Rebel Galaxy - Preview @ US Gamer

Kat Bailey of US Gamer published a new preview of Double Damage Games new Space shooter RPG game Rebel Galaxy, and  calls it a pleasant surprise.

What stuck out to me the most when see Rebel Galaxy, though, was how nonchalant Baldree and Schaefer were about their ambitions. Make a full-blown open-world space game using the Torchlight tools? Sure, why not. Sell it for $20? We'll be just fine. I guess I'm not surprised, though. After all, Schaefer is one of the team of three who founded Blizzard North, and he and Baldree were part of the small team that started Runic Games. In many ways, this is old hat for them. 

I half-joking told them that I was glad that they were making their dream game rather than going to the dark side and reaping the benefits of working in mobile. When veteran developers like Schaefer and Baldree apply their expertise to a project as enticing as Rebel Galaxy, we're all winners. And though I've only seen maybe a tenth of what Rebel Galaxy has to offer, I'm quite confident that they'll be able to make good on their ambitions. 

Rebel Galaxy is a pleasant surprise, and along with Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen, I'm sure it will do its part to contribute to the ongoing space combat renaissance. I can't wait to play it.
