What players say
You're gonna grind to get the ships you want. And it can feel a bit repetitive after a while. But the game makes up for it by being extremely replayable. I've played it on console mostly, but must say I prefer the pc version more.

I have 100% the game and it was a really fun time to me, enjoyed it very much. Very big shoutout to the risky but unique choice of music for a space game like Rebel Galaxy, I probably loved that the most and wish more space themed games did that.
This is a space game that doesn't take itself so seriously. It's mindless fun most the time just wish there was fewer ambush style space battle right at the station im heading too. I love this game though it all comes down to a progression loop. Want to mine? go mine, sell at a station and upgrade. collect a mission (trade, military, hired gun, piracy) complete it and repeat. the story is pretty simple if I'm...
