Beyond Galaxyland is an unparalleled adventure made by a single developer that matches and even surpasses the quality of many big games on the market.

9/10

An RPG that moves at a breakneck pace, Beyond Galaxyland is utterly engaging from beginning to end. It's Star Wars meets Final Fantasy, with a hint of Pokémon thrown in for good measure. Add in some good old-fashioned platforming and a tad of photography, and you have an experience like no other, and one of the quirkiest games of 2024.

9/10

Beyond Galaxyland is a well-written, artistically diverse space adventure which mixes several different flavours of RPG with puzzling and semi-open exploration. The story is filled with well-rounded characters and emotional narrative payoffs and, as much as Enright's galactic adventure is a collection of stylistic and mechanical homages, it doesn't feel like a patchwork of fan service. For all its...

8/10

Beyond Galaxyland tells a fantastic tale full of colorful characters in a vast world full of surprise and wonder. It's a shame that its combat system is locked to an ability system that seems to hinder you more than help. Though its world is grand, the game's lighting gets in the way, making dark areas impossible to see and the light regions blinding the eye.

7/10

Drawing on decades of inspiration, Beyond Galaxyland is a heartfelt love-letter to the JRPG genre. Although the game can't quite escape its predecessors' long shadow, it shines more brightly than many of its peers. The synthesis of gameplay elements from Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy to Paper Mario and Pokémon makes this a must-play for genre enthusiasts, and worthy of consideration by other ga...

Sam Enright's second effort takes players to the stars in a sci-fi adventure combining 2.5D locations and turn-based combat. RPGamer sees what awaits in Beyond Galaxyland.

Unscored

Beyond Galaxyland was a pleasant surprise, and never overstays its welcome. The vibrant graphics, subtle but infectious music, and breezy gameplay with plenty of optional content make this a game that respects your time, but if you want to spend more time with it, I have a feeling you’ll enjoy the higher difficulty or side content.
