Created by Double Damage Games founded by Travis Baldree (Blizzard North / Diablo series / Torchlight) and Erich Schaefer (Fate / Torchlight).

We wanted to build a swashbuckling space game, one filled with weird aliens, backwater bartenders, lawless pirates, and epic space battles. A game with a galaxy to explore, characters to befriend or enrage, and the random element that?s been in so many of the games we?ve worked on.
Rebel Galaxy isn?t set in a shiny, modern future ? it?s a greasy, rusty place on the edge of the known universe, where the ships are barely holding it together, and the people are, too. It?s a sandbox galaxy where you play the character you want. Are you a devious mercenary, collecting bounties? A crafty trader who hires protection wherever she goes? A pirate, preying on convoys? A roguish do-gooder? Maybe a little of each? You?ll fight, trade, negotiate, escape, explore, scavenge, mine, ingratiate, and intimidate...With Rebel Galaxy we?re flipping that around ? YOU fly the big, weapon-bristling ships here, with huge quantities of firepower, turrets, volleys of rockets, and massive broadside blasts. It?s closer to naval combat, if naval combat had lasers, space fighters, shields, and warp-drives and was about ten times faster.


Sounds awesome!

I like the idea, but not impressed with the gameplay at all in that video. Will keep an eye on this though.

Sounds like Sid Meyer's Pirates! in space, which would be awesome.

So this is a open world, single player dungeon (space) crawler? Looks really fun, I just unsure what genre it is.

The graphics look a bit dated but if the gameplay is good, who cares? This has plenty of potential and I hope they can pull it off.

Just picked this up, pretty fun so far. Using M/KB ATM, it is not bad, but may play better with a controller.

I bought it on Itzena's suggestion in the Steam sales thread.

Haven't had time to play it yet, but steam reviews are strongly positive at this point in time.

Steam reviews suggest a Freelancer of sorts. Any time someone mentions Freelancer I'm sold.

I bought DLing now.

A bit upset no multiplayer but looks fun enough for the price.

Looks like good times, although I'll probably wait for the Xbone release.

Wellp, this is certainly sandbox. Third mission destroyed me like nobody's business.

Pride got in the way, chose combat over paying out. Valhalla comes.

Is that where you go to destroy the crates and then dudes show up?

Blow up the fighters first, use junk to block the shots from the big ship, then focus fire the big ship up close with your broadsides.

No, 'Dead John'. I dunno maybe not technically third mission if you count the ferry to find the second station?
