There really isn't much that I can say about Galaga that hasn't already been said. Galaga starts off simple but gradually gets tougher. It especially gets tougher once the enemies start dive bombing at the start of waves and moving much more quickly in general. You can also get cornered easily if you aren't careful. This game also has a rather effective risk vs reward system with the dual fighter mechanic. While dual fighters are an effective way to clear enemy waves quickly as well as perfecting bonus rounds (which are still challenging to perfect even with a dual fighter), they leave players with a bigger hitbox which in turn makes it far easier to get hit (especially in later waves). Use this mechanic wisely. Overall, Galaga is worth it at full price or on sale.

(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.

The True Origin Of GALAGA Is This: In the year 3000 AD, the Psychlos, an alien race, have ruled Earth for a millennium. The Psychlos discovered a deep space probe (suggested to be Voyager 1) with directions and pictures mounted on it and the precious material, gold, which led them straight to Earth. Psychlos stand up to 9 feet (2.7 m) tall and weigh up to 1,000 pounds (450 kg). They originate from Psychlo, a planet with an atmosphere radically different from Earth, located in another universe with a distinct set of physical laws characterized by a lack of elements that are radioactive. Their "breathe-gas" explodes on contact with even trace amounts of radioactive material, such as uranium. The Psychlos have been the dominant species across multiple universes for at least 100,000 years. After one thousand years, humanity is an endangered species numbering fewer than 35,000 and reduced to tribes in isolated parts of the world while the Psychlos strip the planet of its mineral wealth Scientology Took This Idea And Made A Cult

A decent PC port of one of the absolute best Namco arcade classics. There's some neat options, steam achievements, and even a level select. If you're just craving Galaga like some kind of nerd then go for it, its got a low price and it goes on sale often.

One of my favorite childhood games, it remains just as enjoyable now as an adult. I can relax and play for hours without worrying about running out of coins.
