    Galak-Z: Variant S is a nice freemium take to the original roguelike shooter experience developed by 17-Bit, with lots of very challenging missions, upgrades and enemies.

    It’s not an automatic game, where you can press ”autoplay” and it plays for you like the new pokémon spin-off, which is good. There is some actual skill involved and you have to be either really good or grind for gear to beat harder levels.

    There is online play but it’s not real time, instead you pick three of your ships to defend. Some other player will then attack your ships who are controlled by AI. You attack other players three AI-controlled ships.
