Jun 13, 2025Galactic Glitch is yet another fantastic and innovative addition to the twin-stick genre, one that it is fair to say has had a fair few belters so far this year.

Jul 22, 2024Galactic Glitch is a sci-fi-inspired rogue-like that is fun but often cruel. This physics-based experience will test your luck, patience, and skills as you flit from node to node. Moreover, you will have to grind away as upgrades and progress don't come easily.

Jun 2, 2025Galactic Glitch is a twin-stick shooter roguelite in which you control an AI in the form of a spaceship trapped in a corrupted simulation. The gameplay focuses on physics to grab and throw objects, enemies, and projectiles, using mass and inertia for chain attacks, even taking advantage of friendly fire from opponents. Each run allows you to upgrade weapons, ships, and perks, but only after defeating certain bosses. More difficult than average, it rewards skill and perseverance rather than simply farming resources.

Jun 2, 2025Galactic Glitch is a physics-based twin-stick shooter with roguelike progression that impresses above all with its straightforward and fluid gameplay.

Jun 17, 2025A fun, but notably flawed roguelike. Galactic Glitch is worth your time, but it’s hard to recommend for those who dislike any of the genres it takes from.

Jun 17, 2025Some of the power-ups are fun, like spawning small fighters or missiles, but the core loop of Galactic Glitch is simply far too repetitious, the upgrades are too slow, the meta-progression is glacial, and any driving factor to continue is non-existent. The idea could have been fine, but everything previously mentioned needed major overhauls and pretty much could be summed up by "needing cooler stuff faster" at every stage of the game.
