Apple store makes decisions that limit you every time, but I don't blame the game for it. It's just hard to understand what all's going on but the ads include playable classic schmup games like 1945 and galaxiga, but the dizzying amount of ads and hard to pick up the first time and no way to own the game makes me knock two stars honestly. That's galaga wars+, and after giving this one a chance and not fast travelling, it's totally playable if you can beat the game on one coin you won't get ads! You can also buy a stash of coins for pretty cheap, and it's not a bad game. It's really hard to navigate even for the first time due to the infinite barrage of ads that you can't even buy your way out of unless you subscribe to apple arcade. I'm not sure what to think about this one. Your weapons by upgrading and leveling up your craft.Īlien waves with 4 unique abilities per ship including laser, explosive shot, space mines, ghost shield. Through endless waves of original enemies, including the Bee, Butterfly, Scorpion and many more deadly ones.


From pixel ships to more refined ones, have the feel of a casual runner mixed with the adrenaline of destroying enemies in the vast ocean of stars Galaga Wars is a classic retro shooter that has been seen times and times in your favorite arcades. You are the breaker of this cycle and the savior of the galaxy You are the hero that will make it through those waves as if they were mere bricks. They have an alien mothership of immense proportions, endless waves of ships bristling with high-tech weaponry and of course the sheer power of the boss Galaga. The survival of the universe is once more at stake. Also, the game has some performance issues I experienced freezes on different devices.The galaxy is calling for you, it needs to be saved from waves of aliens. The game serves up full-screen pop-up ads between every level and the "No Thanks" button is often obscured by the much more prominent "Free" button. One complaint that many players (including myself) have is Galaga Special Edition's ads. Here, you can take a break from the often repetitive play of the main game to try your hand at mini challenges that pit you against different formations of enemies. One addition that is nice, though, is the Challenges menu. Personally, I would've enjoyed this updated game much more if Namco had leveled up the graphics and weapons, but left the gameplay and iconic elements as close to the original as possible. Some might enjoy this scheme, but again, it's an utter disappointment for anyone who loved Galaga. These aliens fly in formation all over your screen, and no longer settle in the center the way they once did in the '80s.

What does carry over from Special Edition's predecessor, however, is its storyline it still pits you, a space fighter pilot, against an army of "insectoid aliens" swarming out of hyperspace. I found this pod difficult to use, and even useless, as it sometimes shot in unpredictable directions. There's also a sort of companion pod that can be deployed to assist you in your shooting. The newfangled cannon is, as expected, easier to aim, but again, it is a huge departure from the original game. Also, your primary weapon is a sort of three-way cannon, rather than the iconic puny shooter that frustrated so many of us. However, you can now move up and down as well as left and right. To start, your spaceship sits at the bottom of the screen with its guns pointing upward, similar to the original game.
