Galaga Wars 4+

Galaga is my childhood fav. Laundromats were pretty much Space and time for me. Irrelevant to the point as is this sentence I know, but this game has just pi**ed me off. Very good version of galaga. I was very pleased with it. I even dished out $10-15 for the ships and coins. Then the game gradually showed what it is.... a quick money maker. You have to pay money to unlock more ships.... it’s the only way to keep playing. Loose a ship use a different one until they are gone. You start with one. Normal app stuff really but getting to the higher stages is just not fun. I paid enough to keep trying. This is the only reason I keep it. Still! LOVED the game for a short period. I just typed my first review to get a lil bit more out of it.
Now.... to delete it.

I'm not sure what to think about this one. It's really hard to navigate even for the first time due to the infinite barrage of ads that you can't even buy your way out of unless you subscribe to apple arcade. That's galaga wars+, and after giving this one a chance and not fast travelling, it's totally playable if you can beat the game on one coin you won't get ads! You can also buy a stash of coins for pretty cheap, and it's not a bad game. It's just hard to understand what all's going on but the ads include playable classic schmup games like 1945 and galaxiga, but the dizzying amount of ads and hard to pick up the first time and no way to own the game makes me knock two stars honestly. But I wish I didn't have to. Apple store makes decisions that limit you every time, but I don't blame the game for it. However, it's plainly obvious that the game is heavily biased towards this platfrm because essentially we are stuck with a gacha version that gives you easy or cheap coins but if you were to spend your money you'd be left feeling bad because ultimately there's still ads, and a lot of 'em. With no way to make 'em go away but to get apple arcade... and that makes me understandably annoyed to want to use neither. And it's a shame because whoever developed this game made an okay galaga mobile game that is held back by shady corporate business politics... oh well! If you lose once, you can use the coin. If you lose twice you get the ad lol

Except perhaps for rescued ships leaving on a timer, this Galaga port has everything I could have hoped for in a modernized version of the arcade classic. Finger control on the iPad is excellent (with the possible exception of variations in bonus coin pickup by the different ships between levels). It is challenging, but possible to play totally for free, and as you save up, acquire and max out each of the unique ships, you can enjoy a nice variety of playing styles. Just be patient. I have done so for every ship, have over 300,000 available coins, 2800 warp capsules, and over 2600 replay tokens, and have never spent a dime on the game, not because the pricing was unreasonable, but because I didn't have to! To help provide some financial reward to the developers for their work on this great game, I have watched videos for daily bonuses, but can play entire matches without doing so if the need arises. I daily add 11 replay tokens to my total by playing all 11 levels, a task that normally takes around 15 minutes. My personal favorite ship is Starblade, but I enjoy the variety of options on each of the ships. I look forward to the next ship release, so I can add even more fun to my play experiences. I highly recommend this title!
