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.

Good game - just fix the music

Saw it on sale here - surpassed my expectations! Think of it as a mix between Pirates and Starlancer/Freelancer (but playing with large ships!) Good points: Addictive gameplay - I find myself playing 'just one more mission' - bounty rewards and progression are well-paced. Ship upgrades are meaningful and 'just' the right price - you work hard for them but it feels so satisfying to go back to previously challenging areas and breeze through the enemies. Open world gameplay - you can ignore the main storyline. If you find a sudden difficulty spike too challenging there are always easier side quests to do to lvl up. They have a very handy and intuitive 'threat level' indicator which tells you if you are too underpowered for an area. Combat strategy is deep and satisfying. Unlike some other space-sims which are very 'twitchy' and require joystick to play, you don't need to be quick for this one. Instead with slower moving capital ships, you quickly learn the importance of positioning and timing when to attack and when to shield up. You can customise behaviour of weapon turrets for more strategic depth. Decent voice acting - all the NPC spoken lines are voice-acted. HUGE world map - there are 10+ star systems in the sector map, and its been taking me 5hours+ to level up enough to feel comfortable in the next more difficult system. Bad points: Gameplay does get repetitive and 'grindy' after a while. All locations look similar. Original soundtrack is not to my taste and got annoying quickly. (Thankfully there's a handy custom music function which allows you to import your own mp3/ogg files - it's even classified into ambient/combat/idle etc sections so the music is context-dependent. I managed to enjoy the game so much more after replacing the soundtrack with something more orchestral and epic - try looking for soundtracks from RPGs - music from 'Spellforce' surprisingly works well despite the different genre, other ideas would be music from Freespace 1 or 2.)

Cool setting, lukewarm gameplay

Pros: - Departs from the standard sci-fi feel of spacey music to give you something more rustic that really sells the more dirty, Firefly-like, piratey setting - The concept of naval style combat is a pleasant diversion from the more forward firing fighter style combat that's prevalent in the genre - Voice acting is good and covers pretty much all interactions - Ship designs are nice and diverse Cons: - The story is just lame. It does little more than sending you to a few different systems and blow something up. There are incredibly few stages to the whole story and each part feels really insubstantial. - Broadsides end up not being all that important. Every ship comes with turrets as well and even though they are only firing at half power when you are manning the broadsides, they still tend to outperform the broadsides in DPS. Granted the broadsides do pack a punch and you absolutely need them for any of the tougher enemies but it dilutes the combat style. - Combat difficulty spikes around halfway through and then plummets as you reach the biggest ships. - The progression from to more powerful ships and (more importantly) equipment is a very slow grind because you'll always be stuck doing "mild" or "very mild" missions until you're basically done with the game. This drags out the playtime beyond pleasant levels - The upgrades you get from the main quest are laughably inconsequential. When starting out I expected an artefact hunt and upgrade tree like in Dark Star One but you only get a handful of meh improvements. - The world is significantly smaller than Freelancer or Dark Star One. I a weird way this game feels too long and not long enough at the same time. There's fun to be had especially thanks to the superb battle music. But it doesn't reach the greatness of more iconic spaceship shooters.

A wild space game

You´re gonna like this game if you like "Cowboy Bebop" or "Firefly". There is also a second game. Rebel galaxy outlaw which is even better and with mod support.

Great for 2 dimensional space I guess

The simplicity of spaceflight in this game is simple, yet frustrating. Not being able to fly fully on the x/y axis and not being able to maneuver in any other ways. Its a double edged sword on that though so if you want functional yet simplictic, this is 4 you. But if you're looking more for flight sim ... this would be a no. The storyline making this into a sort of "space western" with the music and dialoge was a nice feel. I do recommend that the devs make a flight sim version 4 the fighter junkies
