Lightning Thief
Born of storm and shadow, the Lightning Thief traps spells in enchanted bottles. Each bottle holds a spark of chaos, ready to strike at just the right moment.
Master the skies, bend fate to your will, and turn every treasure you collect into a tempest.
⚡️ Available now in the store for 500 💎 gems.
Merrily
She sings, she sparkles, and she surges with power! The mermaid Merrily turns every tide in your favor — cast spells and grow powerful allies. Merrily is always ready to make waves.
Bubbles, giggles, and just a splash of chaos—this mermaid’s not just here for the tunes.
🧜♀️ Available now in the store for 500 💎 gems!
Charon
From the shadowed shores of the underworld comes Charon, the undead boatman who thrives on defeat. Each time your first character is knocked out, it grows stronger.
Replace your Gold characters to amplify Charon’s power and build an unstoppable ally that can never be knocked out again.
Cross the river. Pay the toll. Win fabulous prizes.
🪦 Now available in the store for 500 💎 gems.
We are increasing the frequency at which we introduce new Captains to the game. One way we will be doing that is by adding Premium Captains to the in-game shop for 500 💎gems. Just like with the Premium Galaxy Pass captain, these captains will be automatically unlocked for free after 2 months. This means that Lightning Thief, Merrily and Charon will become free with the early September Patch.
Community Challenge #4: What does it do?
For this issue’s community challenge, we are sharing with you a never before seen character from Once Upon a Galaxy! It is your job to tell us what you think this card does?
Without further ado, his mouth is as full as his heart and his name is Jaws! What does it do?
Share your responses with each other on our Discord, Reddit, or Bluesky using #PlayGalaxy. We’ll show off the real card in the next edition of the Galaxy Gazette!
Re-roll Engaged
With the mid-July patch, we have removed the ability to force quit at Captain Select in order to get all new options. Instead we have implemented a new reroll feature! Your captain in slot 3 can always be rerolled once per run! Additionally, you’ll occasionally see Captains in this slot before you reroll that you do not own. You can either purchase those captains and unlock them forever or reroll. The new captain will always be one you own.
The moment is upon us and we need YOUR help!
Once Upon a Galaxy is now available on Steam and we’d really appreciate your help leaving a review and spreading the word! Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning of the closed beta or you’ve just discovered us, we couldn’t be more excited to have such an amazing group of players providing feedback and helping us make Once Upon a Galaxy the best game it can be!
If you’re enjoying your time in our little Galaxy, leaving a Steam review is one of the most powerful ways you can help our small team. Reviews don’t just boost visibility — they help new players discover the game, shape our future development, and keep this galaxy expanding.
We read every single one, and your words mean more than you know.
