Enemies

Enemies are the hostile entities you encounter throughout Galactic Glitch. They come in many forms across different areas, each with unique behaviors and attack patterns.

Overview

Enemies spawn in waves within combat sectors. Defeating all enemies in a sector clears the room and allows progression. Some enemies drop weapon blueprints, credits, and other pickups.

There are over 130 different enemies across 10 distinct areas, including regular enemies, evolved forms, and mini-bosses.

Stage 1: Asteroid Fields
