A perfect retro game. Simple and easy to play, but hard to master. There is a reason people are still playing it decades after release. The sights and sounds of Galaga are absolutely breathtaking. A great game to play on the steam deck.

This space shooter requires you to shoot all of the aliens before they make it to your ship and destroy it. You get 3 lives and once they are spent it's game over. This is a true arcade classic. Back in the day we would compete for high scores at the arcade Galaga and several other games. Rating: 10/10 This is THE space shooter that really brought games like this to life.

(ENGLISH + SPANISH) Well, as you might have noticed, I played this classic, and honestly, I’m absolutely terrible at it. I can’t hit a thing, I always die right at the start, and truth be told, I’m awful at this game. But hey, that doesn’t mean I can’t recognize that it’s a great game. This is actually a really good port, a remastered version with additional achievements, and honestly, it’s very well done. I highly recommend it. Even though it’s much harder for me than I’d like to admit, I can’t deny that it got me hooked. It’s one of those titles that, even if you’re terrible at it, makes you want to keep trying, to give it one more shot. So, despite my miserable skills, I recommend it without hesitation. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Bueno, como podrán observar, jugué a este clásico y, sinceramente, soy un manco. No le pego a una ni por casualidad, me muero siempre al principio, y la verdad es que soy pésimo en este juego. Pero ojo, eso no significa que no pueda reconocer que es un juegazo. Este es un muy buen port, la verdad, una versión remasterizada que, además, trae logros adicionales para darle un poco más de desafío y rejugabilidad. La experiencia que ofrece está realmente bien cuidada y respeta la esencia del juego original, pero con esos toques modernos que se agradecen. Aunque me cueste más de lo que me gustaría, no puedo negar que me enganchó. Es uno de esos títulos que, aunque seas malísimo, te invita a seguir intentando, a darle una chance más. Así que, más allá de mis habilidades lamentables, lo recomiendo sin dudar.
