The gameplay of "Galaxy Idle Clicker" is characterized by an addictive loop that combines idle mechanics with strategic resource management, making it engaging for extended periods. While the game offers a wealth of progression mechanics and regular updates, some players find the core gameplay repetitive and the initial progression slow, with certain quality-of-life features locked behind premium currency.

The monetization in the game features optional microtransactions that are not required to enjoy the gameplay, allowing players to unlock content through patience and daily rewards. However, many reviews criticize the high prices of these microtransactions, particularly for quality-of-life upgrades, which can create artificial barriers to progression. While some players appreciate the developer's support and the absence of pay-to-win mechanics, the overall sentiment leans towards caution due to the steep costs associated with in-game purchases.

- “The in-game purchases are extremely expensive.”
- “Basic quality of life and automation features are locked behind microtransactions, which feels very scummy.”
- “However, the simple fact that the 'microtransactions' aren't even remotely micro for the type of game this is should make everyone wary about spending anything on it.”

The game is described as highly grindy, particularly in the early stages, where players face significant barriers that require extensive in-game grinding to progress. While some mechanics become automated over time, many reviewers feel that essential quality-of-life features are locked behind paywalls, making the experience feel pay-to-win. Overall, it caters more to players who enjoy idle games that can run in the background, but the grind may deter those seeking a more engaging experience.
- “As for gameplay, the game is fairly grindy, and some of the quality of life features that cost money feel mandatory to make it less so.”
- “The start of the next planet is just stupidly difficult, forcing you to immediately start grinding with zero progress in sight despite having just started the game.”
- “There's a wall you run into once you try to go from the first planet to the second, after maybe an hour of play, which takes approximately 5 hours of in-game grinding to realistically get past.”

The story aspect of the game revolves around completing quests that involve defeating enemies and gathering resources, which initially may seem pay-to-win (p2w) due to the disparity between early rewards and shop costs. However, as players progress, quest rewards significantly increase, providing ample in-game currency through normal gameplay, making monetary investment less necessary. The introduction of a prestige layer further enhances this system by allowing players to reset quests and earn rewards repeatedly.
- “You earn a substantial amount through in-game quests (achieving set goals).”
- “The quests for stuff like 'kill xx amount of enemies' or 'get x amount of a certain resource' start out with something like 5 am as rewards, while stuff in the shop costs thousands.”
- “But that's the thing: later on the same type of quests reward over a thousand am as well.”
- “With the latest prestige layer, these quests reset, allowing you to earn antimatter repeatedly.”

- “It’s welcoming for beginners, with a smooth learning curve that gradually introduces you to optimization tactics and ways to fine-tune your progress.”
- “And unlike most idle games, where you can trigger an epileptic seizure just by looking at your screen, this game allows you to disable certain renderings for greater comfort (or performance), such as pretty much all the main game assets (player and enemy shots, player and enemy canvas, explosions, even the background).”
- “The performance of the game is abysmal, the art is bad, the music is a 6-second loop, the sound effects are piercing and annoying.”
