Decent Game. Trading and fetch quests.
Seems decent. Lot of time going from place to place though.

Rebel Galaxy
Description
Rebel Galaxy is a swashbuckling space adventure, with action-packed combat, exploration, discovery, trade, and “negotiation” with the outlandish denizens at the edge of the known universe.
As the commander of an immensely powerful star destroyer, you’ll battle pirates, explore anomalies, befriend aliens, scavenge battle wreckage, mine asteroids, and discover artifacts. Choose your path as a roguish do-gooder, crafty space-trader or power-hungry privateer – or maybe a little of each! Buy larger and more powerful craft with your hard-earned credits, and outfit them with a variety of wicked weapons and defenses. Set in a galaxy of fantastic sights, and secrets to be found, Rebel Galaxy is above all a space epic of adventure, exploration, and combat.
The edge of the universe is a pretty dangerous place, so watch your back.

8/10
Cinematic starship combat and a (final) frontier atmosphere give Rebel Galaxy a great hook.

75/100
Rebel Galaxy simplifies the formula in an approachable and exciting way, but the 2D space combat, lack of direction and loneliness of single-player space-faring hold it back from reaching the epic scale of other space sims. A fun solo venture, but it won't suck out thousands of your hours.

7.8/10
With a vast world with a huge amount to do, set in a space western and an outstanding soundtrack to accompany it, Rebel Galaxy has a simple but engaging and visually spectacular combat system. Rebel Galaxy has more than enough to keep you engaged, though best played in small doses.

Battle mechanic ruins experiance
This game looks a lot like a bunch of other similar "modern" space battle games like Starpoint Gemini 2 but with less ships and poorer immersion. However the worst thing in it is that the developers chose to be different by implementing a controversial battle mechanic where the ships can only fire their main weapons in a broadside fashion like the ancient sail ships. This mechanism is completely ridiculous and at least for me ruins the entire game experiance since you have to make time consuming maneuvers just to be able to fire the damn main weapons.

Great idea, poor execution.
There was so much opportunity for a great game. I was expecting Firefly/Serenity. The chance to enter a planet and explore was completely overlooked and bypassed. So much depth would have been added to such an incredibly shallow game. No "up" or "down" in a space game; completely absurd. Everything is on a flat plane. The ships move like ships on an ocean, not spaceships. You literally cannot point your ship upwards or downwards; you can only move left or right, exactly like a giant oceanliner. So agonizingly slow to move the ships around. "Space" battles are terrible, you only shoot sideways like a pirate ship. It feels exactly like pirate ship battles in space. Really terrible. The quests are all exactly the same. Go there, get in a battle. Rinse repeat. Super shallow. The rpg element is almost non-existent. Upgrade a few weapons once. Only 5 different ships to choose from with no customization at all. The scales for distance and velocity are all wrong and feel wrong. Warp effects were lackluster. Awesome soundtrack. They get 2 stars for the soundtrack alone. Bangin! The music was the only thing that kept me going. It really was perfect. Too bad everything else sucked.
