Galaga Legions DX becomes the fourth Xbox game delisted from Windows Phone in 2022

Galaga Legions DX delisted

Galaga Legions DX wasn't the all-time Xbox game on Windows Phone. In fact, I named it as ane of the five worst Xbox games of 2022. But yet, it was that very rare thing: an exclusive Windows Phone game from a major publisher that never showed upwardly on other mobile platforms (though information technology originated on Xbox 360). I even managed to get all of Legions DX'south Achievements and write a guide for them.

You'll discover I speak of Galaga Legions DX entirely in the past tense; that's considering information technology was delisted from the Windows Phone Shop within the last few days. That makes it the fourth Xbox Windows Phone game to disappear this year. Tiger Wood PGA Tour 12, Tower Bloxx New York, and 3D Brick Breaker Revolution were all delisted in January. Only three new Xbox games have made information technology to Windows Phone in 2022, so nosotros're really ane down for the year.

**Not the Galaga you lot were looking for**

It would have been great to receive the original Galaga on Windows Phone. That game may be kind of simplistic past modern standards, merely it's too a legitimate arcade classic. Instead nosotros got a port of Galaga Legions DX, the panel sequel nobody asked for to the disappointing Galaga Legions.

Though it's non very Galaga-like, Galaga Legions DX isn't such a bad game. Sure, it lacks two-thirds of the XBLA game'south content, but enough levels remain for a passable mobile shoot-em-up. With tons of ships on-screen at one time and flashy visual effects, it's actually quite pretty.

Galaga Legions DX

The bear upon screen controls are where things went incorrect. Legions DX suffers from literally the worst virtual stick I've always encountered in a telephone game. It's similar the developers had never touched a smartphone game earlier and also forgot to playtest their creation. Check out our review for more details.

Adding insult to injury, the game sold for a whopping $6.99. You don't charge seven bucks for a beneath average mobile game and await it to sell. Shame that Namco Bandai pulled the game instead of fixing its controls. If you're dying for some Galaga Legions DX, the Xbox 360 version is yet available.

We've reached out to the publisher virtually the delisting and will update if they respond.
