Galaxy on Fire 2™ Full HD App Reviews

Im really picky when it comes to games, and this has got to be one of my favorites! Its like the developers were interested in making a great game, not in nickel and diming their customers (what a concept!). I was worried it wouldnt play well on my 2009 MacBook Pro, but it runs flawlessly and is a blast to play. There are hours of gameplay here, not one or two hours as some claim.

The game looks and sounds good and is fun overall however collision detection seems to be a bit spotty at times and there is a bit of a learning curve in the beginning. That being said, i still think that this game is worth it, especially for just $10.

I was super excited to get this as i have played it on the ipod and loved it alot, but i was on the newest version of osx mountain lion and it didnt work, so i decided to update to mavericks in a last ditch attempt to get it to run… still no change… please change this fishlabs!

Just bought this game which i love on iPhone for my new Macbook Pro Retina and i press the play button in the inital start up window and its not working. I press play and nothing happens

CONS- the screen takes a long time to load some missions are insane VALKYRIE Pack music is repeditive PROS+ grapics are astounding hrs opon hrs of gameplay 100s of weapons 100s of ships 100s of equipment options 100s of randoms 100s of missions 100s of solar systems 100s of ways to make money 100s of things to do 100s of possibilities overall= AWESOME,AMAZING,ENDLESS game

This game is amazing and I play it a lot with the expansions. I am currently having an issue though. I just received the Cronus ship in the Valkyrie expansion and it keeps crashing time and time again once I jump to Valkyrie or around then. I don’t know what is going on. I tried restarting and shutting my computer down but it has not solved this crash issue. I will still give this game 5 stars, but am getting a little irritated at the sudden crashes during this game. Plus, it only crashes around this one spot I am at during the game.

I like this game and i have mastered it on all of the difficulties on the mac and iOS. separately. needs a setting to change the game dificulty in game because i would like to use my dark angle.

This is ridiculous. I spent $10 for a game that has excellent reviews and I can not even get the game to load. I am on a MacBook Pro which is brand new and it will not load. Can someone give me any tips or how do I get my money back?

I love this game but it keeps crashing, when I try to use my integrated khador drive when I am in the void, trying to get to Carla. This is really annoying, and I spent my money on these expansion packs and it continues to crash. I reinstalled the game, and it still does not work. It is a great game, and I love it but the game crashing is ridiculous. I do not know if this is because I updated my computer to OSX Mavericks. Fix this Bug!!!

good game if i could play it

Great game. I had it on my iPhone at one time. The graphics are amazing, the story lines interesting, and at times it is challenging. However, I’m having a crash problem. It started with the Valkyrie mission. Every time I try to warp to the Valkrie station the app crashes. I can see I’m not the only one. Are the developers working on this? Aside from the crashes, it deserves five stars. However, until this is fixed, I’m going to give it four.

If you modify the controls and launch the game, it crashes.

Love tha He11 out of this. i write music with garage band, then come to GOF for a break from writing

If you play the game and you had bought the DLCS Or ADDONS, They Will never reload for you and the Addon Screen never loads, so it impossible

Addons don’t seem to be working… I have this game on iOS and it works fine, and the addons are great. Yet it doesn’t seem to work on this version… Fix please!

Add-ons? Ad-dons will not work for me either. If you purchases this game and play it till the end you will want to keep playing and get the ad-dons. I sent my complaint to Galaxy on Fire 2 Full HD Support twice and got no response, It’s been three months... Fix please!!!!! Fixed I would Rate 5 Stars.

This game is OK if you play and purchase in app purchases. Which I did, i spent some money inside the game. Then i switched Mac’s and re-installed the game. +All my in app puchases were gone. I sent an email to support, this is 2 months ago. Still awaiting an answer. So far nothing, very disappointed. In app purchases need to re-appear, when installing the game again. Or you cannot sell on apple.

This is one of my favorite games. I spent countless hours playing it on my iPad with the Supernova and Valkyrie expansion packs. When I found this release in the App Store for my macbook pro, I was ecstatic. So I ponied up the money and bought it, eager to play on the bigger screen. The game came up just fine, and there was my iCloud save game from iPad. I click “load” only to be met with a notification that I can’t load the game--because of the DLC content--to a non-DLC game. Makes perfect sense, and I was willing to pony up the money for the DLC’s all over again as well. The add-ons button does not work. A message pops up claiming it is attempting to connect and may take up to a minute. An hour later it still hasn’t connected, so I search online. It turns out this problem is widespread (not just widespread—nobody is playing the DLC’s on OS X). And Fishlabs has been ignoring every ticket and support request that is opened for this particular problem — the game is broken and they are simply not doing anything to fix it, and they are ignoring all pleas for help. Take the hint from the ‘Updated’ date here — Nov 27, 2012. It won’t be fixed any time soon.

