REBEL GALAXY OUTLAW MODS STAR WARS FULL

Holding LT alone doesn’t guarantee you’ll hit your target, but it gets you pretty close – and thanks to the aim-assist on most weapons on normal difficulty, if you time your shots right you can basically treat it kind of like GTA 5’s shooting: left trigger, right trigger, left trigger, right trigger. You simply hold a button (left trigger, if you’re playing on the strongly recommended gamepad) to automatically pilot your ship, homing in on your target to bring it into view so you can do the fun part of blasting it. But Rebel Galaxy Outlaw has a bold and absolutely shameless solution to that, one that’s quickly become one of my guiltiest of gaming pleasures. “If you’ve played a 3D space combat game before you may already be pretty weary of endlessly chasing a directional indicator to try to bring your target into your sights before you can even fire a shot – and, considering they’re trying to do the same to you, that may lead to near-endless circling.

Protagonist Juno Markev (the aunt of your capital ship-commanding character in Rebel Galaxy) is about as gruff and ornery as they come, and her initial motivation of tracking down the brute who killed her husband sets a determined mood that justifies whatever approach you want to take to fund your quest through a universe full of aliens and Han Solo-esque smugglers.

The campaign missions are stretched over an open region of space that’s probably two sizes too large, but there’s more than enough going on to make Rebel Galaxy Outlaw a stellar single-player game.You begin this appropriately small-scale, non-galaxy-threatening story as seemingly every space mercenary/merchant/smuggler/miner does: taking any odd job you can find in the hopes of upgrading your bottom-of-the-line ship to something a little less crappy. It’s a flashy, modern revival of the gameplay style of classics like Wing Commander: Privateer and Freelancer, and it even all but eliminates the most annoying part of dogfighting with a creative and entirely optional piloting assist. 2015’s Rebel Galaxy is an excellent RPG built around the former, and now its prequel spin-off, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, is an action game that specializes in the latter. In spacefaring sci-fi shows and movies – eg Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica – there are two very different kinds of space combat: the slug-fests where battleships duke it out with massive broadsides, and the fast, twitchy dogfighting of fighters buzzing around them.
