Story-driven twin-shooter in space
Galaxy Highways is a premium action game from developer Nanopike. It is a sci-fi twin-stick shooter adventure set in the vastness of space wherein humanity is in a fight for its survival against alien forces. Players will pilot advanced spaceships to protect the last remnants of humans left from Earth.
Similar to games like NIMRODS and CyberCorp, Galaxy Highways serves up bullet hell action that will test players' skills and quick reflexes as they dodge enemy fire from all directions. Newcomers can check out the game demo to get a preview of what they can expect from the gameplay in the full version.
Fight for survival
Galaxy Highways takes place in the distant future wherein humanity ventures into the expanse of space using jump gates constructed by a mysterious civilization. However, they encountered hostile alien races that pushed them to the brink of extinction. You are one of the last survivors in the Last Hope colony at the edge of the galaxy and will make your last stand to protect what's left.
The gameplay in Galaxy Highways will revolve around objective-based missions that will have you strike alien bases and steal their resources. Choose from various ships with unique traits and a wide variety of weapons like lasers, rockets, and defense turrets to help you complete your mission. Buy upgrades that enhance your ship's core attributes, and experiment with different load-outs before heading out.
Face waves of enemies of varying sizes and firepower as you attempt to sabotage their plans and prevent them from finding out where your colony is hiding and attacking it. Now, as is the case with these types of games, the difficulty will quickly ramp up, and some players will find it too hard, especially those who are new to the bullet hell subgenre.
A compelling sci-fi shooter
All in all, if you're a fan of bullet hell shooters, Galaxy Highways offers a fun and thrilling ride through space as you blast your way through enemies, load out your ship with all kinds of armaments, and protect the last beacon of humanity in the galaxy. Suffice it to say, it gets an easy recommendation. If you're up to the challenge, give this one a shot.
