Galaxy Attack: Alien Shooter Reviews

by Sb36pats

If you’re looking for a game to play that is legit without any hacks or cheaters. I WOULD NOT PLAY!!! This game. If they got rid of the hacks and cheaters it would be really fun to play like it was over a year ago. The game has gone downhill since e then cause the developers of the game can’t figure out how fix any problems within the game. They do an update almost everyday which fixes one problem then creates two more. They add stuff to game and give out crappy prizes. I’m not saying this just to say this. I’m saying it because I have and many others have said it.

The customer services is the worst there ever was in the game besides GOW. The gifts for the codes are useless. Yes they tiny gift will help out the very small player like the beginners, but even that won’t get to far.

The game focuses on how much they can do and pretend to help out. The developers of this game are getting shammed by all the hackers and cheaters in the game. Many have complained but nothing is being done. Other than the executives, developers or whatever you call the crooks going on vacation for a couple weeks and putting out a post saying we will be off for vacation. Now when they are not on vacation you can’t get a hold of them. The customer service is a 1 and that is 1 being low and 10 being high. And 1 is being nice.

When I started it was ok. I won some, I lost some. Now, you can only play super league twice a day. They force you to play free league and I’m constantly going against people with better ships and upgrades. You have to fight the aliens and sometimes 3-4 attacks from opponents at the same time! It’s like putting a teenager in the cage with a pro MMA fighter. It don’t stay fun long, you get what I’m saying? Now I’m definitely not the best player, even if I was fully upgraded, but I can promise you this...in an even playing level I would be winning more than I am now which is about 10% of the time. Even in free leagues, if you’re against someone who doesn’t have upgrades it’s like 8 times out of 10 they immediately get their most powerful ship and I get the two least powerful until like wave 9 or 10. By that time you can’t catch up if the player is good enough. I hate to delete this game because I actually just spent real money on it just to buy one ship. But I’m gonna. I’m so done I just want everyone else to know, you cannot compete unless you spend money. I repeat, you cannot compete unless you spend real money or deal with losing for 10 years to finally upgrade some stuff to get to where you can compete. My only hope in winning free league is if one of the other opponents quit or is killed early or if my teammate has lots of upgrades and attacks them and then I just ride my teammates coat tails to victory. It just gets old.

Why can’t you fix the complaints of your customers? People pay for something and expect it functions as it should yes? Want a lesson on how to lose customers? Stop asking for sympathy.
So just small run down- Pvp-timers are better but still not correct and still cheat by rolling back a visible win. Maybe it only happens to me. 😉Useless Expert items you have customers chasing down that dont seem to work- AMPLIFIER, have never seen it light up or function not once. Describes it as power less than 5. Even at power 3 it never lights up. HEADHUNTER-this is always lit up but does nothing. SCAVENGER-same as AMPLIFIER-never lights up even at 11/15. PHOENIX-yeah, not really worth the squeeze either. Does little to nothing. Why make these so difficult to own when they are so useless ABI? Make them function. Flying right through items and prizes all the time-but those bombs and bullets never miss-even the invisible ones. MASTER SURVIVAL-isn’t this supposed to present useful prizes through the match? And further if you win twice in a day 2/2 bonus prizes too? Have never received this. Can you make this work also? I mean you do advertise it after all. Fix your game already. Make it work, be fair, balanced and no money farming and you will be successful.

I have spent more money on this game than I really want to admit over the last several years. I received a message a few weeks ago that I was cheating in some way. This was absolutely false. It said if you wanted to dispute it, follow the FB link it connected you to. I provided screen shots, all of my history and advised them to check my account. I also asked for a refund for things I had paid for that was taken due to time outs, freezing and other issues on their part. To which I have received ZERO response. After about 3 days without a response from them, I was locked out of all PVP matches and online play. So, I sent a message regarding this. Again, no response. They have no problem taking your money for all of the in app purchases, but are lousy with customer service. I have requested a refund for ALL money spent on/within GalaxyAttack due to the issue of my game no longer working. No response. Now, I will go to the Apple/ITunes and keep working up the chain. From what I understand, this happened to a lot of people. Not just myself. I just contacted them way before most others. This was my favorite game to play while my grandson was napping. I have lost tons of money and time. You spend so much time working on your ranking. 3 years or more from me. All to have it GONE with NO communication from app owner or anyone else from their team.

