About the Game
GALAXY ADMIRALSis a multiplayer turn-based cosmic strategy. Improve your command skills with AI and conquer the whole universe by fighting with real players.
MULTIPLAYER
When you learn to run the game and learn all the types of the spaceships as well as their features, you can measure swords with other players. Only by playing against real adversaries, you can show all your talents and skills far and wide.
GAMEPLAY
On a hexagonal field there are two military bases – one of yours and another of your adversary. By consuming a special kind of game resource in the base there are produces combat spaceships. The resource is renewable and being renewed along with each player’s move.
After each move the field of play is rotated around the central cell. This fact influences the gameplay very much: the situation changes continuously and it is very difficult to foresee what will be the next.
Your short-term goal is to destroy the enemy base.
That’s a real challenge for your brain training your ability for tactics and combinatorics.
FEATURES
- Specific gameplay. The situation changes constantly because of rotating the field of play. You have to adapt yourself to new circumstances permanently. Only he that can adapt himself to the ever-changing cosmos, will survive and come off victorious.
- Unusual system of skills gives free scope to your imagination. By combining various skills and forming different combinations, you will get a wide range of tricks and tactical maneuvers.
- Each mission has a plot. It’s very fascinating to replay them again and again. The initial whereabouts of objects on the playing field is generated randomly. You always get into a new battle situation which is unique.
- The strong AI will not let you be bored during the whole game. It can be joyful, angry and get surprised showing this in its messages to you.
- 1 race, each one have 10+ ships to build and even more special abilities to use.

Actually I nearly ended this game a while ago, I bought it the second time. It's a simple idea but very good one - each turn your hex board rotates and you have to react on it always adjusting your tactic. Simple but really decent logic game.
A very very interesting coffee break space strategy game Not very complicated neither
Kudos to the developers for the concept of rotating parts of the game board ... a novel concept. Also nice is the variety of ships & their different capabilities. Graphics are decent. And the objective of every game is simple: Destroy the enemy's base.
Bad: Got frustrated after a bunch of failed attempts to win the 4th campaign, and realized this game is just not my cup of tea.
- No research tree
- Economic model is minimal (crystals, which you don't have to actively mine for; if you do nothing, your base gets one every turn)
- No fleet capability
- Prompted for your display resolution every time you start the game
- Small fixed sized board.
Last space combat game was Stars!; this is a MUCH FASTER game play (~10 mins for Galaxy Admirals vs. tens of hours for Stars!).
Bottom Line: If you have the right mindset, this could provide many hours of entertainment. For $2, was worth a shot.
A multiplayer game without multi players. Even if this game was free, the audience simply will not materialize. This game is simply not compelling enough to attract a large enough crowd to make multi-player realistic. There is no story. There are no factions. No personality. There is just red vs blue. Admittedly, there are some cool innovative units buried 4 hours deep into the tutorial campaign, but who is going wade through 4 hours to find the diamond in the rough. The developers should have made this a single player game filled with sci-fi lore. As it is, this game has no purpose other than to be clutter in someone's steam library.
I was NOT expecting such deep game play on such a simple 'board'. A big 'Well Done' to you guys for concentrating on game play. It's worth every Yen/Yuan/Dime/Shekel/Ringgit/Dinar.
Wasn't expecting much from this game, but I am really enjoying it. Boardgame-style turn based strategy with an interesting mix of complementary unit types. The board rotation mechanic is hard to wrap your head around, but in a good way.
online is dead but with buddies or for a fast game before work this is great. and for under $3 i would say get it and let me know when your online
Unique turn based strategy. The map rotation is nice since like a galaxy the inner orbits rotate faster (shorter distance to go) and it make you anticipate where things will be moved relative to each other. There is a quick look at the next rotation that makes it a little easier to see/anticipate.
As one reviewer noted it is an app port and works great so far.
It seems only the map layouts (where rocks or resources are) may be random; everything else has fixed rules like chess, based on what type of piece it is.
It has a nice variety of unit types and I've only seen six so far in the tutorial/campaign (solo) - which has been adding one new unit each . The camaign starts out simple but does get more and more complex as it goes along and new ships/features are added into the mix.
At the current .50 cents sale price worth getting copies for your friends too.
Cool turn based mechanics. Well worth its low tag price.
You won't find many people in multiplayer though.
I honestly haven't done reviews in ages, and when I did I was a ridiculous kid running a website beyond his control reviewing, and distributing anime. If that gives me any merit with you continue reading.
