Pirates and Unexpected Nostalgia

Did you ever watch Firefly and think to yourself, "Man I wish they made a video game out of this?" Well, Rebel Galaxy is that video game. If you don't get that reference, let me outline the feeling of Rebel Galaxy for you. The moment you load up the game, you are hit with the opening notes of a country song out of a dark western. It sets the mood for a space frontier game where you do what you have to in order to survive and make a living. Outrun space pirates and local militia alike and strike unstable alliances as you make your own way in the galaxy as a trader, a scavenger, a smuggler, a pirate, a miner or a bit of everything After a brief introduction you are given a ship and purpose and from there on out, you do whatever you see fit. Follow the main storyline or just set out for the stars, doing odd jobs at remote space stations. You start off with a dingy cargo ship that barely holds up in combat and through earning credits, you work your way up to massive battleships that strike fear into the heart of your enemies. While you can plow straight through the game's storyline, ignoring all the optional missions and contracts, you will be tight for credits in terms of repairing and upgrading your ship. The upgrade system is deep and interesting, requiring you to remember where to acquire certain parts and leaving room for slightly different playstyles. Do you want to be a fast devil, dodging through combat and engaging in borderline dogfights? Or would you rather captain a slow moving hunk of metal with enough firepower to wipe out a small star system? While the game suffers due to the fact that all movement is done only on the X axis, exploration and combat still feels satisfying. Additionally, the game's storyline is not particularly strong or innovative. It is a fun experience and has interesting ideas, but holds little to no surprises for avid gamers. Recommended for any scoundrel who ever wanted to roam the open skies as a free man.

fun but very repetative

I had fun early on in the game as i was learning the ropes, buying and upgrading some ships, but it got boring very quickly as I realized that the rest of the game would be just doing exactly what i was doing already. Start in this space area, build your ship, go on missions which just repeated and repeated. Go fetch this, go kill this. You can try trading, but unless your very lucky you'll wind up carrying junk around until eventually you might find a place to sell, and if full you can't pick up loot as you roam about. Then you move to the next space area, and do the same stuff. Just with your stronger ship, and against stronger ships. Fight after fight.. all the same. over and over. I got bored in the 2nd space area, and oh, there are like 4 more areas to go! great.. no thanks, im bored in this one.

I liked it so much, I bought it TWICE

It has progression, sea based side type battles which isn't that much of a stretch to get used to and makes fighting a lot of ships more manageable, a decent choice of missions if you want to pick any of them (not required to progress). It's fun, it does have a Freelancer feel to it without being a cheap knock off and it plays tight with no bugs. If you're looking for a space captain game with the elements I've mentioned that is a nice solo experience, take a look.

You do nothing in most of the game

Battles are fun, but most of the game is spent slowly travelling from one place to another.

Western-Space Arcade Shooter Too Shallow

Rebel Galaxy has at least the trappings for a fun Western inspired Sci-Fi themed ship combat 'simulator'. I use the term simulator loosely as this really doesn't simulator anything close to ship-to-ship combat. For what, you are only flying in a 2D plane, there is no verticality here. And second, the controls are dead simple and not very challenging. The game at least looks good, but after the okay-to-good voice acting and nice looking ships wears off you have a game without much depth or excitement. Here's how the game works: You receive your first mission from a generic space station. You then proceed to a waypoint on your map, kill some ships, and then go to the next waypoint. You will be doing a lot of combat and sadly it's just not that fun. You have 3 different weapons: Turrets mounted on your ship that you will largely let automatically fire at things, a secondary weapon which shoots some weapons out to the side (not targetable), and then a powerful broadside targetable attack. This broadside attack makes up most of the damage. It's very similar to Black Flag only requires even less aiming. It is mildly amusing at first but gets much worse as the game goes on. All Space Station with very few minor differences are essentially the same. They all have a Bar Tender, they all have a market (really just a list of good you can purchase or sell), and they all have some ability to let you buy new ships or outfit your current one. You will be constantly interrupting when traveling. You'll learn to ignore the distress beacons as the payoff just isn't worth going for. And then there's the grind, you will have to make money some how and there isn't a lot of efficient or more importantly, fun ways to go about it. All the side missions - which are spit out automatically in a procedurally generated fashion, are just facsimiles of each other.