This game is really fun and you are able to play without spending money but it would be nice if the other ships in the game weren’t $30 and $50, yes those are the prices, I’m sure the developer would make waayyyy more money dropping these to affordable prices. Way more people would buy(why do you think Walmart is so popular do you know how much they make a day?) for every 1 $30 purchase you could probably have like 20+ $5 purchases. Would be way more fun if I could enjoy the pay to play aspects too. UPDATE: the shield does nothing. You get a little shield thing you can select at the beginning of a level and all it does is lag out your game for like 2 seconds. It occasionally shows up, at random intervals, and just lags everything. It doesn’t even protects you I got hit with a middle and died. Also I’ve hit a level where I simply cannot beat it no matter what I do. It’s as though they designed it to only be beaten with the ships you have to buy, which are still way too pricey. UPDATE: the new update messed up the game. It’s now laggy constantly, no it’s not my phone it’s played this game perfectly fine till now also my phone is new, and if you try to resurrect by watching an ad the ad doesn’t resurrect you it just asks you to watch another ad and freezes. I literally got killed by nothing in a meteor level where the meteors didn’t even come near me.

This game could be 5-star; and it used to be. It’s fun and very addictive. However, the developers are so focused on making money that they have ruined the game with their updates. Rather than fixing bugs, their updates add more features that attempt to coax players into paying real money to be able to complete the game. The worst update of which was the ENERGY UPDATE, that now requires players to pay energy to play single player, which used to be free. Players are given a set amount of energy each day, but must pay if they want to play endlessly, like before this update. Everything valuable in the game takes crystals to our buy; crystals are impossible to gain in large amounts unless players pay real money to buy them. Unlocking a new IN-GAME SHIP COSTS $30-$50 DOLLARS! That’s outrageous! Often, when players do purchase things, they are given nothing or LOSE THEIR PURCHASES when they make updates. Customer service auto replies and fixes some things, but they fail to follow through on about 90% of requests for reasonable refunds - that is unless the person complaining has opened a case with Google Play first! ABI has got to be the greediest game development company that I have ever come across in my entire life. Believe me when I tell you that, in this game, the richest person wins. Games should be about skill, not money.

When I first downloaded this game it was phenomenal. So many different modes to play and ways to upgrade. Now it just keeps getting worse and worse after the updates. First off you need materials (crystals) to upgrade your more powerful ships. The only way to get those crystals are by paying an obscene amount of money or battling someone else for theirs. It used to be 7 crystals for a “super” battle and you had unlimited play. Now it’s 4 crystals and there is a cool down period that stops once you exit pvp mode. Not only do you need the crystals to upgrade ships you need them for opening chest to get different materials to upgrade your ships. It just seems Lomé the ya re doing everything in their power to make you pay $40 for 300 crystals to get a chance for the things you need to progress. You also need to spend money to move up into VIP. There are 12 levels of VIP. If I’m not mistaken you need to spend $100+ to get to VIP 12. This is starting to get ridiculous.

Edit to review: it is nearly impossible to advance in the game without spending money. Especially with the skins that send obstacle to an opposing playing during PVP. Unless you pay for those upgrades it’s almost impossible to spend enough time on the game to acquire those upgrades. It keeps getting worse.

by Jefftuel86

I like this game well enough, and haven’t experienced most of the bugs that are reported on here (although I’ve never tried to actually purchase anything with real money). I would have given it four stars, but had to give it two now that this last update completely broke the game for me.

The four star review would have said that this game is a lot of fun and doesn’t have a lot of needless stuff to make it confusing like some of the other similar games I’ve tried. However, there are a LOT of ads. And a lot of them are pop ups for the game wanting you to buy/unlock stuff for $100!! The unlocks in this game are way, WAY overpriced. I can honestly say I probably would have bought several things on here if they weren’t overpriced so incredibly badly. I’m talking like the cheapest pop up I’ve seen was about $30 to unlock a ship. It’s ridiculous.

This rating, unfortunately, dropped down to two stars today. The update that released a few hours ago made it to where I can’t see the sides of the game on my iPhone X. I think the developer tried to make it work on the X, but instead of making GalaxyAttack longer for the new screen, he just zoomed in and now you can’t see everything. I tried to contact the dev and nothing. And the link provided here in GalaxyAttack Store goes to a web page that isn’t even running. There’s literally no way to contact him, so I hope he sees this review.

