It’s hard to believe that two weeks have already flown by since the conclusion of our Playtest. How did you find the space battlefields that were unveiled for you? For us, opening our game for the first time was an exhilarating milestone, filled with anticipation and great memories.
First Encounter with our Commanders
Firstly, a gigantic THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the Playtest from August 18th to 21st. Throughout the three-day testing period, we were able to feel your interest and passion for Galaxy Commanders via Discord and Twitter interactions. Your involvement has been an immense source of encouragement for us!
PvP Insights
Galaxy Commanders offers players the excitement of real-time PvP action. The key to winning is selecting the right Battleships for your fleet and then deploying Units and Skills that counter your opponent. As each gamer has their own style of gameplay, there’s no one-size-fits-all strategy. As time went on, we noticed players developing their unique strategies, and some even emerged as experts. Our team also faced off against a few of these top players, and it was an intense experience. I’ll leave the results of those matches to your imagination. 😄
We would also like to share some highlights which provides insights into the intensity with which participants played.

Players indulged in an average of 4 hours and 39 minutes of gameplay, engaging in approximately 63 battles each day. There were also the top rankers who committed an astounding amount of time playing throughout the three days. We even wondered whether they had time to sleep!
Top 3 Most Used Units
As players engaged in more battles, they honed their fleet strategies. We were taken aback by some players who showcased incredibly powerful fleets during battle matchups. The top three beloved Units were the Mantis, Viper, and Void Commandos. Do you recall how dominant the Mantis was? Or how challenging it was to fend off swarms of Void Commandos? I certainly remember them as they often led to my defeat. 😢
Top 3 Most Used Battleship Skills
When the heat of battle intensified, gamers demonstrated their strategic prowess by employing their Battleship Skills with impeccable timing. The three standout skills that were most frequently used were Crystal Shields, Lightning Storm, and Time Freeze. I personally ensured these were part of my fleet’s setup, and it was unmistakably clear in the throes of battle just how prevalent and favored these skills were amongst our community.
After the conclusion of the Playtest, we carefully reviewed all of the feedback that you provided and the results reaffirmed the immense interest you hold for Galaxy Commanders. We’re happy to share that over 90% of participating players expressed satisfaction with the game, even mentioning they’d recommend it to a friend!
