Parent Pro-Tip

Rebel Galaxy is a single-player space adventure with a focus on strategy and exploration. It's a good choice for teens who enjoy open-ended gameplay and combat without the pressures of online multiplayer or microtransactions. Encourage your child to discuss their strategies for trading and combat, and to explore the randomly generated universe at their own pace.

About this game

The most reasonable rule of trade: if the goods are from far away – they should cost more. If you apply it to the space trade between the galaxies, you will get Rebel Galaxy, a space trading and combat simulation, created by a small studio of two people.
