Game Overview

Galaxy Wars (Japan) on SNES is one of those games you stumble onto and wonder why it never made it overseas. You jump into this neon-drenched spaceship cockpit, and within seconds, you're weaving through swarms of alien ships while lasers zip past your windshield. The controls feel just right—responsive enough to thread through tight spots, but not so twitchy that you crash into every asteroid.

What really sticks with me is the soundtrack—this pulsing synth wave that kicks in as soon as you hit start, like someone fused an arcade cabinet with a late-night cyberpunk anime. And the explosions? Huge, chunky pixel bursts that make every hit feel satisfying. It’s got that same addictive loop as Gradius, but with a slightly faster pace and way more chaotic enemy patterns.

If you’re into retro shooters, this one’s worth digging up. Just don’t blame me when you lose an hour trying to beat the third boss.
