Free Space Sim First Look: The Original Rebel Galaxy Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

As a precursor to the impending launch of Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, the original Rebel Galaxy is now available for free from the Epic Games Store. This is one we overlooked when it first came out in 2015, but there's a lot to like here. The focus is on capship combat with a good mix of Privateer-style elements throughout. One of its two main developers, Travis Baldree, has been a longtime Wingnut, so there's some positive influence there that results in a very solid space sim. The upcoming Outlaw prequel improves on a number of aspects, including traditional action-packed 3D fighter combat, but this is a great opportunity to get a taste of what to expect! The IGN review below gives a nice recap:

Rebel Galaxy is a game of action-packed combat, exploration, discovery, trade, and “negotiation” with the outlandish denizens at the edge of the known universe.

You’ll battle pirates, explore anomalies, befriend aliens, scavenge battle wreckage, mine asteroids, and discover artifacts. Choose your path as a roguish do-gooder, crafty space-trader or power-hungry privateer in this swashbuckling space adventure.
