Galaxiga: классический шуте‪р‬ 12+

I am currently in world three after abstaining from making a VIP purchase. As others have mentioned, the coins are virtually useless. The games main currency is gems which help in upgrading your ships. Yet having 4 ships (2 @ 54k + power), various drones(11k-19k power), and stones, it is still a challenge progressing through world three.

For a regular level you can earn 2 gems on easy, 3 on normal, and 5 on hard. For boss levels you can earn 5 gems on easy, 9 on normal, and 15 on hard. This totals 414 gems across one world (30 levels total with 6 boss levels). Now this was plenty while getting through the first world, but made it challenging getting through the second and now exhausting getting through the third.

The problem is the rewards are exactly the same across the worlds, yet the difficulty goes up significantly. I love the game and I enjoy a challenge, but I am not inclined to make a purchase to simply complete the story mode. I will no doubt continue playing, and will enjoy what I can while I trudge along this world. If you’re willing to invest in their VIP starter packs, I think the game should be fairly more do-able and enjoyable.

So, I’ve been playing this game for a couple of months and I have some specific thoughts. This game could have been great, except for some bad design flaws & the ridiculous amount of ads you have to watch.

It’s not out of the ordinary to watch 30+ ads in an hour of playing. Crazy! Add to that fact that a lot of the ads hang the game causing you to reboot. Ads have gotten progressively longer with some being up to 90 seconds in length. That’s nuts!!! You can earn free stuff, but that can take weeks. Greed? Yes! If you choose to make in-game purchases, you can proceed more quickly, but EVERYTHING is seriously overpriced - by a LOT. When you start playing (and trying to earn power) be prepared to get crushed by stronger players. The designers made ZERO effort to balance out the gameplay between the weak & the strong. This can get VERY frustrating at times because you’ll start to ask yourself why are you bothering to play when you have no chance of winning? Finally, on my iPad, the game seems to hang up in the evenings during times of heavy use by players. For goodness sake, invest in some faster servers!!!

Like I said, this game could have been great. It’s too bad the designers were more interested in squeezing money out of their players then actually developing a great gaming platform. SAD

It’s fun at first and you can blast your way through a lot, but pretty quickly it gets almost impossible to beat without spending money. I spent $30 on gems to get the best ship in tier 1 that’s maxed out and STILL it was a challenge. Honestly, most of the “good” ships are absolutely terrible. High damage, but the stupidest fire rate and pattern ever to make it just a pain to use, but you’re basically forced to use them because they have the higher damage you need.

Along with that are the many, many ads you can watch (or are forced to watch) in order to unlock stuff. There’s a ship that’s worth 80 ads and it’s not even that good after a while. It’s just not worth it. There’s so little reward to anything and once you get to the higher levels, you’re not going to win. Period. Unless you spend hundreds of dollars. Spending $30 is already quite a bit and really should be ALL you’re spending total. But $30 gets you nowhere, so I’m deleting this app. I’ll give it 2 stars because it’s fun at first, but it’s a hard nose dive after. I’m sure the developer doesn’t care because they get a fat payday regardless, so best just to avoid this app and get something else.
