Galaxy Shooter - Falcon Squad Hack 97.6 + Redeem Codes

This game is modeled like the other fun arcade shooters but in order to gain the competitive edge and reach the final boss you must upgrade your ship by paying with gold and gems. Gold is not rare but the gems are extremely rare. You need to pay an exorbitant amount of gems that can be required in 2 ways: Playing the game/participating in the trial mode or paying with you hard earned cash or credit. Players are incentivized to choose the latter because it may take years (many years over here) to upgrade your ship to the X rank which is not even the highest peak one can reach. This game is designed to last for infinity (Infinite bosses, infinite ship ranking, infinite players buying into the illusion of progress).

I hope the devs are proud because this is a fantastic business model. They’re probably in the tens of millions.

Game seems fun at first but quickly becomes impossible without spending > a thousand dollars. I’m not exaggerating. Game is designed to be addictive and waste your time so you just spend money. I’ve beaten the campaign now and it’s deeply unsatisfying. A year ago it was difficult to farm resources to level up ships without paying. Since then they’ve decreased the daily resources you can get by a factor of twenty!! Game glitches are common and each update creates more bugs than it solves. I’ve lost hundreds of dollars worth of resources to these glitches and the developers do nothing. This game charges my credit card all the time without providing the resources so I bought it again bc I thought the purchase didn’t work. I get charged twice but only wanted one. This is extremely common. Items available for purchase are often very different from how they are advertised and many ships / parts don’t do what they claim. Like half of them. I spent lots of money and time upgrading a particular part only for the game to remove that part! No refund of my money. This stuff is literally illegal but Apple won’t do anything about it so do yourself a favor and stay far away. Multiplayer modes are completely unrelated to skill and super frustrating. They’ve added Ed one new campaign world (now 14 total) in the last year, and modes/features have been “coming soon’ for over a year.

I’ve played this game many many times, and watched more ads than I can count. On many occasions I noticed that the advertisement videos would not work after playing the game several times on any particular day. It would just say n/a. At the same, I also noticed at the end of each level I completed I would never get offered an ad video to collect more rewards. I never clicked on the n/a icon until today, so I did just to see what would happen, and after clicking the n/a where the video icon is supposed to be, and then clicking on watch, it notifies me that there will be no more rewards until tomorrow. May I just say... how stupid that is!!! So let me just ask, what is the point in defeating a level (or playing at all), if I don’t get offered an extra reward for completing it, so I can upgrade my arsenal, and why in the h** is an app that is based solely on ads, because it sure isn’t solely based on my entertainment, only allow me to watch a certain number of ads before it cuts me off??? From a business standpoint this is sooo stupid!!! Hello!!! If I don’t play or I do play, and I don’t watch ads which is how you make a profit, then what’s the point?? Someone didn’t think that one through!!

Ok, so I'm a fairly new player (about a month or 3 now😁), &I've totally enjoyed the gameplay of this space shooter! My reason for only 3⭐️'s, is I've come across a few glitches you might say. For instance when I've tried to play this Halloween mode, it cut me off when I still had 2 chances left in that go round! I went from trying to start w/still 2 chances left, to accidentally backing out 1 too far, coming right back in, &seeing 2 changed to 0! I couldn't get back in! Not even w/a change of Ships! So, I'm not sure what happened there! Stuff like that keeps happening too! Also I agree w/the thing the other reviewer said about not being able to keep up w/ships after you get into upper levels anymore w/out "purchasing" upgrades! After the 1st few levels it gets too hard to get past the ships, &you just keep losing! No way to bypass them! Not w/out $, that is! I agree w/their recommendation of allowing users to watch ads for upgrade rewards! That'd really help, &help your Ratings! But Please try to fix these little system glitches.✌🏾️😔

This game is fun and challenging and you can upgrade and progress without the need for in-game purchases. There are plenty of coin multiplier ads and thats how I support you guys. However, there are way too many random ads. The ads at the beginning of levels start when the level begins so the game is going on while the ad plays. What are you trying to do? Make us loose lives to get us to watch the extra life ads? Typical greedy developers. Even worse are the prices to unlock the 3rd drone, the chainsaw, and the 2 best ships. The game is still fun with 3 ships, 2 drones, and 1 ultimate but their is no option to unlock the remaining ships, drone, and chainsaw with currency. The drone is $10, the chainsaw is $10, and the 2 ships are a total of $50. That is unbelievably sickening. That is more than an entire PC game. Why be so greedy? There aren't many ships and drones anyway so why have these insane prices? I really would like to unlock everything so please find it in your heart to have the option to unlock them with hard work and currency.

