Rebel Galaxy

This is such a chill "space western." It doesn't take long to beat, easy to pick-up and put-down, basically that perfect "in between" game. The story isn't fantastic but is enough to keep you vested in completing it. It plays quite liner but you are under no obligation to do each step of the story to get better ships and equipment. You can jump between all except one system (locked behind story) once you make enough credits to buy the jump drive. There is a bit of a challenge when it comes to combat missions, and some can be downright difficult if you are under prepared. I highly recommend!

Seemed alright to begin with starting out, for me, the music feels a bit out of place for a space enviroment - but I get the rebel undertone it was going for. Thought after stopping at a distress signal I have a grasp on combat, killed a few small ships and a missile cruiser and moved on. Grabbed some missions, VERY LOW RISK, it claimed. I had three tries trying to do this very low risk mission, just constantly being bombarded by missiles from two cruisers while small bombers tore me to shreds over and over. Maybe I missed a trick, but, even landing broadside hits on one of them (focused it to try and kill it) I couldn't even dent its shields.

actual hot garbage. tried to like it but i bought a sniper laser for it to miss all the shots. and yes the game cuz all you get to do is charge up the side and press a button. Could look over the fact it's just menu if the space part was any good. approaching or leaving space stations slows to an awful crawl for no reason. You make it a point to not hit the environment so why is that different? Again combat is just wack. No way to aim. Maneuverability is literally left and right. No up no down no roll dodge so no way of actually evading enemies. I should've stopped but I wanted to like it and now I'm down a dollar. I should've bought an arizona tea and it would have been better spent. I can't imagine buying this game at full price. Refunding the other one cuz this was abysmal.

Got this game at a great discount, and for the prize of a quarter of sandwich, I got 45 hours of fun wandering around the galaxy. Learning curve is perfect (using all the tools and tactics is not necessary at the beginning, but it becomes relevant and enjoyable later on), the naval combat system is solid (different combat styles can be tried depending on ship, weapons and components). But most of all, the atmosphere is spot on, I could feel the pleasure of being a space cowboy.

Космические сражения управляя кораблем, выполняя задания исследуя сектора космоса временами занимаясь торговлей товаров. Большой выбор кораблей, как оружия и оборудования к нему ,от вас зависит на чем пойдете бить пиратов к примеру. На большом дредноуте, увешанном кучей турелей или ворветесь в бой на юрком фрегате. Плюсы: Большой выбор кораблей как и классов оных Оружие начиная от турелей и заканчивая минами, плюс можно ставить разное оборудование, зависит от ваших денег) Есть гильдии в которые можно вступить и получать плюшки за определенные ранги в них Враги начиная от истребителей и заканчивая огромные кораблями, и их может еще больше в бою смотря куда ввяжетесь Прекрасные саундтреки, можно свою музыку запихнуть в игру Космические бои, где просто стрелять не получится нужно обдумывать стратегию сражения ведь даже юркие истребители с пиявочными снарядами могут вам обломать бой)) Кучу разных гильдий, вступив в определенную можно со временем купить корабль и оборудование которых нет у других выполняя задания и повышая ранг в ней Есть наемники на разные кораблях ,которых можно взять в группу в бою мешать не будут Есть товары можно купить или найти в космосе, как и выбить в ходе боя с корабля и потом продать подороже Различные события происходящее в системе, где вы в данный момент находитесь. Какие повышают цены или снижают на определенные товары, где то появляется осада или вторжение инопланетных захватчиков, блокада станции определенной фракции и т д Минусы: Некоторые задания, выполняя их вы повышаете репутацию данной гильдии но снижаете у другой. К примеру задание от торговой гильдии забрать товар в точке но встретив в том месте пиратов Красного Солнца и атаковав их в ходе задания снижаете у них свою репутацию. Так и будет до конца игры, трудно не наткнутся на такие подлянки от заданий где не написано с какой гильдии репутацию ухудшаете Опять же задания не отличаются разнообразием выбором выполнения .Убить кого то, забрать посылку, отвезти товар туда то, защитить кого то и помочь добраться до точки назначения Сюжет можно пройти за часов 30 если не заморачиваться с достижениями и дополнительными заданиями и чисто идти по нему. Однообразные системы , местами там солнце или красный карлик ,но не особы разные те же станции астероиды пираты названия только меняются и расстояние друг от друга внутри сектора и количество

