Hunt down dangerous fugitives in Space Marshals.

It’s for fans of tactical shooters.

$3.99 $3.99
Why we picked this?

This sci-fi wild west adventure isn’t your usual dual-stick shooter. Instead of going after your enemies guns blazing, you’ll have to use the environments to your advantage. You’re able to avoid enemies by taking cover, create distractions to single out targets, and use disguises to sneak by guards. Space Marshals allows you to change out your weapons and armor in order to ensure you’re prepared for the task at hand. The game also includes a fun episodic storyline, iCloud integration, and MFi controller support.

Space Marshals truly has it all. With its engaging storytelling, gorgeous graphics, and tight gameplay, there’s truly something for everyone.

The only reason to skip this one is if you need intense, fast-paced action in order to stay engaged.
