When the first trailer for Rebel Galaxy hit, I knew I wanted it. In only a few minutes, it spoke of adventure, "negotiation," and great looking combat with cool explosions! What more could I want? Funny question, exactly that!
When I first saw the game, I began to have expectations that were perhaps unrealistic. Not that they were unfounded in any way, but with knowledge gathered solely from previews and trailers (I did not watch a single demo or video review) I knew it would be one of the few games in the action-RPG genre of space sims, and after all, I loved Starpoint Gemini 2, enough to put in more than sixty hours of playtime before I forced myself to walk away (gotta keep on The List). So naturally, Rebel Galaxy would be right up my alley. The only thing that worried me was that the game insisted that it was best played with a controller, but hey, different strokes, right? After all, it was also released on PS4, so we can't expect our couch-based cousins to bust out a keyboard and mouse just to play a game, right?.
