Packed with personality
Rebel Galaxy is one of the more fun-focused, arcade-y space tradey, zappy-laser combat sims out there. It's very much a pick-up-and-play experience, and you won't be punished for putting it aside and forgetting how to control your ship. The soundtrack is fantastic, full of dirty blues rock and hard country songs that set a wonderful tone, although there aren't quite enough songs to fill the many hours you're likely to spend playing. Although some people make a big deal out of it, I didn't find the single plane of movement to be a major hindrance - it appears to me simply a design choice motivated to facilitate the broadside-focused combat. And while it's lighter on the simulation side of things than say, EVE, or Elite: Dangerous, or the Starpoint series, the concessions it makes help it avoid some of the frustrations inherent to those games. You may occasionally find the challenge plateauing, and that's when you can feel the grind, but most of the time there's enough of a sense of purpose in the story to keep you involved. Also, the ability to interact with and change the various scenarios that may affect a space station or outpost - for instance, by intercepting an invasion force, or robbing a treasure ship packed with alien artefacts - makes the world feel delightfully alive. Rebel Galaxy is loaded with personality whilst still retaining the features and feel of what makes the space-exploration-combat-trade games so entertaining. If you're looking for a hardcore space sim, I'd look elsewhere, but for those not interested in having to memorise an actual flight manual in order to learn how to play, this might be the one for you.
