“An amazingly animated iOS game.” – Time Magazine “Really can't get enough of Space Marshals.” – Touch Arcade ”Space Marshals just screams “PLAY ME!” – 148 Apps ABOUT THE GAME Space Marshals is a Sci-fi Wild West adventure taking place in outer space! This tactical top-down shooter puts you in the shoes of specialist Burton in his hunt for dangerous fugitives after a disastrous prison break. TACTICAL COMBAT Use the environment to your advantage. Avoid attacks by taking cover. Flank enemies for extra efficiency, but avoid getting flanked yourself! Use the tools of the trade to gain an edge - frag grenades, flash bangs, distractions, personal shields, proximity mines and more. STEALTH Choose your approach with care. Some say running into the fray guns blazing isn’t always the best option. Use distractions to single out opponents. Use disguises and covers to sneak past irrelevant guards. Use silenced weapons to covertly reduce the enemy numbers. LOAD-OUTS & GEAR Choosing your load-out is a big part of your tactics. In addition to body armor and grenades you can carry one two-handed and one single-handed weapon in each mission - and there’s something for everyone. Shotguns, handguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, crossbows, energy weapons, throwing axes and more. ### IMPORTANT ### Please note that iPhone 4 is not supported. • Tactical top-down shooter • Episodic storyline in three chapters - ALL chapters out now! • Gorgeous stylistic HD graphics rendered in Retina resolution (full Retina not supported on iPad 3) • Optimized for iOS 8 and Metal graphics! • Wide range of weapons and gear • Performance based mission rewards • Multiple factions to fight with or against – or pitch against each other • Dual stick controls with a set of different options • MFi controller support (requires extended layout) • iCloud save game support • GameCenter achievements • English, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano, 简体中文, 한국어, 日本語, русский, Português do Brasil
