How to play Cosmic Soldier on Mac
Game summary
In the game, you must locate 3 data cards and 4 "filters" that allow access to a secret file in the enemy data bank. Data cards and filters are located in different stars of the Quila system, which can be reached immediately via an air shuttle; all the information you need in order to locate the items can be obtained by talking to enemies. Once the items are in your possession, you must locate the data bank and get the file.

Play Cosmic Soldier on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Cosmic Soldier on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Cosmic Soldier installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Cosmic Soldier like you would on any PC.
