 Hello, this is Buona from Buona.TV, and today I want to do a quick review of Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is available for $29.99 US on the Epic Game Store. If you decide to purchase the game based on my video, I ask that you please use my creator code Buona when you check out. So what is Rebel Galaxy Outlaw? Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is a prequel to Rebel Galaxy, which was released in 2015. Rebel Galaxy was met with positive feedback due to its old school feel, but was met with some criticism because of its 2D naval combat. Rebel Galaxy Outlaw takes what was great about Rebel Galaxy and makes it even better with full 6 degree of freedom combat. It's a very, very old school throwback to games like Wing Commander and Freelancer. So if those games, and even modern games like X4, Star Citizen, and Elite Dangerous are your cup of tea, then you should seriously consider trying Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. Now whenever you see a new space sim, the first question that usually comes up, especially in my streams are, does it support HOTAS? Does it support HOTAS? HOTAS is hands on throttle and stick, so you'll see a left throttle for your thrusters and you'll also see a right joystick that a lot of people use in games like Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen, etc. You'll be happy to hear that Rebel Galaxy Outlaw does support keyboard amounts, controller, and HOTAS. The developers have been very, very vocal about using controller though. They believed that the game was designed with this controller set in mind, and I agree. After using keyboard and mouse for about a full week, I went over to controller and I was convinced. I was like, yeah, this game feels a lot better with controller. The controls are basic enough for the game to keep your interest. It offers some advanced maneuvering techniques such as inertial dampening where you can turn off inertial dampeners and begin to coast as you're moving around so you can actually move as you're turning. And Elite Dangerous, we got something called Flight Assist off and I think Star Citizen has some other stuff like that. But I was kind of disappointed with the lack of lateral thrusters. So if you want to do like true strafing, you won't be able to do that in Rebel Galaxy Outlaw without some really, really fancy boost and then turn and then turn off inertial dampener technique type of deals. So they're basic enough and they're fun enough to keep the game going, but I kind of wish there was some more advanced options for the Space Sim inside of my body. Like Space Sims of old, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw gives you a ton of freedom. It does have a pretty compelling story of the main character Juno, which you were introduced to in Rebel Galaxy. And it gives you the freedom to go about and do whatever you wish without having to stick to that story. So you have the option of just going out, shooting people, shooting space rocks, making money, getting the bigger ship, typical things that you would do in these old school Space Sims. And the missions are, they're pretty basic, but they fit the typical Space Sim world. You got things like delivery missions, assassinations, discovery patrols and rescue to assist you in making that credit so you can get that bigger and better ship. Now speaking of ships, the game does have nine ships available, which doesn't sound like a lot on the surface, but for $29.99 and the amount of freedom that you have and the amount of replayability that the game has, I think that's more than enough to keep you going. One feature of the game that's going to be a surprise to you, which was a surprise to me is the ship customization tool or the ship paint tool. Of the 40 plus hours I've spent in this game so far, I'm convinced that was in the ship paint tool. It's essentially a mini Photoshop within the game that allows you to paint, draw and apply stencils to the ships that you purchase. And it has layering, it has masks, it has a bunch of tools that you'd see in Photoshop. You can lose hours, days, weeks simply by customizing and painting your ships. I absolutely love games like this that give you tools to go kind of outside of the world. I guess you can call it the world, the world of space or whatever, the missions and stuff and just go and get lost in painting and customization. One of the most memorable parts of Rebel Galaxy was the music and I'm very happy to report that Rebel Galaxy Outlaw has taken that beautiful thing from Rebel Galaxy and brought it over to this game. And the developers have taken it a step further for content creators such as myself. They have an option in the game to allow streamer friendly music. So they're only going to play music that they have rights for. And if you get copyright claims on sites like YouTube or Twitch or wherever, they have some verbiage that you can put in the counterclaim in the in the response to get it removed and it's very, very smart. But they have many, many, many different types of genres of music to play in their in-game radio and over 400 tracks. It's insane how much music is in this game and there's so much variety. My favorite station so far is the Jazz station because my favorite anime of all time is Cowboy Bebop. So I'm going to be playing Cowboy Bebop type music, jazz, swing all the time while I'm shooting space stuff, pretending that I'm Spike, pretending that I'm in the Bebop trying to eat noodles and trying to make ends meet with a stupid dog named Iron and a crazy girl named Edward, Edward, etc. The music is good, full stop. So that's Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, a very, very fun space sim shooter. Throwback to Freelancer, throwback to Wing Commander. If you love those games, even the UI and the old school feel and old school graphics will just bring back those feelings of nostalgia. It's got a tight control set, easy to get into. You can lose hours and emissions and the grinding, the old school grinding of the sci-fi and the space sim. You can lose a lot of hours in the ship paint tool as well, painting your ships, customizing your ships and also just progressing through the ships that are available, earning credits. That whole formula is available here for $29.99 on the Epic Game Store. Go check out Rebel Galaxy Outlaw.
