Gameplay
editPlayers control a group of friends who are playing a tabletop science fiction role-playing game. The stories and friends make many pop culture references to science fiction franchises and authors. The in-game characters can perform side quests, fight turn-based battles against enemies, and engage in ship battles. It mixes retro pixel art and 3D graphics.[1]

Reception
editOn Metacritic, Galaxy of Pen & Paper received mixed reviews for Windows and positive reviews for iOS.[5] RPGamer said the turn-based combat is nothing special, but they enjoyed the spaceship combat.[1] RPGFan said it has charming moments but is a missed opportunity because players never learn anything about the in-game friends who are playing the game.[6] Pocket Gamer enjoyed the humor, pop culture references, and gameplay. They called it "brilliant, entertaining, wonderfully balanced".[7] Gamezebo said it was not as good as Knights of Pen & Paper' but was still fun. Though they encountered some bugs, they felt the humor was fresher than the fantasy-based Knights.[8]
