Space Raiders in Space is a tower defense and squad management game. It's strategic, addictive, funny, and full of content. Your squad of up to 8 soldiers has to build defenses such as wood barricades, turrets, traps, and more to survive several waves of bugs. Each soldier can carry two weapons (one gun and one for close-combat). There are three resources which…

Great humor, great artwork, the game runs as smooth as.....something incredibly smooth. lmao, seriously, very well optimized and its early access! If you join the Discord, the devs will actually talk to you, never had that experience before. Anyway, support these two awesome devs (not stupid) and buy this game! Edit - This game just got a whole lot more epic with the story update! Edit, edit - just buy the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They call themselves 2 Stupid Devs, but really only one of them is stupid. The other one is completely moronic and worthless and all around terrible. But despite Nick's plentiful and obvious shortcomings as a human being, they've still managed to put together a fun game. Awesome comic book visuals, lots of cool weapons, interesting decisions to be made, fairly intense combat against gross looking bugs, and occasionally frustrating RNG results. The devs are very responsive to community…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[This review is made because of beef with developer Nick. Just to make my bias clear] Space Raiders in Spaaace is a great all round game with loot and balls to make all kinds questionable jokes. Unfortunately, developer Nick himself just can't seem to handle trolling and unfiltered criticisms well. As a fan of the BTD series and WCIII TD mods, it really triggers me when Nick undermines the accomplishments of Ninja Kiwi, Legion TD and Element TD devs who have indie roots by calling them 'AAA'.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: Art good, writing good, good humor, and pretty fun game. 7/10 I think the $9.99 price point is perfectly priced as well. Mix of we are billions + cod zombies. Positives: + Art is very good + Writing is funny and enjoyable to read + To quote the dev's "Simplicty with Depth" + Fun for people who like the genre and people new to the genre + Leaderboards add to replayability Neutral: - Still in Early Access - Some game modes not available Negatives: - Menus can be a bit confusing -…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is by far not my most well-known game, but as an indie passion project, Space Raiders in Space definitely holds a special place in my heart. store.steampowered.com/app/1278210/...
unlabelledView post →Great artstyle, interesting way of storytelling throughout the levels, but unfortunately way too repetitive without much depth. Every level boils down to the same structure, wave, gather, build/repair and it goes on and on... I can definitely see an amazing game based on this in the future though. Also, I know you are going for cheesy B-Movie characters, but they are not likable or charming at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An excellent game all-around. The combat is fairly straightforward. but the mechanics and micro/macro-management can get incredibly complex. It's has a very low skill floor where my six-year-old son could play. The skill ceiling, however, can get quite high. There's a lot of weapon swapping and action management that can allow for some very advanced kiting mechanics. Considering how many ♥♥♥♥ games launched this year, this game is definitely near the top. It's a shame that AAA games are much…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's actually more of a "meh - not bad" from me than a straight up recommendation. So far, I've finished the story on normal difficulty and played a bit of the RNG-Endless-mode. The Good: This is a nice twist on tower-defence. Characters with guns and blades and a few towers and mostly walls to maze with, to make the bugs go longer ways around you. The music is nice, the atmosphere fits with what they're going for. Bug-Killing is fun. Especially with the different ranged weapons. The main…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's free! Why? This game drips personality. From the first menu the authors decree that making games is a craft more important than money and that the purity of the experience is key. The tutorial is hilarious, with every hint or description having a "why" button that rapidly devolves into an argument between the developers. For instance, a dialog explaining the core game-play contains "Your raiders are a rowdy bunch. You cannot expect to control them directly ... " "... Because LOREN…

A steal if on steam sale. very optimized game even runs with integrated graphic cards bloody comic-book style with funny adult humour different weapons (Minigun, Assault rifle, Sniper Rifle, RPG, Shotgun and many more) very good and crispy sound effects lots of achievements and possible to 100% 3 difficulty levels in campaign endless and survival mode with different themes like some Anime girls, "Hatred" (killing…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very solid tower defense game. The story mode is pretty cool and the whole game goes for a comic book vibe that I think is executed very well. While the story mode is cool, the meat and potatoes are definitely in the Endless and Survival modes. I really like that there are several different character starts that you can choose from. Squad management is a core part of the game and managing your squads abilities can make or break you on the harder waves. This definitely keeps the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Captain Anatolian's Small Rewievs The game consists of tower defense, survival and strategy genres. The gameplay repeats for a while, but the game does not take long. It has stylistic and comic style graphics. The storytelling is nice and funny. There are jokes that destroy the 3rd wall. The game has 3 different endings. If you want to see 3 ends, you have to play the last episode 3 times. The game ends after 5.5 hours.It takes 7 hours if you want to see all the ends. Video link:…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SRIS is my first EarlyAcces game and I don't regret buying it. At the moment, Endles and Survival modes provide entertainment and relaxation while waiting for the campaigns. Guys from 2stupiddevs are amazing! there is great contact with them via discord, where you can write about ideas to make this game more awsome.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've seen browser TDs with more complexity and smarter mechanics than this garbage.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have always loved playing tower defense type of games. This game was on a big discount during summer sales and I bought it after seeing someone recommend this game in another discord group. Love this game and worth every penny of what I have spent! I would have paid the original full price for it too. Artwork, comic relief and voice was good! gameplay super fun once you get the hang of it. didnt know you could rotate the screen using Q and E buttons though. lol
