I don't read Cyrillic and the devs couldn't be bothered to do a full translation to English. And really, you couldn't include a radar?! wouldn't be shocked if this were an asset flip.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very repetitive, and very boring. UI is lacking, "gameplay" is utterly mindless, there's little to no indication you're hitting something until it dies, and the display screen in the cockpit view is a static image unrelated to the game. Over half of the "reviews" share the same stilted structure and flowery descriptions, even for features not in the game; they feel like AI bots or bought from a marketing site. I got this in a bundle that was 92% off; now I see why. Not worth your time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would rate this as more of 3 out of 10 if I could. It's not the worst thing I ever played, but far from the best. Gameplay is super repetitive, but not entirely mundane. There are a couple of different attack options (nuke is kind of cool), but attacking and maneuvering feels really clunky in general. If you play it right, you can get pretty good at it, but it's easy to get blasted to smithereens if you advance too quickly. So, no real sense of speed, nor do you have any capacity to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →IF YOU'RE READING THIS, DON'T BUY THIS PIECE OF DOG'S (you know the sequel). It's a total failure; all the positive reviews are fake. I don't even know where to start because everything about it is bad. It looks more like a student project than a real game. The game's interface is terrible. During gameplay, the health and armor levels cover an important part of the screen. The gameplay itself is meaningless: fly, shoot. The controls are average at best, but the behavior of the enemies,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was bored by mission 2. Very repetitive. Only pro - Nice graphics in background. Mission intros are boring and cant be skipped.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not a bad game, it's a space shooting game in space, I recommend it to kill time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →please add VR mode
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Wraith of the Galaxy looks great but feels repetitive and bland. Controls are clunky, missions lack variety, and enemies get boring fast.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Wraith of the Galaxy is a cool space shooter, where we can destroy rocks, enemies and almost planets. Graphics is very good, gameplay too. If you like space theme, you should give this game a try.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a shame there's no combat like this in the Space Rangers game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fairly good game about beautiful and interesting space. Here you will have to destroy your enemies on a spaceship. I recommend the game for purchase!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A dynamic space fighting game where you need to destroy the enemy as soon as possible. For those who like to shoot, it will go at a discount.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cosmic survival to the death - either you kill or get killed. Trade, space exploration. Good graphics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a great fighting simulator to stretch your arm and practice tracking
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2/9 shouldve used a third nuke lmfao
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Wraith of the Galaxy has good graphics and sound effects, but the gameplay can get repetitive and boring after a while. Also, the storyline is unoriginal and lacks depth. The game has potential but needs improvement in its mechanics and storytelling to make it more engaging.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Destroy all the enemies that get in the way and explore new planets. We are waiting for the completed version of the game from the developers.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →... difficult ... ...but I tried... ...I like it... Looking forward to the full version
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Promised cosmic horror but delivered a tedious slog. Clunky controls, repetitive quests, and lifeless characters drain all immersion. The story drowns in generic sci-fi tropes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A wonderful game with nice graphics that is perfect for relaxing after work.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Wraith of the Galaxy offers a fresh and ambitious take on the space action RPG genre, blending fast-paced combat with deep exploration and a rich sci-fi narrative. From the outset, the game immerses players in a vast galaxy teeming with mystery, danger, and opportunity. With its sprawling open-world design, players are encouraged to chart their own course, taking on missions, upgrading their ship, and engaging in intense dogfights with a variety of alien threats. The blend of RPG elements…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting game with potential, good graphics and cool sound effects
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wtf is this lol
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is AMAZING! I definitely recommend buying it. I got from a LEGENDARY!!! key and it is absolutely AMAZING! Spend all of your money on this game it is worth it trust me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is interesting and dynamic. The combat system is decent, but sometimes the controls can be frustrating.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They added a timer to the menu, to make sure you're REALLY ready to quit
