Open World · Sandbox · Sci-Fi · Story Rich
Space combat in a Wild West setting, that's what defines it. Rebel Galaxy puts you in the pilot's seat of a star destroyer, trading broadsides with pirates and corporate goons. The soundtrack — a relentless stream of blues rock — complements the loop of scavenging for loot, upgrading your ship, and taking on contracts. The game's charm comes from its simplicity and the feeling of being a spacefaring outlaw.