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just beat the game in one sitting. I enjoyed it the whole time though. Good strategy tower defense game. Building the right defense is crucial to beating each stage. I unintentionally cheesed the last boss though lol. He got stuck between my wall and the ship door and my guys just fired away until his hp was zero...I was so prepared to have him blast through all my defenses fight him is a close battle to the end. Opps. Gonna go back and play the endless mode next. Then you can unlock survival…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Space Raiders in Space is a fairly rudimentary tower defense game. There are very few towers to place, in fact there are only 2 that shoot, and 2 that are one-shot uses, and the rest are walls & decoys. You also have 3-5 controlled player units that can each equip different guns and melee weapons, but you can't strategically place them easily. There's no encyclopedia of the mobs you face, knowing which ones are armored for example will let you know when you should use AP weapons. It does seem…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Space Raiders in Space is a tower defense game where you have control over 3 units. Between the waves you can let the units search the areas for weapons, food, equipment. With the tools you find you can make things like barricades, turrets. When the waves attack your units allways go to the same place. You can not let them defend their position on a place you like. The units have a defend and an attack command which change their attitudes when the waves are attacking. Each unit has a melee…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →-POST EARLY-ACCESS UPDATE- Space Raiders in Space is finally out of early access and now has a dedicated story campaign to round out its gameplay modes. It remains a squad-based wave defense game with minor base and resource management aspects in all modes, so the main question at this point is whether the nine-ish chapter story campaign lives up to the promise of the formula? I'd say yes, which is likely apparent given that I'm still recommending the game. The cutscene narration and images…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoyable and fresh indie game featuring: -Wave defense consisting of barricades, traps, and more -Alien bugs of increasing size and difficulty making up a lot of variety -Orders to give and angry space raiders to take them -Blood, Guns, and Puns baby! Overall it is a really solid game with some of the fastest development I've seen. The cool art style combined with the fun gameplay makes me keep coming back for more. Best of all, it's free! Highly worth a shot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't believe this game doesn't have over 100,000 positive reviews. It's a real gem. Wonderfully accessible and fun. Brilliantly designed gameplay. Beware, though, that it's a bit unsuitable for kids- nudity and profanity, but u can turn off profanity. U also need to be ok to configure keys to a gamepad ( quite easy on steam). It's just resource management, defense building, then siege, then again and again. Story is almost annoyingly wacky, but is consistently entertaining. Sometimes a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the animation, combination of tower defence and RTS with pause. Plays very well and the story is actually worht listening to instead of skipping over. Well worth the money
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stumbled across this one during the recent sale and I'm loving it thus far. Big fan of Tower Defense games. Fantastic art-style and it is very smooth. Seems to be fairly simple but still quite fun. Good value for $ and I would happily have paid full price it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool little defense against the swarm game. I enjoyed the comic book graphics, they were well done.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun and addictive with a ton of replayability with the rngjesus and survival modes. The devs are awesome and still adding more stuff to the game so it's only gonna get better.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cool game. I like the combination of squad mechanics and wave defense. Here is some gameplay for those curious about how it looks in practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhH_nbbcDiE
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game.. ALOT, the graphics are amazing and i feel like they fit the theme of this game. But the graphics are, TOO GOOD for my potato PC so i hope we can get a graphic setting update in the future so me and alot of other potato PC'ers can run this game at a high FPS