I got this games in the hopes of re-establishing control over my account. It had been so long since I made a Steam purchase that Steam was beginning to limit control over my account and the features I could use. Needless to say making this purchase did not help me, but what was discovered is priceless.
Maybe I am in the dark here but I haven't encountered a game layout like Galaxy Admirals. The unique, almost boardgame style of it's maps are casual, yet engaging in strategic warfare tactics. The "revolving star system" you control your units in gives a style of gameplay similar to Chess and other boardgames where critical thinking, and foresight are key.
The game is very colorful for the most part, if not leaning to the "Blue" spectrum a little too much. I would like to see different backgrounds for maps to offer a "relief" in tones. The graphics the game utilizes reminds me that of a Android game as well as it's control interface which in fact, can't be a bit quirky with the mouse. It almost seems like a game that should be native to Touch devices.
The AI Campaign offers some fun, some frustration, and in the end satisfaction on completion. Giving you a boost to move into multiplayer and dominate the scene... however this is where I hit somewhat of a roadblock: Not many people actually play online yet. As a early access game with very little exposure you won't encounter many online yet. I hope this will change with more reviews and Steam-based promotion.
In summary, I do suggest this game to other users that are fans of boardgames, turn based strategy games, and science fiction. Great job JetDogs Studios.
nice game to play with friends
+music is great
+price is good
+will have fun for a couple of hours
+turn based/good graphics
+active multiplayer as i saw there are people playing it
This is rather a unique game. If you like this style of game, it certainly seems to be set at a bargain price. Basically, it's a turn-based tactical combat game set in a small, moving arena. Through the first dozen-odd levels, it seems to be constituted by a small but carefully balanced array of different spaceships; each ship is good for something, but no ship is absolutely dominant. The best ship is very expensive and can be quite readily be destroyed by a range of well-used, cheaper ships.
However, once one gets even further into the campaing, one realises that there's a whole other array of weird and complicated ships to play with. Honestly, for me, at that point it started to feel less like a strategy game and more like a puzzle game. Understanding all of the different abilities of all the different ships, trying to keep track of what will happen with the movement of the arena in the next turn, and predicting the moves of the enemy, feels quite "brain burning", or conducive of a state of "analysis paralysis". So, for myself, it became less fun and more like work. But if you like tactical puzzles, these seem very well designed and they certainly give you a lot to think about!
Finally, I think the multiplayer would probably help to make this more engaging... but in my experience of it so far, there never seems to be anyone else on when I am. So, a cautious thumbs-up... just be aware of what style of game it is you're getting into.
This game seems to be very simple, but appears to be really challenging. And the multyplayer is awesome too! I think, people who enjoy playing chess will be sattisfied.
P.S. the graphic quality is quite good too
"Even if you don't think you'll like it, just spend the 2 dollars to buy it. It is worth WAY more than the 2 dollars it costs, and even if you don't like it, it's only 2 dollars that you wasted!"
-Original Review
Alright, I decided I should put more effort into it. This game is better than all other turn-based space strategy games because:
*Doesn't do too much behind the scenes, so using the highest quality setting won't affect performance 90% of the time, and means most computers that aren't 5 years old and slow as fuck can run it with no problems, even at the highest quality setting.
*Is innovative in the sense that the whole board moves, or 'orbits', around the center. This may not seem like that will make any difference. However, at corners the rings closer to the center end up moving farther than the rings on the edge. Because of this, you have to plan ahead to how things move to make sure you move/aim things in the right position/direction.
*Costs only two dollars! Because of this, if you don't like it, it doesn't matter that the money spent on this game was put to waste.
Anyways, that was my first REAL review on a game, if there are any errors in the review, please tell me so. I hope you enjoy this game!
Honestly, this game isn't bad at all. It's actually very innovative. It's a strategy, in space, with a twist. The map's hexagonal fields rotate every turn, simulating an orbit, and giving you something extra to think about in advance when planning ahead.
I got it during a weeklong sale, wanting to get rid of spare change in my Steam wallet. Since it had positive reviews, I decided to try it, and well, for the price, it's pretty enjoyable.
It's got a little singleplayer campaign that kinda teaches you what each ship can do, and gives you a strategic challenge, it's got your multiplayer, where you invite someone from the lobby, and you get to duke it out in space, and with its sandbox mode, you can mess around or play against another player locally, or against the AI. With the multiplayer, and sandbox mode, the game feels replayable. You can generate a nice map with ease, you can choose the amount of asteroids, crystals, and other features, however you want it.
