Is it just us, or is everyone is making sci-fi roguelite games about evil corporations right now? I mean, we get it, there’s something insanely addicting about waking up, shooting drones, grabbing loot, and, well, dying. We’ve all played a game or dozen like that. But all Galactic Vault wants is for you to build weird, broken weapons. The plot is basically an excuse to shoot stuff. It doesn’t matter that you’re a VOLT operative. All that matters is the gun in your hands. That and how fast can you slide across the floor and blow things up.
Gun Nirvana:
Modular Gunsmithing: Parts physically change how your gun works mid-run. You literally turn pistols into shotguns.
High-Mobility Combat: You move by chaining jumps, dashes, and slides across tall, bouncy rooms.
User-Generated Content: A built-in editor lets you control level length and enemy spawns, which you can share on the Steam Workshop.
The Mutant Gun Grind
The pistol that you get at the beginning is a weak one. But that doesn’t stop you from running, sliding, and blasting a robot.
Then you find a weapon part. That’s the exact moment where the game grabs you. Those parts aren’t just a subtle statistics booster. You bolt parts onto a pistol until it fires like a shotgun. You slap a sniper scope on an SMG. Figuring out how to use the weird, mutated gun you just built is the whole point of the game. Add in some dash moves and bouncy, vertical rooms and it all gets chaotic fast. The parts make the rules and the rules are, therefore, constantly changing. You will die because your build makes no sense. You will win because your build is totally unfair.
The Indie Risk
This amazingly fun gem of a game is by a tiny indie studio from Belgium. MeepMeep Games didn’t just build a shooter in Unity. They added a full level editor right out of the gate, allowing you to adjust room length and pack in more enemies. Then you upload it to the Steam Workshop. Talk about letting players break your game.
The game hit #3 on Steam’s “Popular Upcoming” list globally just 24 hours before it launched.
A massive post-launch patch magically cut the game’s total install size in half and fixed huge graphical memory issues.
A recent update added playable characters, new rooms and difficulties. Find out more about it here.
The Final Verdict
Galactic Vault is a fast, messy toy box. It dumps the story to let you play mad scientist with your guns. Feel free to walk away right now if you want a deep plot. Make yourself comfortable if you want to tape a grenade launcher to a sniper rifle and slide-kick a robot.
