About the game

Galactic Patrol is a retro-inspired arcade shooter originally released for PC in 1998, restored and returning for a new generation of players.

Inspired by legends like Space Invaders, Galaga, Phoenix and Galaxian, it delivers fast-paced shoot-'em-up action across more than 300 waves of alien enemies. Battle through shifting perspectives — top-view, side-scrolling and rear-view combat — as you defend the galaxy from relentless attack.

Easy to pick up and hard to put down, with straightforward controls, escalating difficulty and nonstop action.

Whether you grew up blasting aliens in the arcade or you're discovering retro shooters for the first time, Galactic Patrol brings classic space combat back to life.
