In Galaxy Express, the story is pretty simple: Players will try to help interstellar delivery boy, Jonathan Rowe, as he attempts to deliver parcels around the universe, avoiding meteors, space pirates, and other dangers that get in his way.
There’s no real overarching storyline to take notice of, but the elements of what does exist is done in text through wittily written banter between Jonathan and the supporting cast. The cast including his ball-busting boss, Bluckerman, an Android female called Kim-bot, and even some of the villainy that rule the universe.
Pocket Gamer: Between the internet and premium shipping services, government-run postal services are today's proverbial red-headed stepchildren.
The puzzle game Galaxy Express not only optimistically portrays our post office in the distant future, but manages to make traditional strategy a bit more charming than usual.
From the Review:
"In a landscape as vast as the App Store, it is fairly easy to get lost trying to find a good puzzle game. This is not because of some sort of shortage of mind-twisting goodness. On the contrary; the problem is choosing from the near-overwhelming number of puzzle apps. In my opinion, Arctic Empire’s Galaxy Express stands just slightly above its peers, making it a good use of your personal processing cycles."
GameZebo: The gameplay of Galaxy Express doesn’t bring anything new to the table really for the puzzle genre. You need to guide your ship from point A to point B by placing arrows on a grid map to make your ship turn or change direction to avoid obstacles. The PC game Rush and the old Sega game ChuChu Rocket instantly spring to mind, and I’m sure there are more like those as well – but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun.
