whole, Space Rangers is played as a top-down, [[TurnBasedTactics turn-basedtop-down {{Elite}}, but there're also arcade hyperspace battles (think {{Asteroids}}) tactical game]] coupled with considerable RPGElements. You fly your ship from star to star, planet to planet, fighting the enemy (whoever you choose it to be at any given time), upgrading your ship, trading cargo, and text-adventure bits. so forth. Everything is done using a simple point-and-click interface. However, at many points in the game, gameplay changes radically, incorporating mini-games that are very different from this style. Major diplomatic quests require playing text-based mini-adventures (some of which are remarkably complex). Wormholes take you to another dimension which plays like a classic ShootEmUp.

While the player may be passing time waiting for his satellites to finish scanning a dead planet, entire battles are fought over star systems on the other side of the quadrant. The enemy and the Coalition send ships at each other, attempt to stay technologically ahead of each other, and prices change according to the lively traffic of trading ships across all sectors of space. In fact, on the easier difficulty levels it is possible for the Coalition to push the enemy to the brink of destruction ''all by themselves''!
The second game (''Space Rangers 2'') can be seen as an advanced version of the first game, offering many features that the first game did not have while keeping the same gameplay style. The story is almost the same too: the defeated Klissan mothership Makhpella has given rise to a three separate races of machines that now seek to destroy the Interstellar Coalition [[EnemyCivilWar as well as each other]], so now you have three major enemies instead of one, but everything else is largely the same. Nonetheless, thanks to the success of the original, the second game features much higher production quality, and a lot more content.
Although released for the Russian market, which consistently shows more interest in slower, smarter games, Space Rangers 2 did surprisingly well in the West for its genre.
