With so many gifts nowadays, limited time is a rare commodity. That’s why we help you and explain what kind of game Rebel Galaxy actually is and who could have fun with it.
What is Rebel Galaxy about?
Rebel Galaxy offers an open world that you can explore freely with your spaceship. You cannot land on planets, but there is enough to do in a vacuum. You manage missions for clients and collect resources through mining. Artifacts and wrecks to loot are also waiting for daring explorers in a vacuum. In addition, you trade with all kinds of alien races and make improvements for your spaceship.
In the fight against pirates you also need the extra firepower. The action scenes are atmospherically staged with pretty light effects. A certain pirate feeling is created by the combat system, which is reminiscent of seafaring. This is how you fire powerful broadsides from your space cruisers.