There are two races, each with a number of similar (but not exactly the same) ships, each filling the same role differently. The variety of the ships is large enough to give you a plenty of strategic options.
The music, while repetitive after a while, is pretty nice to listen to during the gameplay, the sounds are just fine, and the GUI is pretty simple.
It does have a few flaws, yes. For example, right now, you connect to the Lobby automatically, and people who are in the lobby as well can spam you with invites. Thankfully, the people that were online while I was trying this game out were considerate, and only sent one invite. When they got declined, they didn't send another, so I guess unless there's a braindead spammer among the players, you won't be bothered much, or at all.
Some reviews also say the game feels like a mobile port, and well, I suppose that's true as well. That alone doesn't feel like a flaw to me however. If this were a game for mobile devices, however, it would be wonderful.
I think the game is worth trying. It's cheap, and for an early access game, it really feels like a finished product. If you enjoy strategies, you could probably enjoy this. It's simple, yet complicated, and it can probably kill a few hours if you get into it.
Pros:
-fun and challenging single player mode
-lots of unique units
-very good tutorial that clearly explains all of the mechanics and introduces the units one at a time
-runs perfectly fine on my crappy laptop
Cons:
-theres never anyone online to play with, hopefully this changes as more people buy the game, which I think they should, since its a really good game
Summary:
This is a very fun and easy to learn turn-based strategy game that I think is defanitely worth the full price of $2.19 (and I got it on sale for $0.54!). I would recommend buying copies for your friends too, since theres not usually people online to play with, and its super cheap.
Wow, this game is fun. Basically I had some money in my steam wallet and this looked interesting, so I picked it up, at first glance the UI looks like a mobile port, but the game works fine with mouse and runs really smooth on my PC, looks pretty good too when you have the graphics cranked up.
Gameplay: This game is a turn based strategy game set in a solar system, unlike a lot of turn based space strategy games this game has no extra fluff, no CCG elements, no 4X style campaign mode, just a simple to learn, but suprisingly complex strategy game. The twist with this game is that everything on the map rotates around the center, although it seems like this wouldn't matter as relative positions would stay the same, that actually isn't true, because everything orbits at the same speed things closer to the center go around faster than things on the edge, these rotations really add new depth and it takes some time to get used to, but the devs have really taken advantage of this with delayed attacks and timed bombs that can take advantage of the orbiting system.
Content: At the time of writing this review (5/13/2016) there are 2 races implimented into multiplayer, 1 campaign (combines humans and aliens, no story just kind of a tutorial and extra ai battles), 9 Human ships, 9 Alien Ships (kinda ten b/c aliens have a ship that can build nanobots), and a sandbox for you to test out new things or play hotseat on the same computer with your friends.
There are some gameplay mechanics that I didn't go over like the resource system, but you can figure that out once you buy the game, oh, and by the way, BUY THE GAME.
My ONLY major complaint is this game doesn't have enough players, so it can be hard to find a match online, but it's more fun to play against your friends and family anyway, so personally, I dont care as much, but if you want to be MLG and wreck everyone online, you might be a little dissapointed with the amount of people that go online on any given day.
If I had to rate it with 5 being an average game, I would give Galaxy Admirals a 7/10, and that will only go up as the game moves further into development with the planned 3rd race coming out and further UI improvements. Good Luck Devs!
This game has such potential!
Currently on mission 21 and I'm impressed at the clever game play, tremendous unit variety, polished presentation, and code stability. The rotating board literally adds a fascinating twist to turn based tactics.
If you love challenging and complex game play then this game is definitely for you. Yet the learning curve is fairly gentle. Play starts simply with the complexity slowly emerging as each new unit is added.
Being early access there are rough edges of course, but there is already hours of quality entertainment to be enjoyed. This is truly an inspired little indie masterpiece in the making.
An underpriced, very good and relaxing game, especially in Sandbox Mode where you could just mess around.
Must buy: 11/10.
Interesting take on the space strategy genre.
I only played a couple of missions, but I can say that the game is already (early access as I write this) very polished.
The game plays almost like a board game, which is very nice.
The rotating map is a great twist.
Sort of like rock, paper, scissors in space. If you like your combat to be 'I hit you, you hit me', then this is a good distraction for you.
