Game summary

An updated and re-branded version of the original game. "The long awaited DLC for GALAK-Z is finally upon us! We are rebranding GALAK-Z to reflect the update as well as to make it clear that the new content opens up a whole new way to play. With newly implemented Online Leaderboards, The Void game mode provides an endless playground for players to showcase their moment-to-moment survival skills and to post their scores as a challenge to friends and foes alike. GALAK-Z is all about honing one’s ability to dexterously pilot their ship and to strategically leverage the mech form to take on any set of enemies and environmental hazards. While GALAK-Z still has the narrative based procedurally generated Rogue and Arcade story modes, The Void focuses on the essence of GALAK-Z while providing an ever-escalating difficulty curve to challenge even the most skilled player. And to help encourage true competition, we have introduced the Daily Challenge that provides the same unique loadout and level layout seed for all who participate each and every day. Players can come back daily to see who will top the leaderboards."
First released: May 2016

Play GALAK-Z: The Void on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play GALAK-Z: The Void 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).

GALAK-Z: The Void installation steps for Mac

Step 1