I’ve played this game for a few years now. In the beginning it was challenging, fun and rewarding. Using skill and technique to advance in levels and ships; however now it’s become too hard to advance and win in any way, shape or form without spending lots of money. This is especially hard during a pandemic where not everyone has the luxury to spend extra money to advance. At the very least you should allow skins and upgrades and crystals be available on an open market forum utilizing coins rather than players income. In addition: for PvP adding the little ships that create challenges each stage has made it even more difficult to advance ahead; especially since PvP seems to always match one with another player leaps and bounds ahead of oneself in level and combat fire.
This game wasn’t always like this- it used to be fun. Addictive. Happy. Now with all the issues, problems, money hungry add ons the developers have created- it’s become frustrating and tiresome.
It feels like this game is only for those who have extra money to blow- not for the loyal, hardworking players such as myself. I know I’m not the only person with these exact same complaints and yet nothing has been done to fix, modify or change it. Sorta represents the system and reality we live in everyday vs. being the wonderful escape this game once was for players.

by Nsnedegar

I did like this game before the latest update, reminded me of some old school games but this last update has given me nothing but problems. First off the player player mode (when you can get it to work) puts you up against players that have three times as many cp’s as you do with a much better ship so there is no way to win, second if you choose to spin the wheel from the quest screen then you will have to exit out of game to get back to the home screen and you never get your reward for completing that quest and now starting today when I would loose a round I would have to close the game out and restart it just to be able to play again because it would freeze up.

Edit.
Game was actually better with the pvp mode until the latest update, now it tells me that I need to update GalaxyAttack to play in the pvp mode even though it just undated 5 days again and no new updates available. The latest update changed the (endless mode) to now it has levels so it’s not actually endless, it never really let me into the the world boss challenge and the ships that’s have fireballs come out of them makes some of the levels almost impossible to beat, I like a good challenge but some of the things that have been done with this game is ridiculous.

by RocketRG

Very challenging game - fun and even addictive. Excellent graphics and endless variety of enemies. The campaign mode gets very challenging as you advance, but unfortunately, it becomes impossible to advance towards the higher levels unless you either spend money on the game to upgrade your ship’s power, or unless you literally have hundreds to thousands of hours to spend time playing a video game – which no successful business owner does! Lol. Might be a good game for certain millennials who have lots of time to spend playing games. One more comment – the live battles against other players is a great concept, but they ruin this feature by making the battles entirely lopsided, and also by having you mostly play against computers instead of playing real people. So you often wind up getting paired against “people” (mostly computers) who have a ship many times stronger than yours - and they can clear the levels much faster than you or use tricks (called “talents”) to spontaneously destroy your ship and kill you. Therefore, you have almost no chance of winning a significant percentage of those games. It would be like playing chess against your opponent without a queen - or playing a physical sport against an opponent with no arms or legs. A battle, or test of skill, should provide both opponents with the same tools - or at least similar ones. Pretty dumb concept.

You will never see more flags for countries that you’ve never heard of, each representing players with VIP status in the double digits, than when you play this game. Apparently the economy is strong enough in Southeast Asia, or the Horn of Africa, that scores of players can spend upwards of $100 on GalaxyAttack to beef up their fictitious space assault craft that will litter your screen with indelible obstacles and blast your ignorant American backside into oblivion. If only they spent that cash on anti-corrupt campaign funds, or vaccines!

If you are tempted to spend money on this game, and you will be, you will quickly learn that the items you WANT to buy to compete are not eligible for direct purchase (skins, shiny ships, cards) but locked behind achievements that may take three decades to accomplish. So after Vietnam makes your Nike’s, they print $100 Apple gift cards, and time travel into the future where high-tech AI has enabled their avatars to grind through unreachable achievements, all for the purpose of intergalactic dominance in a fake telephone game.

The mechanics are mostly crisp... challenging but enjoyably time-eating in single player modes.

