#Galaxy on fire 2 vs rebel galaxy free#
Regardless of your choice of upgrades, there is no denying these ships look absolutely stunning.Īpart from the regular missions, there is also an optional free exploration of each sector you do battle in. Unlike the free mobile version, you don’t have to pay for these as they are rewarded upon successful mission completion. Just like all primary and secondary weapons, these can be upgraded, limited to your current level and available Mhaan-Tiq. All of them have different hull, energy, shield and missile ratings. There are a total of nine different vessels, divided into three categories (fighter, scout and gunship) and faction (Terran, Nivelian and Vossk). Micromanagement of your weapon load-outs plays a big part of the game and it is particularly well implemented.Īs you would expect, the highlight of the game goes to the spaceships you will be able to fly. If you do happen to find yourself fighting a space pirate boss without the proper weapon to take him out, you can either restart and reconfigure your loadout or, if you’re stubborn like us, ram them into submission. Some ships have device slots and you can use these with ‘A’ and ‘B’, adding options like EMP pulses or cloaking devices to your arsenal. As more of these you unlock, the more options you will be able to fit into your ship and having the right weapon type for each boss is key to a smooth victory. Your primary weapons have different types of ammo (ballistic, laser, plasma), fire modes and range.
You can use ‘R’ and ‘L’ to quickly swap between weapon mount points. ‘ZR’ will fire your infinite primary weapons while ‘ZL’ will fire your limited, missile weapons. Weapons systems are reserved for the shoulder buttons. That is all you will need to know about flight controls and despite really responsive, we found sometimes using this default scheme made us inadvertently barrel roll while boosting and crashing our ship onto space debris or capital ships. The left analog stick controls your ship direction and the right one controls braking, boosting and triggering left or fight barrel rolls that can be used to evade enemy locks. Fortunately, it's a refined and precise experience, with easy to pick up controls that allow for all sorts of flashy maneuvers. Flying your spaceship and shooting other bad spaceships will be what you will spend most of your time doing in Manticore: Galaxy on Fire.
