- Space Menace 2 is a high-level sci-fi strategy coming soon to mobile
- Take on fleet battles as they rise in intensity, upgrade your ships to cater to your strategy
- Navigate a galaxy in chaos and get ready to take on an unknown enemy
Ever since FTL first brought the idea of fleet-level space combat back to the fore, developers on virtually every platform have taken a crack at bringing the strategy of sci-fi space battles to the world of gaming. And now, Space Menace 2 will follow the original mobile release, Space Menace, in doing just that, with a potential August release date.
Space Menace 2 sees you starting off as a low-level fleet commander responsible for only a few ships as the galaxy slips into chaos. As you battle from system to system, you’ll slowly accrue more and more ships until eventually you’re doing battle with a highly advanced fleet in life-or-death struggles.
Of course, that means selecting from a variety of ships and customising them to build a fleet geared towards your style of command. And Space Menace 2 boasts a very simple but deep drag-and-drop system allowing you to mix and match different weapons and upgrades by dragging them onto your ship, much like the aforementioned FTL.

Space Menace 2 offers an interesting mix of the customisation system and general set-up (galaxy in chaos, you have to survive) of FTL. But it also offers more real-time combat with plenty of flashy effects as lasers and projectiles fly back and forth between your ships and those of the enemy.
Oh, and did I mention that there’s some sort of rumour in the world of Space Menace 2 of an unknown new threat? Better hope you’ve prepared yourself for the endgame.