The game has a lot of the features you would expect from a space shooter, but also a lot you would expect from a f2p game. As far as the gameplay goes, it’s much like most other f2p games, since the difficulty and “grinding” aspect increases way too fast. The fun destructible meteor mini levels get replaced with these invincible alien asteroid levels that are just boring. The boss fights go from interesting to aggravating too quickly as well. Enemies shooting heat seeking missiles at you while you are having to dodge 40 other things at the same time. Enemy explosives and attacks that fill 50% of your screen while ALSO shooting smaller ammo at you... essentially making it 100% impossible to avoid being destroyed. There are many times where you won’t complete a level in the 23 seconds for the achievement... simply because the enemies take too long to re-enter the screen. They will seriously drop out of the bottom of your screen and then the screen will be empty for about 7-10 seconds while waiting for them to drop back in from the top. There’s always a meteor or two in the meteor levels that will be just too far to the left or right of the screen so that you can’t destroy them. There are other frustrations but these are some of the worst for me personally.

Please stop taking away turns. You keep limiting— first survival, then the PVP then the against 3. Actually— keep doing it. It will make it easier to delete GalaxyAttack so I can stop spending so much time playing.
I absolutely love this game but it’s really for those who have plenty of $ to toss into it. I don't mind spending a few bucks for a great game but obviously you’re going to lose PVP against those who have paid more in. There’s little skill involved when you’re up against a higher VIP. You're going to be given the lowest of the low end ships repeatedly playing in super league against those who are higher VIP and be prepared to feel very frustrated as you watch the 6 levels needed for the other to win get blown away in no time. Campaign is probably the best to stay in although I loved playing PVP, campaign is at least more skill involved but there are some areas you will find it extremely difficult without a stronger ship. So if you’re patient, you’ll eventually get it, if you’re not— pull out your money!! To the creators — the graphics are beautiful. You’ve done an awesome job. The colors are amazing and the aliens are great. Prettiest aliens I’ve ever destroyed.

I’ve been playing it for about 4 months now. I like the game. There are different modes to make the whole thing not feel like the same over and over again. There is variety. However, when I play PvP (player versus player) I keep getting paired up against other players that are VIPs. I find it unfair. I’m not a VIP (a player that has made a purchase, the more a player spends, the better the benefits). They get advantages to begin with. A non-VIP can almost never win against a VIP. The game keeps track of everyone’s rankings most people on top are all VIPs. I think VIPs should play against each other within the medals/rankings and non-VIPs should play against each other like wise. Otherwise, the developers are forcing players to lose or buy. That doesn’t seem right, if one considers they are getting advertisement money from us. I see a lot ads during my playing time.
Other players have mentioned the options for ships and crystals, etc are pricey. That is very true. One becomes a VIP-1 by spending 99¢, each 99¢ = 1 point. To get to VIP-12, one needs 2000 points. Who spends this money on a game? Much less during a financial crisis

by Ekulknarf

Game is pretty fun, constant stream of fire to destroy swarms of enemies. Bosses are designed well and with enough variations that their reuse is natural and not boring.

Unfortunately, upgrading ships also upgrades game difficulty making the game less fun over time instead of more fun. To provide an example, in Endless mode you can make it through perhaps 50 levels with the first few ships you can acquire. As your fleet grows in power you can approach 100 screens...THEN you cross some invisible boundary and the difficulty of every screen increases. Asteroids begin breaking up into unkillable debris, alien ships explode releasing homing missiles and start shielded dive bomb runs. These difficulty enhancements are great, but the start on the first wave of every mode making it difficult to clear even 50 waves on Endless mode despite substantial investment in improving your fleet.

Highly recommend that these difficulty enhancements be removed from early waves of Endless and Multiplayer. They take a five star game down to three stars in my opinion. A go to diversion has become a frustration not worth continuing since it seems upgrades that should make you stronger, really just improve the enemies.

You keep making it harder and harder to play without spending any cash. I wish it were back to like it was 4 updates ago, without the crappy new stamina feature. You should also not require evolve stones for new skins, doing that was a mistake, because it just keeps getting harder and harder to play, especially as a lower CP player. I do love how much it resembles galaga, too. You, the developers, are also constantly making it harder and harder to farm materials by constantly lowering PVP bet amounts, in crystals, coins, and PVP points. I would also suggest making an open market where you can buy items such as evolve stones, legend tokens, and drone tickets with crystals, and coins. This should be bought from other players, and not from the game. And the players who sold the items on the market should also receive the amount of currency listed for it when it is sold. Please lower matrix ticket costs by a bit to make things more accessible to people who don’t want to spend thousands of dollars on your game, and let us buy unlimited tickets, instead of only ten per day. It takes about 3-4 Months get a ship out of the matrix without spending money every day to get the matrix items. Just lower the matrix item amounts from 40-90 to like 30-80. It just doesn’t make any sense to require that many pieces. Please put the PVP bets back into the game, and raise the amounts back to 30-38 PPW.

