You have to spend a lot of money
KennyShah
Great game but you have to spend $500-$600 to get enough items to make any real progress in this game. The reward system for playing the game is heavily skewed towards people who are willing to pay $40/month subscription fee to get daily rewards. On free play you hardly get enough rewards to upgrade your ship parts which are used to advance through the game. In fact the ads they present pay more rewards than playing 7 minutes of the game. BTW, I’m ranked at bottom of top 50 players so I know what I’m talking about. I started playing the game long time a go when it was a great game. This allowed me to progress forward. But if I was to start today, I would be playing the game for next 2 years to get same rewards I got before. Good luck to any new players. You will not make any real progress.
Fun Game - Terrible Ads

I got this game for my 8 year old son because it was rated 4 & up. After playing a game, he was shown a really inappropriate ad for some game with half naked zombies. It is called State of Survival and should not be marketed to children!! You should be more careful with your ad content. Very disappointed.

Crash, crashing, crashed that’s all you will be using to describe this game. Can’t rate the game if you can’t play it.
The Bosses

The new Bosses in Galaxy Invaders is very hard / they shoot a lot of bullets / i die to fast / all else in the app is still good for now /
Come on now!

There needs to be more drops of pilot cards for those of us that just aren’t going to spend money. I watch all the ads, don’t like it but I do, to get what I can but I’ve hit a wall with upgrading my ship.
A Rich Person’s Game

There’s plenty to like in this game, but it’s ultimately flawed by one of the most predatory “pay to win” models I’ve seen. What’s good: game play. There’s something very satisfying about getting an overload power-up and wiping the board of enemies. Zipping around and shooting bug-like spaceships is fun, and the visual feedback is good. What’s bad: the advancement plateaus are brutal, and the cost of speeding things up by buying items is exorbitant. My approach when I start a new ad/pay game one of two things happen: the game is fun enough to tolerate the ads or it isn’t. After a week or so, if I’m having fun, I will usually pay to turn off ads. With this game, the basic subscription is worth going ad-free for 30 days. That’s the only good value in the game. (The elite subscription is definitely not worth four times the cost of the basic.) The problem is that after the initial advancement honeymoon, things slow WAY down. The process of advancing by collecting items is incredibly slow. You quickly reach a plateau where your ships, drones, and pilots aren’t strong enough to beat bosses, and the rate at which you get drops is effectively a trickle. The option is to buy gems to open loot boxes. Which, fine. That’s how these games work. But it doesn’t help much. Way too much of the “loot” is a piddling amount of gold (you’ll rarely lack for gold after you play for a few weeks because you won’t be able to spend improving ships stuck at an evolution plateau). The number of parts you need to evolve your ships increases far faster than the average drop rate. The cost of the gems packages is very high for what you get. I’m fine with a reasonable cost. Developers deserve to get paid. The monthly basic subscription isn’t bad, but everything else is ridiculous. The result is a game that plays well until you quickly get stalled waiting to collect enough stuff to move on. Your choice is to play the same levels over and over for weeks hoping you eventually get what you need to move up, or you pay for VERY expensive gems that still won’t get you what you need with any great speed. (In one 15-item X5 box, seven slots had 250 gold—are you KIDDING ME?) At this point, in my second month, I will play out my subscription and delete the game. By contrast, I’ve been playing another ad-or-pay game with a MUCH more reasonable advancement model for four years.
Hopelessly frustrated the second time around.
Junk if not fixed
I closed out my Facebook account and can not open a closed account. I wish I could somehow get my Corvus ship back to level 90. The levels were so much easier. I had to restart at level 1. To have Corvus stuck on maxed out on level 15 is a pain. I was passed level 104 and hard mode about level 56 with all stars on each level. My score now is PATHETIC. I probably went through at least a million game dollars to get where I was and years to do it. I was told that they found my old game on facebook but I had to get on it to retrieve it somehow. Impossible. Can someone get me part way back to what I had? I have a very hard time convincing myself to still play anymore as it is too frustrating at my power level.
