initial difficulty and intermittent lack of polish". GameSpy also had high praise for the overall experience, and did not feel it that it could be undermined by translation and grammatical errors. 1up.com was critical of the game's dated graphics as well as its translation to English, but felt that the game's depth and replayability made it worthwhile to play anyway. GameSpot hailed Space Rangers 2 as a successor to Star Control II, making many favorable comparisons between the game's exploration, action, and sense of freedom.

The editors of Computer Games Magazine named Space Rangers 2 the fifth-best computer game of 2005. They called it "an expansive, diverse, and irresistible amalgam of genres bundled within an impressively dynamic universe." It also won PC Gamer USs 2006 "Best Turn-Based Strategy Game" award.
