Rebel Galaxy Outlaw

meh, rubbish game, terrible handling, poor controls. galaxy on fire is light years better then this crap.

Well I finally got around to playing this game, and I like it. I cut my teeth on Star Raiders and later Wing Commander 1 and 2. I was a big fan of space combat games, but kind of gave up on the genre in the early 2000s. I did not want to play with keyboard and mouse, and they stopped making joysticks, and my Logitech Wingman X-Treme broke, and I was kinda broke. But now that my kids are teens I feel like I finally have some time to dip back into the genre some. This one is the first one I'd actually recommend. It's highly entertaining, feels good to play (I have a T.Flight HOTAS One now), and apparently you can get 100 hours out of it without even noticing. It's too bad the mod tools were never completed, because it seems like the underlying game is pretty robust. Sure there's a few glitches here and there, but it never crashed on me, has a fluid framerate, and it loads pretty quickly. I did some digging on Double Damage, and they just kind of gave up after releasing the game. That's too bad. I'd love to see a sequel that actually moves the genre forward, rather than just act as a love letter to Privateer. You can see the potential with squadmates, capital ships, and space stations. If you like games like the Wing Commander series, the X-Wing series, or space combat arcade games in general, I say give it a shot. I had way more fun than I thought I would with it, in spite of its flaws. I didn't use the auto-follow feature at all after trying it out. I've played a lot of this type of game, and I can find a target pretty easily. It felt too much like cheating, so I just unmapped the feature from my joystick. It's too bad only 1.5% of people ever get the Stick Jockey achievement. It opens up The Last Starvenger mission which leads Juno into a quasi-dangerous promotional stunt. Some of her best lines are voiced during it, I think.

The difficulty scaling is INSANE. Apparently the game scales based on the amount of upgrades you have on your ship? Well, it's ridiculous. I still have the starter ship, level 2 hull, with some upgraded guns, and I can't go anywhere. All I do is die. I'm all for a challenge and a close call because that's fun, this though? Scaling is WAY too much.

I'm not sure what kind of review to leave for this game... But it seems a bit underappreciated, I'd say it should be at 65-70% positive, so I'd leave positive. The game isn't great, it's mediocre, and mainly - by gameplay. It's very repetitive and requires barely any skills. Essentially, you just hold RMB, track enemies direction with mouse and keep the LMB down while the direction you're facing corresponds to the direction the enemy ship is moving. And sometimes you press X to try and spoof missiles, and Z for larger enemies to shoot missiles at them (or what button it was, I forgot?...) There's only a few kinds of missions, but mostly it's shooting something down. The other kind is hauling or delivering something. The third is approaching something while being shot at. And the last is cleanup - but once you'd do it you'd never going to do it again, this king of missions is tedious and unrewarding. The balance is pretty weak - you have to grind hard to afford a new ship, any kind of a new ship, even just the next tier to your first junker. But then you rapidly progress to the top tier ship. Any kind of weapon is available on any kind of ship, only limited by the reactor level. And once you upgraded armor on your junker - the very same armor would be reused on a top tier hauler thrice the size. And you can only have one ship. The game design in general leaves much to be desired, improved and re-balanced. Why then I don't rate it lower? Because the game is totally fine for a short breaks. You go in, take some quests, shoot some things, upgrade your ship and exit in like 30 minutes and then it's totally enjoyable. Kinda like a casual mobile game, when all you need is let off some steam, without investing much time and emotions into the game. And sometimes you meet capital ships that take at least some skill to maneuver and shoot down piece by piece, which feels rewarding. And another positive moment about this game is visuals and vibe: it's has this perfectly captured 80-90s sci-fi vibe. Honestly, the style of the game is unparalleled, whatever they paid designers they should've paid more. This is basically what made me buy this game in the first place, despite such low rating. Stations are very pleasant to look at. And overall design and UI/UX is quite great. Also, music is good, if you like the rock and punk genre.

Not a good game. Could have been made better. The combat and flying are not good compared to the shop and other static areas. I dont understand how the game looks so good and makes me want to play but the next i hop onto the ship it ruins everything for me. I would say its as worse as Elite Dangerous. However, this one i will keep, at least i can farm in this game... i guess. GET IT ONLY WITH A CHEAP KEY. Otherwise its a waste of money.

this is solid space sim game, idk what kind of people dislike this game.

Нудная , скучная игра , трата времени в пустую . После No man sky в это ..... играть невозможно .Хорошо хоть по скидке взял данный "Шедевр")
