In 1981, Galaga was released by Namco as a sequel to Galaxian, from a couple of years before. A shoot-‘em-up featuring starship fighters battling against enemy aliens, it quickly became one of the most successful titles from the golden age of arcade video games. And now, in celebration of 35th anniversary, it has been reimagined for mobile gamers and nostalgic players alike in the form of Galaga Wars.
Watch the trailer
Battle the waves. Just swipe on the screen to move your starship fighter around as it shoots wave after wave of invading aliens. Be sure to evade oncoming blasts and avoid enemy collisions or it's game over.
Double the trouble. One of the trademark aspects of the original Galaga is the player's ability to rescue a captive fighter and merging with it in twin mode to double the firepower against the enemies. And you bet this is incorporated into Galaga Wars.
Conquer the sectors. Travel across sectors by annihilating waves and clusters of enemies, including original ones such as Bee, Butterfly, and Scorpion.
Level up your fighter. Collect coins and power-ups as you go to improve your chances at victory. Upgrading your craft gives you access to unique abilities. Play as Galaga fighter, or choose from iconic starships from other Namco games such as Galaxian, Star Blade, and Xevious.
What is it about?
Galaga Wars lets you swipe on the screen to move your starship fighter around as it automatically shoots and fires at the enemies. But it's not as simple as it sounds, of course. For one thing, enemies come in endless waves and in ever changing clusters. To up your chances of survival, be sure to rescue captured fighters and merge with them whenever you can, and collect coins and power-ups to upgrade your craft.
