👓 Lonster's Review:
Galactic Warriors feels like the blueprint for later mech fighters. It’s clunky, weird, and totally charming. I love how it tried big ideas way ahead of its time.
🌟 Legacy:
While not widely remembered, it paved the way for mecha-themed fighters like Cyberbots, Gundam, and Tech Romancer. A hidden relic that influenced the genre’s roots.
✨ Cultural Impact:
Not a huge hit in its day, but Galactic Warriors laid early groundwork for robot brawlers. It’s often rediscovered by fans of vintage Konami experiments.
💭 Lonster's Final Thoughts:
This one’s pure 80s arcade curiosity — awkward and awesome at the same time. If you’re into retro robot fights, it’s a must-try oddity.
