Galaxy Fight Club Review

Introduction

Galaxy Fight Club, or GFC for short, is the first Cross-IP PVP fighting game with a heavy focus on NFT collections. Their aim is to allow holders of different NFT collections to battle with each other to earn rewards through their play-and-earn mechanics.

Galaxy Fight Club’s vision is to build a truly open ecosystem with interoperability of digital items where the players, instead of the company, own their IP and use it as they see fit.

Gameplay

Galaxy Fight Club lets players bring their favorite NFT collections into battle, allowing them to fight as Cyberkong, Bored Ape, Deadhead, and more. The game starts with a basic tutorial, introducing the controls and mechanics. While it does its job, it feels outdated, especially considering how long the game has been around. After the tutorial, players are taken to the main menu, which has seen minor UI improvements, but the overall graphics remain unchanged over the years. 

Players can choose from five game modes, each offering a different style of play. Battle Royale is an 8-player free-for-all where the last person standing wins. Team Deathmatch (3v3) pits two teams against each other, with the team that racks up the most kills before the timer runs out claiming victory. Death Zone (3v3) introduces an objective-based mode similar to Capture the Flag, where teams must hold a designated area to gain points. The first team to reach 100% wins, or the team with the highest percentage when the timer ends takes the match. Training Mode allows players to practice their skills with AI-controlled bots, giving newcomers a chance to get familiar with the mechanics before jumping into real matches. Meanwhile, Custom Mode lets players create private lobbies, ideal for friendly matches or community-hosted tournaments.

The game’s progression system revolves around participating in matches to level up and unlock rewards through the battle pass. Players in 3v3 matches can earn Key Fragments and Lootboxes, which contain weapons and armour NFTs. However, unlocking these loot boxes requires $GCOIN, which creates a noticeable divide between players who own NFTs and those who don’t.

While free-to-play (F2P) players can enjoy the game, NFT holders have a massive advantage. Owning an NFT grants access to stronger weapons and armor, giving those players a significant edge in combat. Instead of relying on skill, winning often comes down to who has the better gear. If you don’t have upgraded weapons or NFTs, you’ll likely struggle against opponents who can eliminate you in just three hits. This creates an imbalance that makes it difficult for new players or F2P users to compete on equal footing.

The matchmaking system is decent, usually taking 1-2 minutes to find a game. However, the real issue is fairness—sometimes, you’ll be matched against opponents with high-tier NFT weapons that can wipe you out instantly. This makes matches feel more like a test of spending power rather than skill.

The game isn’t without technical issues, and some of them can be quite frustrating. One of the most noticeable problems is the unresponsive joystick, which sometimes becomes “sticky” or stops working altogether. Ping spikes and lag can make aiming and movement feel delayed, while hit registration issues lead to attacks not landing properly. One area that could enhance the player experience is the addition of a ranking system. Currently, beginners may find themselves matched against high-level or highly skilled players, which can make early matches feel more challenging. 

Review

Galaxy Fight Club brings an exciting concept to the table, allowing NFT holders to battle it out using their favorite collections. The gameplay is easy to pick up, and the variety of game modes adds some replayability. However, the experience feels unpolished in certain areas. The lack of a ranking system makes matchmaking unpredictable, and the clear advantage given to NFT holders over free-to-play players creates an uneven playing field. While the idea of blending different NFT projects into one fighting game is innovative, the execution leans too much into pay-to-win mechanics, making skill less important than the gear you own.

On the technical side, the game could use some improvements, especially in controls, hit registration, and stability. The movement joystick occasionally becomes unresponsive, and lag spikes can make combat feel inconsistent. Despite these issues, Galaxy Fight Club still offers a fun, casual experience for those who enjoy quick matches and NFT integration. If the developers focus on balancing gameplay and refining mechanics, the game has the potential to grow into something much more engaging for both NFT holders and free-to-play players alike.
