Galaxy Champions TV is a fun and addictive twin-stick shooter that successfully captures the chaotic essence of classic games like Smash TV, with tight controls and a variety of weapon upgrades.
The game features a solid upgrade system that allows players to choose between different enhancements after each level, adding a layer of strategy to the gameplay.
With its low price point and engaging gameplay loop, Galaxy Champions TV offers a satisfying arcade experience that is perfect for quick gaming sessions.

The game suffers from visibility issues during intense action, making it difficult to track the player's character and incoming projectiles amidst the chaos on screen.
Despite its fun mechanics, the game is relatively short, with only a few levels and limited content, leading to potential repetitiveness after a few playthroughs.
Co-op play is hampered by a lack of a revive mechanic, which can lead to frustrating experiences when one player runs out of continues.

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious due to a lack of content and unclear mechanics, leading to frustrating experiences, especially on the second planet where visibility issues hinder gameplay. While some players noted that grinding can be necessary for progression, particularly on the last planet, the overall sentiment is that the reliance on grinding detracts from the enjoyment and variety of the game.
- “Not enough content, can't see what's going on when things get busy, and the second planet is even worse. It's too often I'm hit by something without any indication as to what hit me, making it too tedious to 'git gud'. There's no indication of what 'champions' does, and the tiny bit of RNG does not add enough variation to make the game fun to play for more than about 5-10 minutes.”
- “This is relied on as a crutch by too many games, and just makes the runs a lot more grindy.”
- “The last planet, though, at least for me, required a bit of grinding to max XP and trying many times, but eventually I got in the zone and got it.”
humor
