  SPaZ brings a challenging, and long lasting game for a cheap price.

  By koolmidx | Review Date: Aug 30, 2011 | PC

  First let me start by saying I haven't beaten this game yet. 34 hours play time according to Steam and I've barely completed 10% of the galaxy which currently I have set to 150 of a possible 300 solar system galaxy. ... Read Full Review

  A whole lot of fun in a simple package.

  By Brendissimo35 | Review Date: Oct 28, 2013 | PC

  SPAZ reminds me why Escape Velocity excited me when I was a kid. It's an all out blast of a top down space shooter, and has a cool sense of humor as well. There are a solid variety of balanced ship types and weapons, an... Read Full Review

  Despite its simplification of space and obvious sources of inspiration, SPAZ is a sophisticated strategy/RPG title.

  By Gelugon_baat | Review Date: Apr 18, 2013 | PC

  INTRO: The runaway success of the Space Rangers franchise had inspired the creation of more than a few similar games. Space Pirates and Zombies, or "SPAZ", to use the official acronym of the game, is one such attempt. At... Read Full Review

  If you know and liked Star Control, you will like this.

  By kenundrum7 | Review Date: Feb 01, 2012 | PC

  Saw this on Steam for $3.99, and thought "what the heck". I never even heard of this game until it popped up on a Steam advertisement. I quickly turned off the ad, as I always do, yet I caught a glimps of it, and thou... Read Full Review

  The future of space shooters has finally arrived.

  By Devil_Man_X | Review Date: Jan 30, 2012 | PC

  This game was such a surprise for me. At release I immediately wrote the game off simply because it had "zombies" in the title. I am quite honestly just tired of the lazy way that zombies are getting pumped out in games ... Read Full Review

  SPAZ is old school space shooting, combined with every modern gameplay element that can possibly be combined with it.

  By LtReviews | Review Date: Dec 12, 2011 | PC

  ies, or SPAZ, is a unique combination of genres, as much as it is a unique combination of elements in the title. You are Pirates in Space who fight Zombies. But this odd combination doesn't do justice to the truly im... Read Full Review

  Great 'old school' Sci Fi / Zombies shoot 'em up with space ships

  By levison | Review Date: Aug 30, 2011 | PC

  SPAZ keeps it simple by sticking to 2D, a top down view, of the battlefield. It's a very addictive game, because you need to get your hands on new tech be to be able to win encounters. But you can always just go back to ... Read Full Review

  What do you get after a hot threesome where Space Rangers 2, Darkstar One and GalCiv II hookup? S.P.A.Z!

  By Jaga_Telesin | Review Date: Aug 17, 2011 | PC

  Space Pirates and Zombies is a wonderful blend of a top-down space sim, RPG, and shooter.. very similar to Space Rangers 2. It has quite a number of RPG-like elements to the gameplay, where upgrading your technologies i... Read Full Review
