Rebel Galaxy

I've been looking for some way to bring back that feeling of the old Privateer or Freelancer games. Nothing I've tried recently has kept my attention for very long... but I keep trying. So I picked up yet another in this little game... and it works. It's just plain fun. First off on the 2D flight. Yea sure it sounds like a turn-off. I can understand that. But it's fun. It really is fun and unique. I know it sounds like a lack of realism and all that and I can understand your hesitancy. But at the end of the day we're playing these games to have fun and I just love the broadsides feel. It's a refreshing and interesting take that works for me. Music. Holy crap the awesome music. If "Space Western" doesn't sound good to you then maybe you won't like this, but if you were a Firefly or Cowboy Beebop fan... then this just fits in that genre really well and the music brings the perfect atmosphere. It really is phenomenal. The story so far is intriguing. I'll update more when I get further along. It has promise but I can't vouch for the whole thing yet so I'll just say... promising so far. It makes me feel like the original Privateer did. I know something weird is going on and I really want to find out more. Other than all that the same space goodness exists. Missions, cargo, pirates, etc. Go watch some youtube gameplay. That's what I did and it convinced me to try it out.

I wanted to like this game. I wanted to a lot, but it has a complete lack of content. PERIOD. I completed the game in 2 or 3 days off of work and once I finished the story line I couldn't even tell. I kept doing a few missions waiting for the AI to pop back up and add more. Sadly this didn't happen. There is this illusion of MMO grinding to get the best stuff to continue on but it just that, an illusion. You can complete the entire game before you even have one of the killer ships. Seriously whats the point when all you need is the Barracuda and Mk6 weapons and shields? Final mission is a joke. The militia comes to help you and after some dialog of "Whew, that was tough!" it's over. I never thought I would say that I wish a game had some DLC. However, considering how short the vanilla story was it would need a lot of DLC to be worth grinding for the best ships. The positive reviews can only be explained by players that have played for the first hour or so. To be honest my first few hours of play I was stoked. Then I fell of a continental shelf of pleasure.

Excellent gameplay, with a short, underdeveloped campaign. Fun open world, a bit grindy. Too bad they went with another direction in the sequel.

I find this game to be quite entertaining. Nice graphics , nice game mechanics and nice storyline! It could use some diversity in its dialogue but then again its not too shabby. The battle system is a major plus because of its versatility and the ability to have a naval battle in space! All in all i enjoy this game!

Es un juego indie, a pesar de eso tiene una gran cantidad de naves una buena rejugabilidad y te permite rolear diversos personajes, la diplomacia es un poco basica pero te pone en la obligación de decidir bandos, aun con la mejor nave si no tenes un minimo de estrategía vas a perder el combate. el sistema de comercio esta bien pero se podría mejorar. Los componentes de las naves que tipo de naves querés pero aun asi es bastante lineal. La historia me gustó, el único punto flojo es el final. me parece un poco desaprobechado
