A new overview trailer has been released for developer Sam Enright's upcoming RPG Beyond Galaxyland, and it's looking quite lovely, if we do say so ourselves.
Clocking in at over five minutes in length, the trailer goes through what you can expect from the game's bonkers story, how you can catch creatures and even bosses to summon during combat, and provides an overview of some of the outrageous side-quests you'll be encountering on your journey.
Launching on 24th September 2024, Beyond Galaxyland stars Doug, an entirely unassuming human who, after being whisked away from Earth following a Halloween party, discovers that he's just about escaped his planet's untimely destruction. Very 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' so far, then. As Doug, you'll be exploring a multitude of planets and encountering a wide variety of potential companions and enemies alike.
It honestly looks pretty stunning; we love the stylised pixel art visuals, and the artistic vision on display here is truly exemplary. Here's hoping the gameplay can match up to the presentation. As we get closer to the release date, let's remind ourselves of the key features:
- Explore the many extraordinary worlds of Galaxyland in an adventure to save the Earth
- Experience a thrilling story that pays homage to your favourite retro sci-fi movies
- Form a party of diverse companions to overcome foes in tactical turn-based combat
- Capture enemies in combat to later unleash as allies or buffs during future battles
- Craft new armours and consumables to aid Doug and his pals on their journey
- Engage in over 25 epic boss battles with the Universe's most-feared adversaries
- A truly unique soundtrack unlike anything you've heard (at least on this planet) with over 50 diverse tracks spanning a myriad of genres from electronic to hip-hop to piano-heavy blues.

Looks pretty cool based on this trailer, will definitely consider getting it myself at some point!
This game looks sooo good, it definitely feels like a potential indie RPG classic. I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm a little cautious of everything that gets a discount before it's even released. So I'll wait for a couple of reviews to form my opinion.
But if it's as great as it seems I'll be there^^
@McBurn It's just an incentive for people to pre-order, even Nintendo first party games get that multiple retailers. It happens with plenty of great games on the eShop, the last two I preordered with a discount were Darkest Dungeon II and Dicefolk for example, both excellent.
@silver-crescent That's great and all I'll still wait a bit. I'm in no rush..probably won't get to it until next year anyway.
And while your examples of pre-release discounts might have turned out to be good games, a LOT of them are not^^ at least in my experience
@McBurn Fair enough! Personally I don't think any game I pre-ordered on the eShop actually turned out to be bad, but then again I only ever pre-order games I'm practially 100% sure I'll like, otherwise I just put then on the wishlist and wait and see.
I'll have a good look at a review for this, the youtube thumbnail really underplays what the game actually looks like in the screenshots.
I'd be inclined to check it out simply on the basis of it being a space rpg, there's not enough of those around for my liking!
This game looks SICK! I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out.
@McBurn - Honestly, I am with you here. Pre-orders used to be that it secures your copy when things were more physical. When it is digital, I also wait a bit. And if the itch outweighs the patience, I finally bite.
Last time that happened was Berserk Boy.
@McBurn same goes for full price games, it is not about discount it's about the game.
