Space Marshals

If you’ve ever wondered what The Good, the Bad and the Ugly might look like in deep space, Space Marshals has your answer, and it comes holstered in laser pistols. This tactical top-down shooter from PixelBite drops you into the boots of Burton, a grizzled specialist tasked with rounding up galaxy’s-worst fugitives after a prison break that makes Alcatraz look like a playground scuffle. The twist? You were one of them, until the badge found its way back onto your chest.

Combat in Space Marshals isn’t about charging in like a trigger-happy asteroid miner. It’s about playing it smart, hugging cover, flanking outlaws, and using the environment like a trusty sidearm. Frag grenades, flashbangs, proximity mines… Burton’s toolkit is as varied as the rogues he’s chasing, and choosing the right loadout for the job can mean the difference between a clean arrest and a smoking crater.

Running in guns blazing is an option, a noisy, often suicidal one, but stealth is where the game shines. Slip past guards in disguise, lure enemies away with distractions, or silently thin the herd with suppressed fire. Missions reward precision, planning, and a little frontier cunning, doling out stars for objectives met and encouraging repeat runs for better gear.

And the presentation? Gorgeous. Space Marshals pairs crisp, stylistic HD visuals with lively, detail-packed levels that feel equal parts Firefly and Sergio Leone. Enemy designs are distinct enough that, after one encounter, you’ll know exactly how to handle them next time.

It’s not flawless, chasing 100% completion can get repetitive, but the core loop is sharp, satisfying, and addictive. Whether you’re a stealth purist or a shootout junkie, Space Marshals makes bounty hunting in space one hell of a ride.
