Galacticare is a humorous economic strategy enriched with elements typical of medical simulators. The game features a sci-fi setting - it allows us to develop a network of space hospitals and treat alien races. It is the work of an independent British studio, Brightrock Games.

Gameplay

In Galacticare we are faced with the task of creating and managing a complex of medical facilities that treat aliens. Our responsibilities include the expansion of 23rd-century hospitals, including the preparation of rooms for various purposes (diagnostic rooms, laboratories, waiting rooms, etc.). We equip the rooms with specialized equipment (e.g. holographic doctors or teleporters), as well as furniture or cosmetic items.

We can provide assistance to galactic criminals, victims of industrial disasters, or farmers from remote outskirts. The aliens are distinguished by unusual symptoms and appearance, including biomechanical lemurs and creatures with sizes comparable to space shuttles. Although therapies in Galacticare often have unexpected effects (including disintegration), if successful, we can count on strengthening bonds with representatives of a specific race. Getting to know different cultures also provides additional rewards.

Galacticare is a very pleasant tycoon that doesn't force you to pause the game to attend to a million little annoying things. Neither is it a very complex game, where a single mistake might bury your hospital for good and send you to the "Game Over" screen. It is a leisurely, unhurried but enticing overall.

Use a Potion: 8 / 10

Galacticare is a wonderful hospital management sim that manages to feel unique thanks to its comically wacky intergalactic setting. Don’t get me wrong, it wears its inspirations like a big badge of honour and those who’ve played Theme Hospital will feel right at home thanks to the addictive yet familiar gameplay loop, but it also showcases enough of its own ideas to ensure it feels like more than just a clone of Bullfrog’s classic release. It’s just a ton of fun to play, with the campaign bringing with it plenty of bizarre yet engrossing scenarios to complete, the gameplay offering a streamlined approach that’ll appeal to both veterans and newbies of the genre, and the visuals bringing everything to life with the vibrant colours and unusual yet tantalising creature and ailment design.

GameSpew: 8 / 10 by Kim Snaith

Clearly inspired by Theme Hospital and Two Point Hospital, Galacticare takes humorous hospital management into deep space. Building the perfect hospital and helping patients from a range of species is every bit as enjoyable as its inspirations, and with high production values, there's a lot to like. Some of its humour might not quite land, but we think if you're a Theme Hospital fan, Galacticare is a no-brainer.
