The Gameplay

---

Galaxy of Heroes is a turn-based role-playing game that includes characters and ships from the Star Wars universe, including films, animated series, and Knights of the Old Republic. Players take on the role of a Holotable Hero, tasked with collecting holographic characters and ships for use in holotable fights. With a squad of characters or ships, battles can be played in both a player-versus-environment (PVE) and a player-versus-player (PVP) mode.

 

Characters and ships can be obtained by collecting shards; they will be unlocked or leveled up if enough shards have been collected. Shards can be obtained in various methods, the most common of which are as a drop from completing a PVE level or by purchasing with in-game currency. Also, each character and ship possess unique abilities which can be used with other characters to create a powerful team. Effects such as buffs and de-buffs have an important rule of their own.

 

As the player level increases, a player will be able to unlock more game content. You will find different contents in different holotables, with a specific requirement to play them. After reaching level 20, the players can join guilds to unlock more content.

 

 

How to Start?

---

To play this game, you need to have a strong internet connection. The game begins with the background story and then moves to the tutorial. The game has an auto-battle system, so you don’t have to fight using controls. You can just watch the entire battle. As a player, you create powerful teams that will automatically complete the levels.

 

 

Characters and Ships

A player can obtain various characters by collecting character shards. While obtaining Ships, you have to collect their blueprints.