I really, thoroughly enjoy playing this game. Even with the tweaks this game needs I still enjoy playing this game. However, correct the few issues I see, and this game would blow others out of the water! I enjoyed Endless mode before it was updated to the Stages version it is at now. Also, occasionally the game freezes during gameplay. This freeze often disrupts a move to evade a missile hit, then upon unfreezing, the move I was in the middle of has been disrupted to the point that it is either no longer in the direction I was moving, or my ship unfreezing is delayed and gets hit by the oncoming missile anyhow. A third issue with the game I have noticed is touching a bonus video after losing all three lives in an Endless mode match is that occasionally the bonus video never displays an X anywhere to close out the ad after displaying. It is not a case of a well placed X either, as in a white one in a white cloud or something similar. I have scoured these ads. In these instances I have had to close out GalaxyAttack completely to get back into the game. Please correct these problems! Thank you!

The game is a fun game with lots of stuff to do between all the different PvP modes, campaign, and daily quests. I would have given it a full 5 stars if I had not encountered some major bugs. The first bug is in pvp mode when I must play against my opponent without receiving any upgrades or power ups the whole time. This not only allows my opponent to get a massive lead but also makes the game extremely frustrating. Thankfully this only happens every so often. The other major bug is when I have played the daily game where you must try to reach the higher level than any other player. I have played this multiple times and have gotten a full 5 rounds farther than any other player but yet do not receive and prize and furthermore I do not receive any ranking. The third and final annoying feature is when you wat to change the starting time of the clan boss but when you do, it says, “Invalid Boss Time”. This is frustrating because the majority of the time the boss starts when I am unable to play and it only lasts for 30 minutes. But even with these periodic glitches I still intend on playing because the game is fun and easy to learn how to play and still requires skill to beat the higher levels.

I didn’t know about this game until my step dad air dropped it to me so I thought oh I guess I’ll check it out so I am pretty easy going when it comes to downloading games because I am always on GalaxyAttack Store looking for something to play so I read some reviews and over all it sounded like a good game from like the 4 reviews that I read. So I started to play the game today and I’m on level 6 and I already have like 14 phases of these Alien things that I have to battle so the phases go up INSANELY and that is definitely something that needs to be fixed. Also every level is the some predictable thing!!! The some thing happens in every single level that I have played. So surely you know the game best fiends I am on like level 14 of that game and their has been something different EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! Now sorry if I get yelled at by the creators for talking about a game that they did not make but I just had to tell the person reading this review that this game is VERY PREDICTABLE!! So if you like to play the same thing over and over and over the pls go ahead and download this game it’s low key made for you but if you like to change things up all the time then pls ignore this game and movie on with life. Over all the game is really fun but just insanely to predictable.

Find game so for. Up to level 35. Only complaint is the amount of ads this games has. Each one is 30 seconds. You literally can’t do anything in this game without an ad. You die, 30 second ad. Need a life 30 second ad. Doing the wheel 30 second ad. All they are trying to have you do is join there monthly subscription for money.
Whomever is the owner needs to calm down with the ads. Have a limit of ads for a day or a month so we can play this game with a lot less disappointment. No one likes ads, especially when your attempting to beat a level your having problems on.
I understand you must make money but come on, does everyone need to watch an ad each time they die or revive. Make your $5 for the month in ads and take it off until the next month. The ads or never ending.

Update November 2020, still ridiculous ads! In game purchases are $15, $30, $50 that’s insane. Apparently the developers haven’t noticed that people pay $30 to $60 for Xbox and PlayStation games. Obviously a phone game is not worth that much for just 1 item. Reduce ads, reduce prices, if you would go down to $5 you would probably make much more. I’m sure I’ll give another review in the future so I’ll be playing and seeing what you change.
