Rebel Galaxy - Review @ VGBlogger

VGBlogger have a positive review of Rebel Galaxy.

Rebel Galaxy is a visually stunning game. Flying at warp speed through star systems rich with junk and ice and asteroid belts is truly a sight to behold. Flying too close to a planet and having the gravitational friction heat and blur the screen is another wondrous touch. Volleys of missiles and streams of lasers aiming with deadly accuracy at your spacecraft is a feast for the eyes. Hell even the size and scope of ships is truly mesmerizing. The initial ship players begin with pales in comparison to the massive size of a Dreadnaught class ship. Underneath the gorgeous hood, every ship has different turret loadouts and carrying capacities, and the speed and handling for each craft feels markedly different (and that’s a good thing).

One final item that can’t be overlooked is the music. Rebel Galaxy has a fantastic rockabilly sentiment that is highly reminiscent of the TV show Firefly. It’s a sort of twangy trucker rock ‘n roll that adds a wonderful layer to the game’s atmosphere. However, for players who grow tired of the same tracks playing over again and again, the developers offer an option to load custom music when the game launches, which is a nice touch.

Currently Rebel Galaxy is available only on PC/Mac, but Double Damage has plans to launch the game on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at some point in the future, so console gamers have great things to look forward to. Players who enjoy a good story will not be disappointed. Players who love tactical combat will not be disappointed. Players who love visually stunning space battles and exploration will not be disappointed. In other words, Rebel Galaxy is a gem of game that should not be missed.

Thanks Eye.
