Galactic Vanguard (2025)

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! TopGame decompiled the game G WARRIOR (authored by LKK), changed some graphics, added soundtracks from other licensed games (for example, the first level track from the game Shadow Of The Ninja / KAGE, created by Natsume) and posted it on Steam (how could the quality control department allow a stolen project to appear in the store?!)! As the author of the translation of the original game into two languages ​​(Russian and English), I will give several examples of how this game is stolen: 1. TopGame guessed to cut out the cooperative mode for two players, but he did it so crookedly that I was able to activate the second player + the author did not turn on his brain and did not think that the line "1 player" had to be rewritten to "Start" in all language packs (because of which the Russian text in the game creates dissonance); 2. The opening scene was cut, but the game's resources contain graphic files related to this scene from G WARRIOR (including promotional materials and, attention, the LKK LOGO!); 3. The entire core code of the game is completely identical to the code of the original game version 1.0. IF YOU WANT TO GIVE A REAL C…

Alright. This is a topic I normally reserve specifically for my own curator, but [b]I received this license via our IndieGems Curator program[/b], in this instance, which I claimed so I could take a look and compare this game with: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2710290/G_WARRIOR/. I will be posting the curation for this to my personal curator but crediting both curators below. This game appears to be a one for one direct theft of G_WARRIOR. As Ocular Malice points out here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2710290/discussions/0/603026769788809456/#c603026769788844006 There's not even really an attempt to hide it outside of some basic reskins based on my own observations. I'm actually kind of amazed that this developer didn't think anybody would notice, and pretty appalled at yet another example of Valve doing nothing in the way of QA as long as they get that $100 price of entry from a developer. Do not buy this. And that goes for those of you collectors out there who exhibit zero morality on the regular. Don't buy it. It seems you'd just be rewarding a thief for being a thief for the sake of some extra e-peen. Which you could just buy an extender for and hope for the best,…

Galactic Vanguard is a compact yet energetic sci-fi action shooter that clearly sets out to celebrate the legacy of classic side-scrolling run-and-gun games while carving out a modest identity of its own. Developed and published by **Galactic Vanguard** studio **TopGame**, the game immediately establishes its tone through bold pixel art, explosive combat, and an unapologetically retro presentation. From the moment play begins, it becomes apparent that the focus is squarely on momentum and reflex-driven action, with levels designed to keep players constantly moving forward under a barrage of enemies, projectiles, and environmental threats. The visual style leans heavily into bright colors and chunky sprites, creating readable combat spaces even when the screen fills with chaos, and it successfully captures the feel of arcade-era shooters without feeling like a simple imitation. The gameplay centers on straightforward but satisfying run-and-gun mechanics that emphasize precision, positioning, and smart weapon use. Players control a heavily armed space warrior tasked with pushing through hostile alien worlds, blasting through waves of enemies that attack from multiple angles. Shootin…
