The game is fun as heck. BUT BUT BUT after only two days it was "ghosting" my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra screen where the lasers were at the top of the screen. It took HOURS for it to fade. So I have to uninstall. If you don't have an OLED screen, you should be fine. Since last time I tried it, it crashes constantly within Sector 1.
I LOVE this game! It's a cool flashback combo of 2 of the 80's best arcade games. It keeps ALL the best parts of original Galaga, & adds beautiful graphics, & 3D wormholes with bonus coins between levels. It's still an easy to play top down scrolling shooter, but as levels get progressively harder, shooting aliens, & collecting coins & crowns to buy/upgrade new ships, is challenging & fun, & not pay to play. Be sure to get the Pac Man ship, it's def worth the visuals, & added capabilities!
Oh, Hell! Why mess around with all the "Clones" out there? When I heard the intro music, I knew it WAS what the original Namco/Midway arcade version had morphed into... Excellent play... Ads after stages, but everything always costs - I got it! However, you can still earn extra ships via merit just like the original some 40 years ago... Love the advanced up-to-date 3D graphics, and stages, making the experience a bit different, but then again, this IS Galaga - you wouldn't expect anything less!
The dog fights are much improved from the old game. However, the fact that coins only last about 5 seconds before they start vanishing is atrocious. There are micro transactions for everything. I would rather pay a price for the game and be done with it. Enemies hide bullets, the double fighter only lasts about 30 seconds, which I passionately hate. You display ads everywhere, and an unskippable fullscreen ad in the settings menu. This game is a joke compared to the original. You hate to see it.
Absolutely love it. THIS is how you redesign a classic game for mobile. 100% Free-to-Play, intuitive controls, good graphics, and don't get me started on how much I love the auto-pause function. There are in game ads but they are minimal and can be removed by a single IAP. There's no energy system so you can play as much as you want and revives/continue can quickly and easily be earned in game. Keep up the good work!
One thing I will say: instant ad skips are broken. If you buy something in the game, it gives you and skips. Which means watching a video to start a level, it will skip the ad and just start the level. You don't need to use warps and you don't have to watch an ad. Don't know the limits to that. Other than that, it's just galaga. There's nothing fancy. The "extra" levels that you get from buying Pac-Man are just reskinned regular levels. I'd much rather buy the games and have classic experiences
Is fun and it's free. Only annoying thing is it pauses when your finger comes off the screen ..even for a micro second. So when you really get into it and have adjust your finger position..it interferes with the flow of your gameplay. I uninstalled it because of that. Other than that, it's great.
My daughters would *love* to play this game... but it's so full of adverts at every turn that they'd end up accidentally buying things, rather than enjoying it. I wish they'd do a version which you DO have to pay for, but without the Ads all over the place. As it is... I played it... it looks amazing, great fun, and uninstalled it. Lesson learned.
its decent but nothing to write home about. seems like it was made to get ad money. you have the option to grind premium currency for new ships but you'll beat the game before you get close. levels are short and supplemented with difficulty and you have one life unless you want to watch an ad. if you don't want to watch that ad, you have to watch an ad to end your game. sad to say but theres a lot better out there.
A really fun and challenging game. Controls of this game is really difficult to play, and the actual difficulty of the game itself gets even harder the more you progress. Its hard at the beginning when you first start playing, but as you get used to the controls as well as how the game works, you can definitely play this at ease just as long as you are prepared. You can level up your ships to become stronger, thus making the journey a lot easier. Overall, really fun game.
Nice game, it's very pretty. But to play a level you need to watch a 30 ad or pay.....if you die, then another 30 ad. If you want to continue, another 30 ad comes up. When you want to go to a level you need to play an ad again or use rockets (which cost real money). It's VERY VERY irritating.
Excellent reboot. Love the crisp sound and graphics. Classic fighters which you can trick out is a nice addition. Only wish to have multiple upgrades for the same fighter at once instead of waiting for one upgrade to finish in order to upgrade something else. I know you can upgrade multiple fighters at once, but only wish to upgrade as much as I can handle at one time. Still a very much enjoyable game.
The control scheme here is very intuitive, the gameplay is infectious, glad it remembered my cloud save from 2019 when I installed it the other day. What I don't like is how enemies or bullets will hide behind my thumb and suddenly kill my character-- I get it comes with the control scheme but it makes the level 6 boss borderline impossible
It was a great experience it felt just like the original and classic sci-fi game from the 80s but EVEN BETTER GRAPHICS. The controls are simple the game is hard really hard which is something I love because then it makes the game a lot challenging, another thing that made really happy about this game is IT STILL HAS THE CLASSIC GENRE, sci-fi and action. no bugs or glitches, graphics and gameplay are smooth. Everything just great 100% recommended for everyone at all age 6 10 25 35 everyone 😀
Galaga wars is a game that will never replace galaga. The original galaga was a really fun 2d shoot em up and it will always be one of the best arcade games. I like the visuals of galaga wars. I also like some of the new ideas they added like upgrading your ship and having multiple levels with different enemies but there are way to many ads for my liking. It felt like every time I lost I got an ad. Overall this just makes me want to play the real galaga more than anything.
Great update to an arcade classic. The controls are as simple as they are responsive, the gameplay is fun, and the microtransactions don't get in the way if the experience. The only issue is that the ships require a ton of daily tokens or real cash. Coins to upgrade ship abilities and unlock sectors are easy to obtain just by playing EDIT: I have purchased the no-ads upgrade and still get ads. Also new update broke the game as all explosions now cause the game's framerate to freeze.
I hate losing maples. If the game is idle for a while, the app will exit back to the main screen and if you're in the middle of a game, you lose all objects collected. It's a good game overall, except for losing maples and coins when I get busy and can't get back to the game right away.
Fun shooter. The best experience is offline to avoid all the ads, but at a cost. You start with two lives, but only get access to the last one by paqying freemium (not cool) or watching an ad. Key to the game is unlocking ships, each giving additional lives and cheaper upgrades. Get as far as you can so you can warp around amd get the daily pickups for each level. Only complaint here is the very swingy difficulty - some days the enemies seem way more aggressive and powerups untimely.
Great game. The only thing I dont like is the upgrade pricing. It cost let's say a 1000 coins to upgrade something but it takes a 1000 coins to hit the upgrade button and 1000 coins to accept that I hit the the upgrade button. 2000 coins when it says only 1000. that alone makes me not want to pay for anything. will be 5 stars if this gets addressed until then I'll keep playing for free.
Great game. I'd also like to help out other players by saying a few tips. I heard a lot of reviews about too many ads and no remove ads, but now if you buy any pack (coins or ships), you will also get no ads which is great! Also I own all 8 ships, but if I'd say which ship is the strongest, I'd have to go with Pac-man. His moveset is Giant form (destroy enemies on contact), Pellet shot (shoots bullets that ricochet off the screen), Glitch mine (deploys mines), and Shockwave (makes Shockwaves).
Update: after contacting support, they answered the game is now abandonware so in-app purchases are definitely deactivated. if you're new to the game like me you'll have to do with ads with no way to remove them or buy new ships :( - A nice remake with cool graphics but the store doesn't seem to work for me, it doesn't let me purchase anything.
