This is because while fighting it’ll drop a slow moving nuke that explodes the entire screen. There is literally no avoiding or dodging it unless you happen to kill the boss instantly before the nuke is dropped. Mainly you’ll have to upgrade weapon time so that when you grab a weapon before the battle it stays with u. It’s bs that a skill based game like this has a grindy/random component that halts progression. I’ve tried looking up any way to get past it besides cheesing the boss and there’s nothing. ### 2/5 — Ehhh *2026-07-17, version 3.4.1* I was expecting the real one, not some modernized one littered with ads. Please make a classic mode! ### 3/5 — Ok until the ads started. *2026-05-30, version 3.4.1* Then it got bad ### 2/5 — Boomer shooter *2026-05-21, version 3.4.1* Galaga has been surpassed in lightyears by GALAXY ATTACK. Other than experiencing Namco’s dank IP, the game is frustrating to play. Controls are especially because the screen pauses whenever you lift your thumb off the screen. This is annoying to put up with and slows the action. Thus visually, thumb is always getting in the way of enemy shots on the screen. And avoid the big paywall that’s always present here. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ EWAI out ### 2/5 — Ads everywhere *2026-03-27, version 3.4.1* Game has the classic retro classic but my god are the ads overkill! Seems like I spend more time watching ads tha actually playing so I’m giving it a 2 star. Bandai Namco should feel ashamed. ### 2/5 — Probably was good at one point *2026-02-26, version 3.4.1* I think this game doesn’t have any support now. There’s certain points where it forces you to watch an ad but the ad will freeze right at the end so you have to just completely close it out and start over ### 2/5 — Great remake. Horrible function *2026-02-01, version 3.4.1* A classic great game that is ruined by constant ads freezing and loosing your place. What a shame. ### 3/5 — It’s mid *2026-01-25, version 3.4.1* It’s not that good to many ads ### 2/5 — Boo *2026-01-12, version 3.4.1* I paid for the app but still get ads ### 5/5 — Longest running game on my iPhone *2026-01-09, version 3.4.1* I’ve played this game the longest out of all my games. I’ve upgraded ships I’ve bought all the ships. And I always have fun trying to remember patterns and timing my upgrades in battle. Now I feel like they’ve forgotten about us. It’s been months since any real update. Can’t buy new ships. Nothing new added to the game play. Don’t get me wrong I still have a blast but damn can we get something anything new 😔 ### 3/5 — Ship *2025-12-31, version 3.4.1* I had my ship then it some how tuned in to a Galaga ship and it’s bugging me please fix this ### 3/5 — Fix Ad Glitch please🙏 *2025-12-26, version 3.4.1* Royal Kingdom ad keeps freezing the game and I lose my reward 😢 👉(The RK ad forces me into the App Store against my will, then when I go back to the game, it’s frozen and won’t leave the ad screen, so I have to close the game) Otherwise I’m fine activating ads to get double rewards. None of the other ads have this problem…. So far… I’ll give 5 stars afterwards… This is a VERY addictive game for me 👍 ### 5/5 — Pessoal é burro *2025-12-09* Tem um monte de gente falando sobre muito anúncio. É SÓ DESLIGAR A INTERNET!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯A música de abertura é igual ao original e os gráficos são perfeitos. Mas acho melhor diminuir o preço em créditos das naves, já que só tem um por setor a cada 2 h e meia. Tirando isso, o jogo é ótimo! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Beautiful graphic - awful ads *2026-08-06, version 3.4.1* The graphics and gameplay are out of this world. Too bad all the ads ruin the game. Deleted the app after 10 minutes. My time is too valuable! ### 1/5 — Money / Coin Pit *2026-07-17, version 3.4.1* I downloaded this hoping for a modern version of Galaga. Instead, I got a never-ending monetization machine. Every few minutes you’re forced to either watch long ads or spend in-game currency to continue. Then you’re immediately hit with more offers to buy coins, premium currency, coin doublers, and other microtransactions. It feels like the game exists to funnel you into spending money rather than simply letting you play. I wasn’t looking for a casino disguised as an arcade game. I wanted to pay once and enjoy a classic shooter offline. Instead, every death and every new sector is another interruption asking for my time or my wallet. If you enjoy constant monetization, this might be for you. If you’re looking for the simple “insert coin and play” spirit of the original Galaga, keep looking ### 1/5 — Incredibly predatory *2026-07-12, version 3.4.1* This game will find ways and excuses to use your coins, spit ads at you every 60 seconds and also ask you to buy more coins. Awful. ### 1/5 — Could be a great game but…. *2026-07-03, version 3.4.1* Too many ads!!!! How can a person even play? I need a purchase option ### 1/5 — No Ads Free option *2026-05-03, version 3.4.1* Another legacy title filled with Ads and no way to get rid of them and enjoy the games. Instant delete. ### 1/5 — Spam Advertising *2025-12-04, version 3.4.1* Can’t enjoy the game without advertising ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-11-20, version 3.4.1* Bought this app as part of my game centre account to avoid ads but it forces me to watch ads in the game, I will be deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Dumped my ships and upgrades *2025-10-17, version 3.4.1* I haven’t played in a while and logged in again, and my ships were all gone, and my upgrades were all reset ### 1/5 — Amazing but problem *2025-10-02, version 3.4.1* Amazing game but when you warp all the "warp bonus" text covers the screen repeatedly and you can't see the screen properly. Also there needs to be the ability to turn on and OFF some of the upgrades which are more like downgrades (eg coin magnet and the big bomb) ### 1/5 — All ads crash this game *2025-09-16, version 3.4.1* See for yourself ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 강제 종료 에러 *2026-08-04* 최고치 점수에 도달하면 그냥 게임이 강제로 종료됨. 이 무슨 이상한 에러를 만들어놔서 게임 점수 갱신을 할수가 없음 ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-07-10, version 3.4.1* No ads, free gameAnd it is a Great games for kids ### 5/5 — 🕹️👾 *2026-06-29, version 3.4.1* This bring me back to my classic old arcade days. By the way I made a theme called arcade by the way Pac-Man is in Fruit Ninja ### 5/5 — Galaga woes *2026-05-28, version 3.4.1* Bummer I can’t buy ### 5/5 — ドラグーン発信何年後か *2026-05-22* パンパオ！パックマンのコリジョン なおしてください　なお良くしてよ 　　　　　　面白いんだから ### 5/5 — Phone getting hot *2026-05-02, version 3.4.1* Love the game, but needs update. Phone started getting hot while playing! ### 5/5 — Games Lagged/Crash/Stop *2026-03-11, version 3.4.1* GREAT GAME!! I really love it, but every time I used the original spaceship soon or later the game stop and take you to the main menu. ### 5/5 — Help! *2026-02-20, version 3.4.1* I love this game but I can’t close “savage survival” ad to get back to the game. Help!! There is no way (that I’ve seen) to close it, even after I watch it forever! ### 5/5 — ADDS!! *2026-01-30, version 3.4.1* whenever I try to revive my self the add NEVER appears and it jams the sounds but ITS FUN ### 5/5 — Fun time killer! *2026-01-30, version 3.4.1* I gave it five stars, even though the mystery ship has never been released and I doubt it ever will be. I’ve got enough credits and gold to buy it no matter what it cost. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
