It seems like it does require Galaxy. First I thought that was an Early Access problem, but the review from cocconutwireless is from the release version and still states that the offline version isn't usable.

There seems to be a workaround:

But in the state that GOG offers the game, it doesn't seem to be DRM-free. Probably it's accidental DRM that the dev doesn't bother to fix. But still it makes the offline version unusable without fixing it (just as some DRM can be 'fixed' by cracking)

Can someone alert me, when the issue is fixed by the devs or GOG?

The game does not require Galaxy.
My computer game is offline permanent.
Just follow the UltraComboTv instructions in the link provided by Lifthrasil.
