Galaxy Invaders for Pc

Ok, first: I can guarantee most of these reviews are from early on in the game right after you beat an easy boss within the first 20 levels. After that, things start to get hard. Like, Sonic Unfair *really* hard kind of hard. You need extra lives and upgrades, but only a couple are free a day, so after the first 20 levels, it’s strictly pay-to-pay. And I don’t mean $5-10 either. To get to level 60, I’ve shelled out more money on this game than perhaps any other game ever—like $75–no joke (“I have a good job; what the heck, why not?”). At this point I’ve realized what was supposed to be a little fun stress relief has become a full blown gambling habit. Which is probably why they advertise so many other gambling games! Get ready to watch a ton of ads! If you have an even less addictive personality than me, you might be able to play 20 levels and walk away, and it will be amusing (hence 2/5 stars), but I don’t recommend it. You’ll get sucked in and end up spending serious money just to try and finish the game. It’s not going to happen unless you pay for this game many, many, many, times over. Stay. Away. P.S. Even the pictures shown of the game are not actual screenshots—they’ve been doctored. So much about this game is deceptive.

Endless difficulty continually increases even tho ship level remains the same, and the bullets move even faster than they were put update. I understand added challenge, but I used to be able to make it from 31-51 every once in a while, and rarely got even farther (that was fun, difficult was good). Now, I'm lucky if I even beat 46 (the new +10 levels for a maxed ship). It keeps getting less and less fun, since the difficult keeps hiking up with no advantage to the player. They even seem to have nerfed ship part drop rates in the packs. Was fun for a small while, at least.

90% of in game ads cause the game to freeze and become unrecoverable. You have to quit out and start over. This is a huge problem and is what ultimately made me move on to someone else’s game. Free to play means mandatory ads. I’m actually very cool with that concept. It’s like TV. You get entertainment and you pay for it by watching ads. But when the ads make the game unplayable it’s a non starter. Some games do that by putting an ad between every level, this one does it by not having a good and stable advertising platform. Game itself is one of the most fun alien shooters I’ve ever seen. Which makes this horrible flaw even sadder.

One of the best shooters in the App Store, until this most recent update. Now the game crashes after every ad and needs to be restarted with complete loss of anything gained. I hope they get this fixed soon, because as far as the game is concerned, it’s one of the best. Graphics are sharp and smooth, the gameplay is not so “busy” that you can’t tell what’s going on, and the different challenges make it great. If they can stabilize the ad platform, this would get 5 stars.
