Galaxy Champions TV

1) Can barely see what's happening with all the visual effects and explosions 2) Co-op sucks since once you run out of continues, your partner won't be playing anymore! Didn't see a revive mechanic or something like that

I've played this game on Console and I've played it so much I've almost completed most of the achievements except for the upgrades and beating Nightmare Mode. I bought this game on Steam to support the developers of this game for how captivating it is. It's Smash TV but more. Every victory and every death can be attributed to how you placed your decisions on your playstyle and upgrades. A must play for anyone familiar with the game I mentioned previously. I also recommend playing with a controller if you want to get far faster as the twin stick shooter aspect is easier to replicate on left and right analog sticks.

Perfectly pleasant, bare-bones twin-stick shooter. The weapons are decent enough (good flamethrower!) but everything else is a bit too samey - there are no choices in terms of map progress (and the rooms are largely identical anyway), and neither the weapon pick-ups nor the enemies are visually distinct enough for on-the-fly decision-making. Compounding that is the excess quantity of visual noise - between your weapons, enemy bullets, power ups, XP balls, explosions, and various particle effects, it is hard to keep track of what is happening when the difficulty begins to ramp up. Fun for a quick blast if you're in the mood for a Smash TV clone, but I'd pick it up on discount.

This game is so underrated

Fantastic Smash TV Clone with fun music, tight control and crazy weapons (my favourite part as I am THE biggest sucker for power ups). The dev thought of everything to make it a great playing clone. You can use it a true twin stick, or if you want precise digital control you can use the d pad to move and right stick to fire or any combination of either, including the 4 face buttons as directional fire, i.e. exactly like smash TV on the Super Nintendo. Yes, I have completed the short campaign but I come back for more at a higher difficulty cause it's so much fun to just play through again. I paid a couple bucks for it but even it's RRP of 10.79 AUD (around 7 USD) is entirely reasonable for what's on offer. Unlike many cheap indie releases, this has unlocked FPS and 4K support, so I have it locked to VSync a@4K/144 and there is no input lag to speak of, even with a bluetooth controller, and it plays just right. You can also adjust music and sfx balance where as most cheap releases just let you turn each off or on. So I am able to have the music thumping and still hear the SFX and it sounds awesome. It's not easy btw, I am just honestly good at these kinds of games, but there's e…

There's a great game here but the devs didn't finish it. Not enough content, can't see what's going on when things get busy, and the second planet is even worse, it's too often I'm hit by something without any indication as to what hit me, making it too tedious to "git gud", there's no indication what "champions" does, and the tiny bit of RNG does not add enough variation to make the game fun to play for more than about 5-10 minutes. Not bad for $6 but can't recommend it. Also they claim it's a TV show of brutality, but if you played SmashTV you know this does not have the same kind of brutality that SmashTV does, where you're a human on a gameshow killing other humans, Galaxy Champions TV is too safe to be thematically intriguing.
