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 CONTRAGASM, BUY G WARRIOR HERE: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2710290 I hope that everyone who reads this review will send reports asking to remove this product!
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, lol.

在galactic vanqlard里拿起经典的小米加步枪,借助途中的增益和各种地形创造优势,以完成不可能完成的任务--一人在戈壁荒野,火山险地,科幻基地中干翻异星入侵者。音乐方面整挺好,能有回忆杀的效果;其它方面呢还有很大提升空间,虽然是老式玩法,也希望能整点花活出来比如肉鸽关卡的顺序,地形随机等。加油,你的每一分钟付出,我们都有目共睹。
[h1]魂斗罗青春版[/h1] 但凡是有点情怀的玩家都能从商店页面的宣传图一眼丁真:这不就是《魂斗罗》的样子吗? 事实上是,但也不完全是。 受限于制作经验和独立游戏的成本,本作在内核上确实是魂斗罗的基因,但是实事求是说也有诸多需要改进和优化的地方。 具体来说,游戏同样采用关卡制,关卡之间的地形差异很大,但单个关卡的流程不长,就是经典的清小兵+打BOSS。有别于魂斗罗的一个重要方面是角色的跳跃,他没有前者那么丝滑。虽然跳的还挺高挺快,但感觉就比较硬。每个关卡都有独立的7条命(没错,人头是依据关卡单独计算的),可以击杀指定的敌人换弹(霰弹、火焰喷射器、激光啥的都有),同样的增强子弹无法带到下一条命,且用且珍惜。 总的来说核心玩法是没什么问题的,玩起来也很有复古游戏那纯正的味道,13.5元的首发价更是交个朋友了,喜欢此类童年向游戏的玩家可以无脑入。 最后是提一些关于游戏当前版本的建议: 1.游戏中途无法暂停,至少我没找到。 2.虽然可以无限接关,但不支持选关,真的没有秘籍之类的吗? 3.有大量的怪只有个阴影,甚至连阴影都没有。感觉有点抽象,是为了制造更多的初见杀吗? 4.角色复活后的落地点非常有问题。极有可能会出生在危险地带,造成方生方死的窘境。 5.第二关有些BUG。一是人物死后会直接消失在屏幕一段时间,然后玩家可以拖动画面前进直至复活的人物出现;二是开头的那条龙,之前发导弹还有预警,但在某次更新后无了,就挺郁闷。 6.不支持手柄(但按键不多,可以映射),也没有成就系统、云存档,希望能加上。 [quote]关注「 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42276832//]鸿源鉴游组」 [/url] [/quote] [u][b] 会当逢佳游,始可见鸿源。 [/b][/u]

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. Shooting feels responsive, and enemy behavior is tuned to keep pressure on the player without becoming overwhelming early on. As the campaign progresses, enemy patterns grow more aggressive and varied, forcing players to react quickly and prioritize threats in real time. The moment-to-moment action is fast and punchy, with a strong sense of rhythm as players dash, jump, and fire in constant motion, making each stage feel like a condensed burst of adrenaline rather than a drawn-out slog. Weapon variety is one of Galactic Vanguard’s most engaging features, providing meaningful changes to how encounters unfold. Different firearms offer distinct firing patterns, damage types, and tactical uses, encouraging experimentation rather than reliance on a single dominant option. Some weapons excel at crowd control, while others reward careful aim or positioning, and swapping between them mid-combat can dramatically change the flow of a fight. This variety becomes especially important during boss encounters, which serve as the game’s most memorable highlights. Bosses are visually imposing and mechanically demanding, often filling the screen with attacks that require careful movement and pattern recognition. These encounters test everything the player has learned so far and deliver a strong sense of accomplishment once overcome, reinforcing the game’s old-school roots. Despite its retro leanings, Galactic Vanguard does a commendable job of remaining approachable. Difficulty ramps up gradually, allowing players time to adjust to new mechanics and enemy types before pushing them harder. While the game can be challenging, especially for those unfamiliar with classic shooters, it rarely feels unfair, as success depends more on player improvement than random chance. Levels are concise but densely packed with action, which helps maintain a brisk pace and makes repeat attempts feel manageable rather than exhausting. This structure lends itself well to short play sessions while still offering enough depth to reward players who want to master its systems. Presentation plays a crucial role in maintaining immersion, and here the game delivers a cohesive audiovisual experience. The pixel art environments are varied and expressive, shifting between different planetary settings that help keep the campaign visually fresh. Explosions, enemy deaths, and weapon effects are punchy and satisfying, reinforcing the game’s emphasis on kinetic action. The soundtrack complements the gameplay with energetic, sci-fi-inspired tracks that heighten tension during combat and boss fights, while sound effects provide clear feedback that makes every hit and dodge feel impactful. Together, these elements create a polished atmosphere that enhances the overall sense of intensity. Overall, Galactic Vanguard succeeds as a focused, no-nonsense action shooter that understands its strengths and delivers on them confidently. It doesn’t attempt to reinvent the genre, but instead refines familiar ideas with solid execution, responsive controls, and a strong sense of pacing. For players who enjoy classic run-and-gun experiences, or those looking for a tightly designed indie shooter that respects retro traditions while remaining accessible, Galactic Vanguard offers a rewarding and consistently engaging experience. It stands as a clear example of how a small-scale project can still deliver memorable action when its design priorities are sharp and its mechanics well considered. Rating: 6/10
还是标准的魂斗罗的味道
像啊很像啊,画面的第一感觉就是像魂斗罗。玩了玩还是不错的,就是我太菜了容易寄,希望能设计点更多武器更多关卡就更好了