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super fun! Wave defense game with cheesy puns and lots of killing! The dev team is very engaged with their players and actually listen to feedback! These guys are great! Show em some love so they keep making awesome games!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very snarky, punny, and generally hilarious game. The absurdity of the Mortality rate is only topped by the inventive and ridiculous ways your crew members join and leave your merry band. They are more likely to kill themselves in more increasingly wonderful ways than they are to get mauled by giant alien death monsters, (although that is a possibility.) You might hate Nick by the end but not the game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're looking for a defense game that's not only challenging, but is extremely fun, Space Raiders in Space is that game! The game logic is easy to pickup, thanks to advice from the creators in their tutorial, and encourages players to do more then just defend your base. You can loot for new weapons, build up your base with innovative defenses and utilize characters to their strengths so you can succeed on each wave. The design is pretty cool as well, it makes you feel like you're playing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Does not support 32:9 resolution This is a tower defense game. Although the campaign is short, the gameplay is good if a bit easy. I havent tried the endless mode yet but the comic style and the voice acting is really good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tower-defense. A bit less static than some others. There’s a build, repair, and scavenge phase, followed by a defense phase where you fend off alien hordes. Ideally from behind the barricades you built earlier. You do that waves after waves. There are occasional pseudo-progression of the map. "Pseudo" because the map expands for scavenging and the benefit of the story, but the defense point remains the same. The tactic does not really evolve. Characters can be controlled individually or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absloulely amazing. I loved every bit of this game and it's humor. More tower defense but you have a ton of freedom to build and plan. The problems I had there was a thing to fix it. Love the hell out of this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the style, great little original tower defense like game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game already recommending it to my friends!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is by far one of the best games I've ever played, especially when considering the price of the game. Get it if you can, wait for a sale if you don't want to spend that much. Space Raiders In Space is a mix of tower defense, build'um'up and resource management game focused around defending against waves upon waves of enemies in a cartoonish/comic book art style. It's really fun due to how clearly put in alot of love, heart, and soul into this game. also featuring TON's of jokes. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's the simple things in life. Voice overs so bad they're good, some fun humour, pretty addictive gameplay. Had a good few hours plus there's plenty of endless/survivor modes to challenge yourself with. Awesome art. Good music. Will keep installed to play again when I want some mindless murdering of aliens.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is Awesome! The Devs really put their passion into it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great little spin on Tower Defense , adds some story and in this particular case little bit of humor. Will play on Intel 10th gen IGPU graphics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is addictive as hell. first day playing i played 10 hours straight without even noticing. the rngsus mode is like a rougelike version so plenty of replayability. only issue i have is not a lot of variety in the bugs but kits not that big of an issue and havent checked if theres mod support yet but if there is that would probably take care of that.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Space Raiders in Space is a frenetic paced tower defense joyride, filled with loads of irreverent humor. The artistic design and presentation of the game is quite unique, and fits the game perfectly. The gameplay is fast and enjoyable. The detailed squad management aspects keep you more engaged than your more typical tower defense games, and you feel like you're right in the action alongside your team. When your crew members are surrounded by bugs and are taking hits, you wince, and really wish…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Truly a blast to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like wave survival games make sure you check this game out, it is a perfect blend between We Are Billions and gears of war horde mode, your survivors need to hunker down and slaughter all bugs rushing towards you, in a really neat idea they have a build mode so you can slow down time to place things down. Its well worth the price tag even in the humor on the game is fantastic!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Think of it like.. COD Zombies + XCOM + Borderlands + that Spiderman movie where it was like a comic book. It's seriously fun and VERY easy to lose track of time of.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →noir defence fun, light yet challenging. needs a soundtrack. i am a lazy busy guy and this game is ideal relax tool
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →love the new ui . great gamplay . if you like wave base defance this game is for you
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Space Raiders in Space fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on, good game. Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $0.49 Or Less During Sale
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For sure I recommend this, it's fast paced and a refreshingly unique take on the roguelike genre. Combined with the cool artstyle this game is super fun to play and just chill out to. Although the devs are stupid, they made an awesome game! Buy it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game that is amazingly...amazing! Plenty of thought went into debating if I needed this game in my life. The verdict...I suffered from slight twitching and inner voices being away from it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An unexpected game to say the least. In a good way tho since I have been finding this game very fun compared to a lot of other tower defence games with it's unique take on the genre with characters to command, that aren't still sentries which also have unique perks/characteristics to go with them. I also appreciate the art style and added voice acting which is rare to see in some indie games never mind a story mode to a tower defence game. I can just tell it was made with a lot of passion and…
