About

Have you ever wanted to be admiral of a huge, sprawling space battle-fleet of your own design? Ever wanted to design a fleet of battle-cruisers so powerful they can rip all who oppose them into space-dust? Ever wanted to build a battleship with purple rotating radars and 64 engines? Well we have good news for you...

Gratuitous Space Battles is back! and it's approximately 50,000 times more gratuitous than before. A completely new ground-up rebuilding of the custom 'Gratuitous Engine' gives the game a completely new look, with beam-lasers 10x as 'beamy' as explosions 10x more gratuitous.

So there is hope for Gratuitous Space Battles 2. If Positech fixes the regular crashes, that's step one. Step two, however, would either involve a huge change to the game's core mechanics, or would be down to a dedicated modding community—something that, while very much supported by the developer, isn't something anyone can guarantee either way. But for now, in the state GSB2 is in, it's a difficult game to recommend.

Eine wie lieblos zusammengeschusterte Kampagne, durchweg ähnliche Einsatzgebiete und furztrockener Raumschiffbau haben mir den Geschmack verdorben. ...Das Flair großer Schlachten fängt Gratuitous Space Battles 2 jedenfalls kaum ein. Hielt sich der Vorgänger mit unnötiger Masse noch zurück und bot ein kleines Stück Klasse, sind die Weltraumschlachten diesmal leider überflüssig.