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Wraith of the Galaxy is a third—person space fighting game. Aliens have taken over outer space to conduct experiments on entire planets. Destroy them or they will destroy you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I respect that this took time to make. It took exactly the amount of time of one student course in game programming. I had to re-launch the game to get enough time in it to write a review. Alt-F4 is the only keybind you'll need. This is not a product for market.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game, of course, can get tiring, but you can kill some time in it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm like a drone in outer space took the fight with the alien horde.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Wraith of the Galaxy - is a third-person space fighting game in which you have to destroy the aliens that have taken over the entire outer space. 6 interesting missions in which you have to enjoy space views, test different weapons and most importantly - destroy a lot of different space enemies.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, now add multiplayer please
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is difficult to understand without a proper tutorial, the controls are strange, and you have to watch the same cutscene too often after dying. The gameplay feels repetitive, and the sense of direction is lost due to the lack of proper navigation
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The graphics are weak, the controls are confusing, and the missions are repetitive. The ships lack character, and the game becomes boring quickly.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fake game with fake positive reviews. Do not buy even for $1. I received this as a gift from clueless relative along with other "games" from Quacky Games / Whale Rock Games and all of them are the same slop, waste of money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A large number of levels and different tasks for each of them. I liked blowing up monsters and shooting asteroids
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Offering an immersive adventure, 'The Wraith of the Galaxy' plunges players into a captivating cosmic setting. The gameplay is defined by its high-octane dynamics, delivering a consistent adrenaline rush through thrilling space combat and engrossing starship navigation.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Horrible game. Controls bad, graphics bad, is that even I game? You cannot abort the really long tutorial intro, which you have to endure every time you try it again. Without doubt, this is the worst "game" I have ever played in the last 10 years.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not bad for a space game, controls and VFX are polished, gameplay needs more purpose but id recommend it for the sale price
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is clearly worth the money, I love everything related to space, the graphics are at a very good level
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't particularly like games about space. But this game changed my view on such games, it’s quite exciting to fly and shoot at enemies, destroying their ships! You can spend a couple of hours
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good fighting game in space, it looks like some games about space. If multiplayer were added here, it would be very cool and awesome for the game and especially for the players.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool space game, amazing atmosphere and cheerful gameplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LOVE SPACE GAMES <3 Indie? NO. INDIES! like
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →KEEP CALM AND FIRE! FIRE! DUDE! FIRE!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →#loveindiegames <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →EVE online only without boring tables.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →К сожалению, эта игра оказалась сплошным разочарованием. С самого начала меня неприятно удивила крайне неудобная система управления — персонажи двигаются рывками, а реакции на команды запаздывают на несколько секунд. Графика выглядит устаревшей даже для мобильных устройств: текстуры размытые, анимации примитивные, а цветовая палитра унылая. Сюжет абсолютно не цепляет — шаблонный сценарий с предсказуемыми поворотами и картонными персонажами. Диалоги написаны сухо и неинтересно, мотивации героев…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A space shooter without unnecessary mechanics. Shoot, fly, and destroy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I gave this game a fair try but after 10 minutes and trying three different levels, the experience was pretty dull. The gameplay loop is bland and repetitive, and the interface is quite barebones. As other reviewers have mentioned, many of the positive reviews seem quite generic and look fake. The game feels more like a student project than a finished product worth selling.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like it its kind of like Star Fox 64. I hope they finish the game its really nice from what I got out of it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprisingly fun space shooter! The controls feel responsive once you get used to them, and the battles can get really intense. I love the atmosphere and visuals — they make exploring the galaxy exciting. Missions are varied enough to keep things interesting, and it’s satisfying to upgrade your ship and try new strategies. Definitely worth giving a shot!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A pure, fun arcade space fighter. The missions are packed with action, and the weapon variety keeps the combat fresh
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is super fun. I like flying around in space and fighting aliens, feels awesome. Graphics are cool and controls are easy. Been playing for hours and still enjoying it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing space game! Control of the ship, beautiful graphics, an exciting story and a great soundtrack — everything is on top!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An exciting, immersive space adventure with stunning visuals and engaging gameplay
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, at least unlike Starfield this game runs on my PC
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good dizzying space fighting game, graphics are not bad, everything is at a high level
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun shooter, bright visuals and easy controls, I love this game:)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A dynamic game about space, in general, flying and shooting at asteroids and planets is a pleasure
