Rebel Galaxy, the Torchlight veterans Travis Baldree and Erich Schaefer’s first game with their new two-man studio Double Damage Games, focuses on something a little different. We’ll certainly get our fill of wonder at the expansiveness of space and satisfaction from a unique combat system, one which actually borrows some tricks from Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag’s naval combat, but there’s a different association that comes to mind first when thinking of the space adventure game: Mos Eisley and its cantina filled with bounty hunters, merchants, and scruffy-looking nerf herders.
We recently got a chance to sit down with Double Damage Games Co-Founder Erich Schaefer, and he talked a little about what we can expect from being an outlaw in the cosmos of Rebel Galaxy.
