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.

Juat a good game, also a great community
I love the themes but don't like that it's a card game, we call these "menu games" where i'm from Starting a new review theme called "Is It A Menu Game?" and yes, this one is a menu game
Tremendous game. Easy to pick up but deep as the ocean. This is a collectable autobattler with some of the best game design I've seen in the last 10 years. This game is mobile friendly and very accessible to newcomers to the genre. For those who are more experienced, Once Upon a Galaxy has a strategic depth and technical complexity that is rewarding. Great indie team and a welcoming community makes this an easy recommendation to anyone.

This is a classic Make Numbers Big autobattler. You'll know if you like those already I assume, but if you do, it's a good one of them.
fun game
Fun game with lots of heroes and mechanics.
One of the most interesting Autobattler/Drafters I have played. Thanks LSV for your videos about this.
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
Already legendary
This game is a lot of fun, though I wouldn't play it on computer. Much better as a mobile game. It is laggy for no reason on PC and all the extra space and how they choose to use it is disorienting to me.