(If you just want my opinion, please go to paragraph 5) Galaxy on Fire 2 has been a fun game; I’ve played through the main campaign and almost the last add-on. The visuals are pleasing to the eye and the game as a whole seemed to be well-made. The game runs smoothly on my older Macbook running OS X El Capitan with only a few occasional crashes and a rare control glitch. With both add-ons, I’ve put 35 hours into the game. I did feel, however, that storyline and depth were not the game’s strong points. The main campaign is indeed short, and your involvement in the campaign mostly consists of destroy x, buy x, or go to system x. One would probably not finish the game thinking they have witnessed an incredible story or have been truly immersed into a fictional universe. There is enough, however, to keep a player progressing through. The battle mechanic in my opinion was a bit too simple and not positively thrilling or exciting, as piloting skills make little difference. Success depends heavily on the strength of your ship and equipment, and nearly every enemy can be defeated with the same tactics and weapons, once you figure it out. Unnecessary battles became something to dread after a while. On the other hand, dogfighting becomes much more interesting once about five or more ships are involved as the battle becomes a slow-paced fur ball. I deemed that trading is the most effective means of making money in the game. There is a variety of items to trade, but I found myself exclusively trading certain items since those items had the best profit margin. Supply and demand is not a factor in trading prices, and prices are determined solely by location and a slight random variable. Although there is a perceived lack of variety and content in the general gameplay, the game is by no means uninteresting. I kept coming back to rack up enough credits for a new ship or to build blueprints and try them out. There are enough star systems to explore to keep you busy for quite a while. And, of course, there’s always fun in blasting away spaceships in high definition. If you’re looking for a sci-fi spaceship game to spend your time on, this is a good choice. For $10, it’s much more affordable than other games in this genre but probably not as extensive in features. It was, after all, meant to be an iPhone game. ***About the add-ons*** The Valkyrie add-on is similarly short like the main campaign, perhaps even shorter. However, the story was fun to follow and included new gameplay mechanics, which is a welcome addition. I noticed that the dialogue between characters is better than before, making you want to listen into the story. The game started to consistently crash once I got to a certain point in the story and pressed certain commands, but I was able to get around it by changing the key controls. Interesting new ships, weapons, and equipment become available for purchasing the add-on, but I must note that a few of these items are not exactly new but are simply the best version of items already available. The new gear certainly makes playing easier, but you must buy the convenience for the same price as the game itself. The Supernova add-on is noticeably longer than Valkyrie, introduces new gameplay and equipment, and seems to be without crashing problems. The story so far has been good with improved dialogue; it’s perhaps better overall than the main campaign. Unfortunately you have to buy Valkyrie before playing Supernova, but if you like the game and want more content, the discount bundle for both add-ons is something you should consider. Valkyrie seems too short on its own, and Supernova adds a good deal of gameplay. But please think carefully before spending $20 more on this $10 game. The last thing I wish to address is the Kaamo Club. It is possible to purchase the club with in-game credits, but one can also buy it for two dollars. As I did not want to spend cash on a game when I did not have to, I chose to accumulate the 30,000,000 credits and 50t of buskat to buy Kaamo in-game. Having done it the hard way, I will recommend that unless you want to spend an enormous amount of time grinding, trading, and fighting for credits, only to spend it all, it’s worth paying the two dollars. That amount of credits can buy you any ship in the game and all sorts of equipment. In perspective, you would have to pay 150 dollars on in-game purchases to acquire 30 million credits, but you can buy Kaamo for two dollars. For the time it saves, I would say it is worth paying cash.

When i first bought the game it was amazing! super game and is my favorite. but when my computer hard drive crashed and i got a new one the game is starting to crash, at first it won’t open. then when i reinstalled i got near the end of Valkyrie and the Kador drive is making the game crash at the end of void space. it’s really frustrating and I hope it somehow gets fixed.
