    This game (on Switch) was big disappointment for me. Mission are repetative without any invention, but that would be still good if you take nice graphic and price in consideration, unfortunatelly authors tried to replace fun with meaningless amount of enemies followed by very boring explore of restricted areas.

When i realize, that ordinary bandit has literally hundred times more ships available than military, spawning without any concept just to made fight annoying, all fun was gone.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I couldn't make it very far in this game. The story is fluff. The game world is drab. The action is fine but extremely short-lived as compared to the painful grind of the exploration missions. This game is mostly flying around broken-up spaceships for 20 minutes trying to find parts or materials just so you can continue to upgrade your ship for the next 2-3 minute dog fight.… Expand

    The previous games were great.. open world , trade, freedom and no **** grinding for getting new spaceships. This is linear game and so boring.

    I played galaxy on fire 1&2 on ios/android so loved the franchise. Hearing it was coming on switch excited me so. knowing they changed developers made me weary but the reviews online said its still enjoyable.... Such youtubers won't be trusted again. This game is boring, not the same fun, shooting game with side jobs and rogue elements. It's just such a downgrade.

This game is boring, not the same fun, shooting game with side jobs and rogue elements. It's just such a downgrade. It didn't have to be the same game as the phone game but it doesn't add anything unique, challenging or fun. Nothing kept me engaged you are just shooting lasers...... even upgrading your equipment is lazy. Such a lazy disappointing game. I'm glad I got it on sale just a waste of monies.… Expand

    Manticore: Galaxy on Fire is a space action game where we have to accomplish assignments in a mercenary corps, leaving the story in the background. Its direct action, a decent gameplay and good visual fluidity are the only things that can be highlighted in a title that ends up becoming repetitive and cold in most of its aspects.

    If you were hoping for the new Star Fox or Eve Valkyrie, this isn't it. Instead, its the only game I've ever played that managed to make shooting lasers in space boring.
