Galaga Wars+

This a fun and addictive game!

The Good: Solid and immersive gameplay. Graphics. Progression system with ships from other games and abilities. Relative touch/Classic control styles. The Bad: Easily the biggest things holding this game back are two-fold; 1) Relative touch is the most efficient control scheme but iPad/iPhone constantly tries to swipe UP and minimize the game. Need a way to disable the swipe bar. Also having finger on screen/ship blocks view and gets you killed in higher levels. 2) Progression for ships is insanely slow and monotonous. Single mechanic for unlocking ships via destroying the satellites is tiring and, well, SLOW. Game needs alternate method for new ships and higher ship levels. Add flexibility to the game and you have 5 Stars.

It’s all fun until you get to the challenges only one shot then you die wow soooooo great

This game used to be great. Just hard enough. Now there’s this stupid giant purple thing that comes around behind you and you can’t attack it… not to mention it’s just another effort in dodging, except now, you can’t see half the things you need to dodge because they’re under your thumb/hand. I really hate when games make changes like this for no reason. I didn’t ask for a more challenging game. It’s not on elite mode, there isn’t an option to ignore updates. Take my one-star review until you fix the stupid. It’s bad enough that minor bug STILL EXIST. Inconsistencies and annoyances that have been around for years, but let’s add new stuff…

In short, Galaga is a wormhole of fun that'll have you warping back to the 80s faster than you can say "warp drive." So, buckle up, grab your joystick, and prepare for a nostalgic adventure that's out of this world!

Used to enjoy before arcade. Now it pauses every time you lift your finger and there is no setting to remove. Terrible.

Overall the gameplay is great, but it’s merely pulling from a tried and true arcade classic. The modern polish is poorly optimized, with my more recent iPhone still over heating while playing. I shutter at the thought of playing Galaga wars+ on a low end device. The overheating seems to come from there being to many enemies and attacks on the screen. Ship hitboxes are too big, just enough to get you killed on elite mode. Powerups should add more to the game. I don’t like playing the same ship’s Frankensteined together and given a new paint job. The ships hovering just above the players finger make it difficult to view the lower part of the screen. Gameplay loop is limited to how many new ships the devs can add, no point in playing if you can’t spend your hard earned coins n’ credits. An upgrade that allows more player choice in powerups would greatly benefit new and veteran players. The crab boss is way to hard for new players. Encountering it on your first run can ruin your perception of the game. There are many points in the fight in which it is impervious to player attacks. Specifically when in its rear attack phase. The game should let players know when the crab is coming, giving a skilled pilot time to prepare. Maybe trying to get one of the few powerups that should be able to attack behind you, missile barrage and electro trail come to mind. Elite mode enemies are great. The idea of fighting enemies that can use your own weapons against you is brilliant. Many a mode where you play as the bugs would increase player activity. However the attacks should be actual clones of power ups. The player should never be able to crash into enemy bugs that are in ghost mode. The ships are difficult to see and are invincible, death to them feels deeply unfair. Overall good game for mobile, but could use some serious improvement.

This is a great classic arcade shooter with modern additions that bring a lot of replay value, motivation to grind and get better, and a whole lot of satisfaction when you are able to achieve a great run or finish a hard challenge stage. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Probably the best version of Galaga.

Mindless and fun. Great for getting away for a quick minute.
