About The Game
This critic's choice has been retooled to create the ultimate version for the Nintendo Switch.
'80s spaceship anime and arcade-gaming meld with ultra-modern physics and A.I. in a skill-demanding, procedurally generated rogue-lite adventure! Be the hero in a world that oozes classic Saturday morning anime but plays like a tough, modern, tactical shooter. Try to survive the hostile environments of deep space, battling warring factions full of unique and cunning enemies. Unlock ever more powerful upgrades as you learn the secret of the GALAK-Z, and die and die again as you valiantly struggle to become the ultimate pilot – finally good enough to beat what GALAK-Z throws at you!
- New Mode: The Void allows endless gameplay, Online Leaderboards, and a Daily Challenge
- Advanced enemy A.I. for intense dogfights
- Exclusive Guest Star: Juan from Guacamelee featured as an enemy unit
- Arcade Mode for the faint of heart who don't dare the rogue-lite approach
GALAK-Z is playable in TV mode, Handheld mode, or Tabletop mode and supports HD Rumble, Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, and Joy-Con controllers.

When do you think you'll have a review of this up? I started to buy with the discount for prepurchase, but thought if it's the same as the free game, why am i paying..? Glad to hear the things mentioned in this interview, which makes me glad i didn't spend my last few dollars on it. I'm looking forward to the review, cuz i may buy it in the future since i still play the variant S version.
The artwork for this title was actually done by the late Jason Brookes (SuperPlay magazine and former EDGE editor)
May he rest in peace
