DHGF: Galaxy Saver is a satisfying $2 purchase if you’re willing to stick to it and play it repeatedly as intended. While the game isn’t straightforward about its progression, dedication to it will provide a challenge and rewards that enhance the experience. While the game modes only differ slightly, it is evident at least a little bit of effort was put into the title to keep players coming back. For what it offers, Galaxy Saver is a solid shooter and a good buy on the cheap for shooter fans.
"Well-complimented characteristics don't necessarily guarantee an outcome bearing lasting effects. Sadly, even with near-perfect pacing, a sense of challenge diluted for the mass market and the weeding of distancing effects, some games still never take flight. For all the refinement the execution sees to, when all seems to be going upward, cared-for elements are squandered on a concept that lacks intrinsic qualities or some other source for elevation. Extracting that principle, the mileage you may seek in connection with Galaxy Saver may not stand to reach sky-high levels. But underneath the categorical exterior lies a spark that achieves quite well." -- Wiiloveit.com
Nintendo Life: We've seen a wide variety of shoot 'em ups on the DSiWare service, some obviously better than others. Galaxy Saver is the newest entry and takes quite a few influences from early arcade shooters, while tossing in a few twists in an effort to make the experience stand out. So while there might not be a lot of originality when it comes to individual gameplay mechanics, the overall experience is still something a bit different that might make it worthy of a look for fans of the genre.