[h1]Love the Carnage![/h1] Playing this through for the second time (my first was on PSN) was an excellent decision - I'm still amazed by how awesome it is. Sure, it has its flaws, but for such a complete package, I don't care! The game is 3rd-person view spaceship shooter, although it's worth noting that the camera can swing around a full 360 view around your craft. There is no z-axis spatial movement, but this is actually a good thing as a fully 3-dimensional free movement game would have maybe been too complicated. You start off in a p00py ship, but the game progresses in a semi-exponential way, with the cost of upgrades showing where you are in the game's toughness scale. Endlessly refreshing missions might start in the 1000s, then move up to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and eventually end up with missions that give out around 2 million in rewards. Gear and ships follow a similar cost curve. The system map gives a rough estimate of how hard it is based on your current equips and ship class. Bear in mind that even in low difficulty maps, you can still have super hard encounters, so it's a case of just watching the radar (and pulsing often if you're not used to it). I had a mission early on in the starter system that had mission objective ships that were easy to deal with, but also a random encounter 'hard' patrol of ships that just happened to be in the same area. It's just bad luck occasionally, often fixed by coming around and trying from a different side of the nebula, for example. One thing I've noticed is you can't save and quit in the middle of your ship getting swarmed and overpowered, as it will just load you up in the same position. THIS WILL RUIN YOUR SAVE FILE, and you'll have to start again. Easiest thing to do is just let the game save for you when you go to a space station for repairs or to buy something. I love the gameplay. The unique combination of a kind of drunk Han Solo type of soundtrack, slapping his knee and finger holding down the lasers trigger, with Chewie laughing in his unique way, just really set the mood for the mindless slaughterfest. Various types of aliens, bandits, and you can even turn your sights on the military and just kill indiscriminately. Of course you'll want to be able to go places to repair and refit so don't alienate everyone! I had a little bit of trouble getting my audio just right. I have an unusual setup at the moment, where I have 5.1 speakers but I don't have the back left and right satellite connected, so technically I have 3.1. I discovered that when I had it set as stereo, there was a huge imbalance with music, voice and combat and engine sound effects. I went to 5.1 and even though it's 3.1, the combat and engine sounded so much better. Warp speed is the dodgy part of the game for me. Travelling to your mission area is fraught with random speed slowdowns and random encounters, so much so that it does get a bit tiresome. What happens is, regardless of what Warp Engine you install, the game will deliberately slow the apparent movement so you can more easily divert if you want. The other part of this is collision prevention, which often pulls you to a grinding halt for no other reason than a near-miss with an asteroid. This happens far more often than it should, considering the size of your craft. I often steer the ship during warp, trying to avoid any suspicious nebulae I see forming in the distance. There are a variety of missions to choose from. There are rescues, picking up dead drop cargo and getting out after an ambush (great for high defence, fast ships), total war (sometimes even 3-way faction fights, utter chaos), and even escorts (but I tend to avoid anything I think has a chance of failure). Some of these battles can be colossal. Dreadnoughts and fighters all over, lasers and missiles and missile warnings and explosions literally EVERYWHERE, but I ran the game at max settings for 2560 resolution and had zero glitches, no lag, no crashes. That is some quality work, even if I had OBS recording as well. So maybe you're interested in some fun gameplay, or take a break from your favourite genre? This game might be for you.

A bit grindy, but still fun. Combat is more like a sailing game than a sci-fi space game. No dog fighting, most of your fire power comes from the broadside cannons, with a few auto turrets to augment. It's more than just fighting, though the side quests are basically limited to fetch quests, escort missions, and combat. The map is massive, and it is totally open world. The ship designs are fantastic and being able to not only upgrade your components, but buy a new ship entirely is a fun feature. Feels like there's something to work towards!
