This version of the game is another remake by the same author first launched for Windows in 2006 and it is entirely different from his original 1995 version. The DOS Galcon game was first conceived in 1995 by Phil Hassey and in the years leading up to 2000 re-made various times with different browsers versions. Galcon 2, however, I can’t fault since it’s free to play, easy to download, and very easy to get into.Description Galcon is an action-based strategy game, reminiscent of the classic board game Risk, and inspired by Galactic Conquest (1987) and Stellar Invasion (presumably 1986). In my 3-5 hours I did not beat the game and I have no intention of ever beating it. This game series may not be my cup of tea but may be yours. Galcon 2 sits at an absurd 45 megabytes so watch out and don’t go over your data cap.Īs for Galcon Legends It looks like Phil Hassey really tried to expand the brand and provide the kickstarters with what they wanted which is I guess a story version of Galcon? With you not able to get it anymore and with a free to play version easily accessible, there isn’t any reason to even bother trying to find a copy of this game, especially since you can listen to the music on a variety of different platforms. If you were like me and saw the mass amount of ships suiciding into planets really satisfying, do yourself a favor and download Galcon 2 on steam, ios or google play. The touch controls actually felt really nice and it was really easy to select all my planet nodes to do a mass attack. Since Galcon was envisioned to be played against other players more than just AI, I installed Galcon 2 on my phone to try it out (free on your app store). Walter’s AI is dumb and has a certain pattern that you can exploit. It eventually gets to a point where you need to tap into your inner eSports player and just click (or tap) as fast as you can, because any thinking at all is basically you losing. As mentioned earlier, each story AI has a different type of AI pattern at how they challenge you. So if you’re like me and spent 10 bucks on this game when it came out you could still get through the story. Thankfully for Galcon Legends you are able to pick your difficultly. It might be just me, but this kind of game when it gets harder gets a lot less about mind power and more about the Actions Per Minute that you can perform. Don’t stay in space too long or you will start to get a case of giraffe Difficulty to the max They look like a rough draft for a story board and someone just yelled “good enough!” None of them are that enjoyable to look at and just encourages players such as my self to quickly skip through just to get to the gameplay. World map with each mission and what difficulty you beat them at But all in all I skipped through any short dialog that ended up my way as they were all just primers to introduce a new level. Each NPC has a different type of unique ability that you are forced to deal with, such as invisible ships or you can’t see their number totals. Walter not happy with the INTERSTELLER FEED CO-OP ruining his space lifeĮach level you come to has a different character and eventually you get some reappearances when you have to deal with more than one NPC. The “Story”īack to Galcon Legends You play rootin’ tootin’ space sheriff out to collect bounties from random intergalactic characters who put up a fight. I will discuss Galcon 2 more in detail near the end of the post. Instead we are left with a free to play version of Galcon labeled Galcon 2 on all major platforms. I sorta enjoyed my time with the previous title Galcon Fusion so when Legends came out I ended up buying into it but you cannot even buy Fusion anymore as well, probably because they are all basically the same game. Galcon Legends was kickstarted back in 2013 but for some reason you simply cannot buy it anymore. Use the percentage slider on the right to determine how many ships to send out Once a node is at zero you can store your numbers there until further use. When you send your numbers into other numbers those numbers trade one for one until all numbers are extinguished. Galcon the game series is a game where you have nodes of planets that generate numbers and you can select those numbers to battle other numbers. Galcon Legends is a Real-Time Strategy game based on Phil Hassey’s original game Galcon Classic and beyond but more focused on Single Player. Play that game for 3-5 hours accumulated, talk about the game’s core systems and see if it is a game I recommend!įor this weeks VGR I rolled the game Galcon Legends .
