About
Once Upon a Galaxy is a fast-paced, free-to-play card battler of cosmic proportions. Captain a crew of characters from myth and fairytale lore into battle across a spectacular galaxy in search of allies, spells, and treasures to ensure your ultimate victory!

Begin each game by selecting a Captain with its own unique effect.
Will you choose Dorothy to help complete her friends’ quests? Or Dragonmother to discover what hatches from her Mysterious Egg? Play as Indiana Clones to "clone" your best three treasures, or lead a troupe of toys as Geppetto!

More captains are released each month, so there’s always something new to try!

Galaxy features an eclectic cast to help you on your journey. Recruit characters and cast spells each round to prepare for your next challenge. Carefully position your cards while planning your turn—then enjoy their auto-battle against other captains and crews!

Upgrade your crew throughout the game. Character-copies give bonuses and discover powerful treasures. Enhance your board directly to keep buffs as you replace characters. The most powerful cards appear later in the game—find a Legendary crew to help make you the last captain standing!

You can capably lead any odd character, but your most powerful crews will come from smartly-selected synergies. Combine treasure effects with characters’ abilities for powerful outcomes. Leverage powerful character factions, each with their own focus, such as treasure-loving Dragons, spell-enhanced Mages, or Toys which summon additional characters during the fight!

In addition to the common pool of cards you encounter each game, each captain commands its own list of collectible elite characters to customize your plans. Select 12 cards before the game—they’ll be mixed into your card pool to potentially draw!

No timers, no pressure. Galaxy's matchmaking and async-multiplayer mean you can battle fun-but-challenging opponents whenever you want. Face real boards from other human players’ earlier games. Your finished run will join the opponent pool for others to challenge. It's fast, strategic, and endlessly fun!
When you're ready to crank up the intensity, you can play with friends in 6-player live lobbies... warning: live lobbies are the ultimate competitive experience!

While our Steam build is great for the desktop experience, Galaxy is also available on your phone or tablet! With a cross-platform account, you can sync your progress no matter which device you use and so can explore Galaxy on-the-go!

Once Upon a Galaxy is created by Million Dreams Games, an indie studio boasting a talented team. Our leads have worked on iconic games like Magic: The Gathering, Hearthstone, and Runeterra. We’re diehard fans of the card and auto-battler genres.

Its a fun game especially for free. I never felt at a disadvantage for not paying money. If you play a whole lot in a month you get matched vs sweatier players and it becomes less fun but that resets monthly. I highly recommend this game if you are looking for a fun game to play a couple rounds now and then without much investment,
awesome game, can't stop playing, good replayability. predatory pricing though kind of, i just sucked it up and paid since i enjoy the game enough
Just a slot machine experience, very high rng(lose/win coinflip on going first and then watch your quest/hunt minion getting sniped), low decks variance, will be forced to play ♥♥♥♥♥♥ heroes with no cards.(climbed to ~3000+). Its cute and fun to play for hundred of hours but no more than that.

Fun. Addictive. Frustrating to try to get reasonable collections as free to play though.
Fun game with lots of heroes and mechanics.
it has once in the title but you won't play it once no offense Edit - Nvm heroes too imba Second Edit- MAN I WAN'T TO PLAY THIS GAME BUT THE BALANCE IS JUST SO BAD
the most astonishingly free to play friendly game of all time. the amount of characters and content you get from jump is more than enough to keep you entertained for hours. it hits that perfect balance in an auto battler where you have to be intentional and work for your synergies, but once your build gets online it can get uber powerful. of course you'll encounter a lot of other strong builds, but there's a lower rate of just impossible to beat builds compared to similar games like the bazaar or battlegrounds. quick to learn, respects your time, with a pleasing theme and art. definitely worth a download
A simple relaxing game
