Description

Brand New features!! The Void DLC offers endless gameplay, Online Leaderboards, and a Daily Challenge that allows players to compete worldwide for the top score.

Prepare for the bar to be raised on deep-space 2D dog-fighting! GALAK-Z is a modern, A.I. and physics-driven open-world action game, viewed through the lens of the classic 16-bit space shooter. Powered by the next-generation Cyntient AI platform, GALAK-Z puts players in control of anime-inspired spacecraft inhabiting procedurally generated worlds.

In GALAK-Z both stealth and skill are required to defeat truly intelligent enemies. You will be forced to outsmart enemies that think, react and cooperate like seasoned pilots! Master your ship’s sublimely-honed controls as you blast enemies, unleash missile salvos, and even toss your opponents, mech-style, to their explosive demise.

Recently added, Arcade Mode lets you replay failed missions any number of times without losing all of your saved progress. Rogue Mode retains GALAK-Z’s original white-knuckle roguelike challenge that harkens back to the 16-bit era of gaming. Rogue mode will always be available if and when you’re looking to test your skill and bravery by putting everything on the line, every mission.

Players will be forced to outmaneuver, outgun and outsmart enemies that think, react and cooperate like seasoned pilots. Both stealth and skill are required to defeat enemy squads in a brutal game of cat and mouse. Prepare for an enemy that comes alive like never before!

Right, so Galak-Z. What a bloody disaster. Picture this: You're a game developer, yeah? And instead of giving players a proper ending, you just... stop. Like a toddler throwing a tantrum and walking away

Really fun rogue-like top down space shooter with visuals inspired by 80's anime like Robotech. Combat feels so cool and satisfying because although it looks like an arcade shooter there's actually a big tactical edge

Getting 100% was a mixed bag of decent gameplay but an achievement gamble. approximate amount of time to 100%: 15-25hours ~ (skill dependent) Estimated achievement difficulty: 7/10 Minimum number of playthroughs needed:

I never thought that this game has so few reviews (or maybe something happened them), but, honestly, it felt like an AAA game to me back when I played it, I really liked it, and it felt cool. It has nice combat

Arguably the best mech 2D gameplay ever! Freely switch from jet to mech with realistic momentum and physics. Complexity delivered simply if you're into mechs. Missiles, grappling hook, PvEvE, fun upgrades,
