This is a very simple and short resource-collection game with a peaceful feeling. There's no combat, no NPCs, and no noteworthy story aside from "repair your ship and go home." You never leave the ship you start in. The entire game is spent running around between control terminals where you can manually mine, build ship components, and eventually trade, auto-mine, and auto-build. It's basically a first-person clicker with a couple of minigames. There is a manual mining mini-game in the early part of the game. The controls can be a bit confusing at first, but I very quickly got the hang of them and was quickly grabbing space rocks like a pro. If I were forced to use this mini-game for the whole play experience, I probably would have grown tired of it, but you very quickly unlock an auto-miner function that takes care of it all for you. By the end game, you never need to use the mining claw again, although it can be a fun way to pass the time waiting for your auto-miner and auto-fabrica...

About This Game
With your main propulsion systems disabled you are unable to traverse space, so you try to collect resources you find near you in order to create a galactic portal to return back.
According to avionics, the part of the galaxy in which you landed is an inhabited zone called EXO-1 and you are in Oasis' orbit, which is this zone's capital. Try to mine, craft, research technologies and trade resources with the local residents in this relaxed, slow-paced, resource-managment and story driven space exploration game.
Foreign Galaxies is a slow-paced First-Person exploration/resource gathering game. In this game you will collect various ores in many different planets according to your needs with the Miner Module of your spaceship:

With the resources you collect you can research and expand your spaceship. In more detail, you will be able to unlock a Fabricator Module, with which you will craft complex items, from the raw resources that you collect. Additionally, you will unlock automatic tools to help you mine and fabricate items fast and idly. You will also get various improvements and upgrades for your ship, as well as a Trading Console which will allow you to trade with the local population of each planet you visit!

All of this effort for the one simple yet absolute goal in your mind, to return home.
Come explore the vast unknown!

Gathering resources and unlocking excisting but locked sections of the ship. Feels like an escape room where instead of searching for clues you need to mine. Cons: 1. Mining arm's controls are terrible, it might work better from a controller, but from keyboard it is an excercise in frustation (fortunately autominer helps a lot, but it needs to be unlocked) 2. You can unlock some existing sections through research, move some boxes around, but not actually modify ship. Yet ship looks like it was made in a sandbox from blocks, with very little decoration. 3. Not atmospheric. Doesn't feel like you are in scape, or on a spaceship. 4. Minor Bugs and UI issues. Mining arm clips through things, sometimes catches multiple asteroids that start to clip into each other, scroll is slow in fabricator.
Good game. Enjoyed it.
Its... almost fine. It feels like a bunch of little systems that don't really work on their own, and don't fit togeather, and are all a bit unrefined. I was hoping for a Noctis 4 or something, and got a weird QWOPlike for 1 hour, followed by a waiting simulator for an hour, followed by spam clicking simulator for half an hour.
A fun experience, not hard on your time and definitely not hard on the wallet. If your looking for a little relaxing resource gathering, this is for you.
Fun cheap game.
Very Relaxed and simple game. Would be nice if there where more upgrades for the ship systems in the likes of a tractor beam replacement for the grabber arm or an extended reach for the grabber arm or more resource bins for collecting asteroids.
Relatively short game, but worth its price of $5. There isn't much story to speak of, and the mechanics are very simple to pick up. I don't know the dev's primary language, so it's possible that English may not be, but I'm a little disappointed by the spelling errors. It feels a lot like having an assignment turned in without having proofread it. The low-poly graphics are charming, and I liked the little scavenger hunting for clues to unlock the crates on the ship for little optional trophy objects. The UI could use a couple of quality-of-life tweaks in some places, but it's not unplayable. There's a definite end to the game, but the ending was one I wasn't quite expecting, and I loved that. All in all, for the small price tag, would recommend for a short, relaxing gaming session.
Neat little resource gathering, automation, and exploration game. Love the aesthetic and how relaxing it is. There's not a TON here to do as it's a very short game, but it's still pretty cool.
good game. i liked it. only bad thing is there's no settings menu when your in the spaceship. apart from that, it was fun to play
