    Challenging but immaculately calibrated controls power an exciting and enormously rewarding sci-fi roguelike.

    If you enjoy looking beyond the familiar and putting a bit of time in, you’ll find that Galak-Z is a well-crafted game that stands apart from its inspirations.

    Galak-Z is a spectacular and fun shooter that perfectly mimics the mecha anime genre. Conceived to be a tough roguelike challenge, the game delivers an interesting gameplay mix of spaceship and mech combat.

    Galak-Z The Dimensional offers spectacular space fights with a satisfying roguelike experience. It is a pity the roguelike elements disappear more and more into the background when the game continues, and that the environment is the same everywhere, but other than that this is a good space experience.

    It’s a fun little shooter with some good replay value trying out different weapon configurations and finding all the blueprints. It’s a tad short for the price in terms of its main story, but the nature of the game means it’d be easy for 17-Bit to add extra content in the future to keep it fresh.

    Galak-Z is clearly designed for players who enjoy a challenge, and it offers an impressive mix of frantic combat, long-term planning, tactical planning and anime-inspired looks that will appeal to a lot of fans of the rogue-like genre.

    Galak-Z is a smooth, polished and compelling arcade shooter that trades in tension and tactical awareness rather than screen-clearing power-trips. The randomised structure adds just enough unpredictability that it’ll stay on my hard drive until I’ve managed to beat it at least one more time.

    It's not a "worst game ever" review but for me the experience it's just not enough to be a positive one.
    Probably recommended to top-down shooter enthusiasts with few years on their shoulders.    … Full Review »
