On a superficial level, Galactrix is to Mass Effect as the original Puzzle Quest was to generic RPG fantasy settings of all kinds. Instead of being attached to a character class, you now grow your character's abilities by investing points in four core stats. What your character will be good at is dictated largely by how you've spent your level-up points. Your abilities in combat will be a blend of your character's intrinsic skills, and various weapons and traits you've equipped to your spaceship. Customizing your spaceship works a bit like customizing your character with gear did in the original Puzzle Quest, but your choices are far more important to victory. Instead of your character having a HP bar, damage in Puzzle Quest: Galactrix first reduces a ship's shields, and then begins affecting the ship's HP. In a very welcome addition to preparing for battles, your protagonist actually has three spaceship slots and can pick which slot he or she wants to use before a fight.
