What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I aim to actively involve the community in the development to create a better gaming experience. At the end, player feedback is what elevates an interesting idea into a great game. I will also adjust the difficulty level of the game based on player feedback to ensure that the game provides an appropriate challenge.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The release date of Dark Galaxy will be on January 28th 2026!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the full version of this game I plan to implement additional content, including more zones, playable characters, chips, and weapon modules.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version has already three zones in a fully playable state including a variety of enemies, weapons, chips and three playable drones.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“During Early Access, the price will gradually increase based on the amount of content added to the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I have included a link to a questionnaire in the game that you can fill out to provide me with direct feedback. Otherwise you can also sent me an email. I will listen to player suggestions and consider player preferences when making game design decisions. Updates and announcements will keep the players informed about the current state of this game.”

Story

The war began when our galaxy was invaded by an army of insectoid creatures known as the Minaripods. They are an aggressive species driven purely by instinct to eliminate all other life forms. In these dark times, space travel has become nearly impossible, as they generate an unknown dark substance that reduces visibility throughout the galaxy. Minaripods reproduce rapidly, so you have to exterminate them in one go. Fortunately, you have unlimited attempts for this mission. You control your drone safely from afar, far away from the battlefield. Embark on an epic journey to illuminate the darkness!
