Awesome game (but not storywise)

6h into the game I've been really enjoying it - the world reminds me a lot of Firefly - instant nostalgia! Nice music and all. The 2D limited movement was a bit strange at first, but it certainly takes much of the 3D navigation complexity out! Upgrading your ship(s) feels also very rewarding! There is story in the game, but I admit I got sidetracked into sidequests so it's been progressing very slowly for me - but from the looks of it, it's not a narrative driven game. I was tempted to keep playing, but being a point'n'click adventure gamer, I'd rather invest my time in some shorter (20+20h is a bit too much for me) primarily story-driven game. Nonetheless, if you enjoy blowing ships, upgrading weaponry, trading, and roaming around, this game is definitely very fun!!!!

Fun, rough-edged, Firefly simulator

Rebel Galaxy is not terribly deep, and this is not merely a pun on its navigation. You won't find the likes of X3's intricacies, or Freespace 2's excellent plot, or 3D flight at all, but what is there I would describe as a fun Han Solo or Firefly simulator in partial 3D with a distinctive Southern US twang. Dropping you into a distinctly rusty end of space, the relatively thin plot is a convenient excuse for you to make a great deal of money and convert that into better equipment, larger ships, and more pretty explosions. The combat is satisfying if not sophisticated, and not since Freespace 2 have I had as much fun with beam lasers and cannon fire glittering inbetween the stars. Each outpost within each system is its own little political microcosm which produces and imports certain goods, but can vary due to being at war, or in famine, or in a tech boom etc. You can gain reputation with factions around the systems by doing missions for them, or just interfering as you see fit. Respond to a distress call, help out a trader under attack, and Citizenry will gain some reputation and the trader will give you some money. You can trade with that trader directly or you can go the route of the pirate, demand they hand over their cargo, or destroy a relief ship on the way to a famine-stricken world and thereby inflate food prices higher. The choice is yours & as a playground, Rebel Galaxy is quite interesting if a little static for those looking for true sandboxes. Great if shallow fun for a few days. Some finishing tips: Hull and equipment in it are unlinked; you can finish the game in a corvette or a dreadnaught; just a matter of how much firepower you have in turrets vs speed. Missions are where the money and rep is; just beware escort and protect missions that might intersect unfortunately with the game universe's varying behaviour. Get Rank 8 with Merchants Guild to get EMP ablation. If you hate the music, you can hook custom soundtracks (but I loved the themes).

Nearly great, but not great

video review: https://ugetube.com/watch/rebel-galaxy-one-minute-game-review_PMgzSvlYfE2C2i9.html great soundtrack (in the Rebel Galaxy\music folder), but at the start of the game you're pretty weak compared to everyone else in the game. Do simple missions, mining, and avoid combat to start. Reminds me of Tradewars from the BBS days. We loved it so much my kids bought it onsale to use on their computer too.

Different / Better than RG Outlaw

Picked it up on sale and definitely worth a try. Scratches that space trucker / naval combat itch pretty good. A lot less tedious to get into than Elite Dangerous, but missing that sense of scale. It's better than it's sequel Rebel Galaxy Outlaw in my opinion, which is just a different kind of game rather than an improvement on this one's formula.

Down to earth fun!

Pros: The eye candy and fx still hold up for an older game. More importantly, the story and semi open-world feel is quite good. And the music definitely sets the tone for a Firefly feel. Wait for a sale as it happens quite often. Oh and it is not 3D space combat rather 2D. But I don't think that detracts from the game. Cons: It's not 3D space. For some space simmers this is a no-go. I do find frequently the combat has an insane scaling. Pirates are EVERYWHERE. Basic tips when starting out: 1. Don't leave systems early. 2.Get upgrades: Engines to run away, Cargo expanders to carry more stuff, secondaries to intercept missiles. 3.Do missions that avoid combat (pick up, cargo delivery) 4.Run away. A lot. The better engines for this are the ones that have a long boosting time. 5.You can steer and avoid red dots (hostiles) also in warp Anyway I still play this now and then. And there is also a semi-sequel (Rebel Galaxy Outlaw) that is a more rpg-style and many changes/enhancements if that is up your alley.
