Galactic Glitch: Prologue

Galactic Glitch: Prologue is a standalone action roguelike with physics-based combat and a self-contained story set before the events of Galactic Glitch. You play as a killing machine created from the neural DNA of humanity’s best warriors by SIREN, an all-knowing AI, and face the choice of helping her escape or dying in the attempt. The story and meta-progression take about 3–6 hours to complete.

Explore hostile space

Travel through bubbles of glitched spacetime and an interconnected web of star systems. The world’s paths evolve as you explore, and you can choose your own route through the cosmos. Search for hidden secrets and valuable items, unlock paths, and upgrade your ship with weapons and abilities.

Use physics in combat

Fight with a gravity gun that lets you manipulate the battlefield. Use gravity and the environment to your advantage: bounce enemies off walls, hurl asteroids at them, stop missiles in flight and reshape the fight. Enemies have multiple parts, weak spots, armored defenses and special attacks, so you can dismantle them piece by piece and adapt your tactics to each encounter.

Progress between runs

Unlock new powers with each run, learn from your mistakes and experiment with combinations of upgrades and items. You can shape your approach around prudent exploration or more powerful abilities, while permadeath raises the stakes of each run.

Levels and modes

The game includes two fully featured levels, each with distinct enemies and environments, and a challenging final boss. Challenge modes test your abilities, while three game-altering New Game+ modes add new enemies and increase the challenge.

Galactic Glitch: Prologue has its own story and meta-progression, separate from Galactic Glitch; neither its content nor its progression carries over to that game. It also uses different mechanics and gameplay.
