This is an accessible game but one that is very challenging, yet it's always engaging.

An enjoyable twist on the tower defense genre. The downside of tower defense games is that you can often find yourself a disengaged viewer, watching your towers do their work and hoping for the best. That's not the case with Space Run. It has the strategy elements of a tower defense game, but it keeps you constantly active in defending and adapting your ship. And to me, that's a winning combination.

A thoroughly engrossing tower defence game with a couple of unique twists of its own.

An interesting "reverse tower defense", with an original and humorous setting. Too bad for the oppressive grinding.

An interesting tower defense in space, but also a one-trick pony. [Sept 2014, p.67]

Space Run is a confident and well executed first outing from France’s Passtech Games, offering a quality experience occasionally comparable with the best in the genre.

By paying such homage to the 80s classics which inspired it - even in an age where ‘retro’ interpretations are ala mode - Space Run feels a bit dated.
