There is a colorful cast of characters. You start with Doug and his pet guinea pig- Boom Boom. Doug is homesick and wears emotion on his sleeve. Boom Boom is your loyal companion and rarely talks. Later, you meet Marty bot. It is a robot that helps you during your journey. New characters are introduced as you progress in the story.

In combat, you can use items, character abilities, and each attack charges up your ability points meter. You can control up to 3 characters and even have the ability to capture animals in combat. If you die, there is no penalty for losing and you can reload from your last save.


- Story is interesting and involves getting back to Earth in Season 1. This is a linear game and the player completes quests to move to next scene.
- Can take pictures of alien, animals and other species. There are side quests to take pics to gain gold and you can visit other planets to find new living things.
- Many bosses to beat including Large animals, aliens, etc. The later ones have special abilities that can be "negated" by Boom Boom.
- Puzzles are not too difficult and most players should be able to complete without reading a guide or watching a play through.
- Soundtrack is diverse and adds to the space setting. If you are in a fight, there is tense battle music to match the situation.

- Tutorial should explain equipment for your characters and explain how to use captured monsters in battles.
- Combat could be improved. I don't see the need to confirm or click X for each defend turn.
- Add an image or menu to show enemy and characters turn order. Most turn-based games have this feature.
- Playing with keyboard is rough. It would be nice to have separate menu to reference for controller and keyboard controls.


Conclusion: A charming game with inspiration from Pokemon and turn-based RPG games. You can travel to other planets with the ability to take pictures, participate in races, fight bosses, and survive in Galaxy land. This indie game deserves more recognition and takes about 15-20 hours to complete.

クリア済みの日本語レビューがなさそうだったので記載しておきます。
正直に言うと、サムズダウンするほどではないけどアップもちょっと悩ましい感じです。

突然宇宙に誘拐された少年が、「終焉」に飲まれているという故郷に戻るべく冒険するターン制RPG。

物語の展開が急すぎたな～という感じがしました。
一つのイベントシーンに重大な葛藤・決断・再考などが詰め込まれていることが多く、登場人物がめちゃめちゃ優柔不断で移り気な子たちに見えてしまいました。丁寧に描かれていたらちゃんと感動出来ていたんだろうなという気がして惜しいです。
物語のスケールに対してボリュームが足りていないように感じました。
ただ、海外レビューを眺めたら会話やキャラクターが褒められていたので、もしかしたら翻訳の塩梅かもしれないし、わたしがテンポを掴みきれなかっただけかもしれません。
翻訳はぎこちないけど意味は読み取れる……と言いたいのですが、上述の通りなので読み取れていたのかちょっとわかりません。

戦闘は敵の攻撃をボタンでブロックしたり、行動回数を自分で制御して技を使うポイントを貯めたりと、色々工夫する余地があって面白かったです。
捕まえた敵を召喚して魔法を使うシステムも楽しい。
フィールド上にちょこちょこ謎解き要素があったのも好きなところです。
生き物の写真を撮って図鑑を埋める要素もありました。珍しい生き物の写真を撮りに行くサブクエストも、探し甲斐があって楽しかったです。
こちらも舞台の大きさに対して生き物の種類が少ないなど気になるところはありますが、価格に対しては相応に思います。

総じて、ゲーム性は楽しかったように思います。ストーリーは二の次、という方なら満足いくかもしれません。

Some games just hit you differently and the love and care poured into this great little venture is more than apparent.

For those of us who were kids in the 90s this reminds me a lot of the feelings I had playing "Another World" on the megadrive (or Genesis depending which part of the world you're from). The gameplay is completely different but the discovery aspect, the sounds, the variety of alien races and the intricate relationships between the main characters just brought me back to that game somewhat. There's that lovely sense of wonder at times that gives a tremendous amount of joy and takes us back to childhood memories of what space could be.

However "Beyond Galaxyland" is its own thing and although the story may be considered somewhat simple it's written with a surprising amount of depth, especially for the protagonist and their various companions. The gameplay delivers on all aspects and never becomes stale, all whilst making you wanting to see what happens next in your voyage of discovery. I even loved the added collecto-thon of photos, items and enemies as it was implemented in such a way that made me want to get all 100% achievements for the game.

I think Sam Enright (the game dev) is on a path to Indie greatness if he can keep building on this universe or even keep exploring how far he can take his pixel graphic and storytelling skills.

This is a gem and I can't wait to see what comes next with this developper. BUY IT!!! You won't regret it
