Galaga Legions DX for Windows Phone

Galaga Legions DX for Windows Phone? If that was obviously not enough after the 3DS release which looks kind of inferior to the home console version, here comes the touchscreen version. Well, you can probably drag around the screen to move the ship but the way you move is kind of delayed and flawed. What were the developers doing like this? Had they even taken the look at other shmup games on the smartphone devices and especially referred to Galaga 30th anniversary for Iphone? Okay, for Gaplus, you can move even more besides moving left and right but for Galaga Legions DX for Windows Phone, the way you MOVE the ship is BULLSHIT AND FLAWED! And that is ONE disappointing flaw of the game that will surely piss you off while playing it. Another flaw is that some of the graphical details are missing in Windows Phone version but at least, this version is graphically superior to 3DS version. You can move the right stick to adjust your firing angle as well as to tap the button that triggers the firing pattern as well as the satellite formation pattern.

It was originally released for XBLA and PSN and I already got this game on Xbox 360 and had some fun blasting the enemies off the screen. However, there are two flaws. First, the effects when taking out normal enemies are kind of lazily done but the thing is, the whole visuals are futuristic and everything has glows which may be visually attracting. Second flaw is that there may be parts of each stage that may be out of place to the story line compared to the original Galaga Legions while the gameplay is kind of improved for more fun in DX version. Overall, the game is worth buying on XBLA, PSN and 3DS but for Windows Phone version, it is kind of mediocre like that due to some bullshit lazy controls that are bound to be pissing you off or some sort and the gameplay is like slow or some sort. Buy this version if you want but then, I recommend that you buy the HD console version instead.