So, its boring at first. It takes awhile to get to opponents worth your time. Which is fine cause you need to save up your coins to upgrade to larger ships.

One way to get more coins is after you complete a map, hit that button that is flashing to double or x4 your coons you earned. THIS WILL NEVER WORK, DON’T BOTHER.

Now the videos you do want to watch are located in the upper LH corner of the screen. Should loom like a little play sign. You can earn extra stuff this way about 80% of the time. The other %, nothing will happen. Also, nothing will happen if you watch the video for an extra life if you die. Don’t watch that one either.

Its clear from the start the only way to get better ships and drones is to spend real money, which they are thirsty for from the start. They havn’t earned your patronage yet, but they will want it just the same, which is the way of the gaming world now. For the next ship above the starter ship, its $10 of your hard earned money.

But for some reason if you manage to get the coins for the next ship without spending it on upgrading your current ship to get through those higher levels, you will eventually spend your money on the gems, because “shocker” they are harder to earn, but if def a requirement in upgrading your ship.

All in all, fun game, will get boring without real money, be prepared to bring a blank check.

I don't know about you guys but....I REALLY loved the old version it was much more simpler, the bomb power ups where instantaneous and more effective, the upgrades in the level where a lot of help and made it easier to get passed really hard levels. But now that's all gone the upgrades you get in the levels are REALLY temporary they don't even last for the full level and their actually limited to how much you can get. Which really takes away more than HALF of the enjoyment we usually got when playing Falcon Squad. Not to mention that when we had those temporary upgrades for our ships in the levels everyone kinda gets a glimpse into how far our ships fire power and potential can get. As well as giving the players in a way a slight illusion that the power and upgrades can go on forever in the game.

UPDATE: There have been at least three updates to the game since my review. “Video rewards” is among the patch notes but there are still issues with it.
I have been enjoying a fair bit, it’s a solid bullet-hell. You can advance comfortably without having to spend money too. I would give the game more stars but my issue with it is the reward system regarding ads. Like most mobile games these days, there are several opportunities to earn a bonus for watching an ad. However, I would estimate that the reward fails at least a third of the time. At first, I thought I must not be watching long enough but I will deliberately wait ~10 seconds past the ad timer and still receive nothing. I wanted to submit a support ticket regarding this rather than include it in a review but I could not find an option to do so among the games menus.

This game started out as satisfying fun but as I rose through the levels, I found myself frustrated over trying to figure it out. There is no explanation or help. I am told I need certain things but can not locate the item, or I already have the required aircraft but still get the error message that I cannot play the level without said aircraft. Another example, the level states I cannot play without “wings of destruction” but there is no option to get it without completing level 35 (I think?), so I’m at level 35, the holy grail unlock level, and after about 15 little aircraft, no other enemies enter the screen and I fly forward endlessly unassaulted - I have to close the whole app and restart just to exit level 35. I am frustrated by all the rules and requirements with very little direction of how to progress in this game. The upgrades cost astronomical amounts of coins and gems - you’re not getting anywhere in this game without paying up... perhaps the instructions come with a fee as well?

Not having any problems playing this game on an iPhone X but here are several issues I have with this game. The process of upgrading your ships and drones and such are offensively high compared to the amounts of in game [money] for making those upgrades. So the game offers you plenty of opportunities to buy new items for upwards of $20 which seems like a rip off to me. Especially with people staying home and looking for some outlets to pass time at home during the pandemic. I can think of much better things to spend 20 bucks on instead of a new spaceship for one simple game.
Also the ads you have to watch in order to amass gems (for upgrading) last as long as 35 seconds and dole out a pittance of what you need makes the game agonizingly slow to progress without paying real money.
Lastly the latest ad content has been the nail in the coffin for me. I’m done with this game.
