G-Rebels PC (Early Access)

As part of an elite unit, it is your job to ensure law and order. A secret mission calls everything into question: are you on the right side or part of a conspiracy? G-Rebels: An action-packed combat flight sim in a dystopian open world full of intrigue, free exploration, dangerous missions and breathtaking flight maneuvers. In the year 2684, Earth was almost completely flooded by catastrophic events. The survivors created floating megacities, which compete for the remaining natural resources. As part of an elite unit of the most powerful city-state, it is your job to ensure law and order in the metropolis and the colonies.

With your ultra-modern glider, you secure transport routes and fight organized crime. But the course of a secret mission suddenly calls everything into question: are you fighting for the right side or are you part of a dark conspiracy? Discover vibrant metropolises, outposts, research facilities, factories, etc. in a freely explorable world of more than 12,000 square kilometers. Follow the main storyline or discover the world on your own and earn your money in mining, as a bounty hunter, racing pilot, bodyguard, mercenary, pirate or as a hunter for lost artifacts. Invest the credits you earn in upgrading your Skyblade: Engine, weapon or shield upgrades?

AI-controlled drones, multi-warhead missiles or stealth devices? Plan your Skyblade’s equipment before you go into battle. The handling feels very responsive for an arcade-style flight sim, with excellent momentum that really conveys the aircraft’s weight as it moves in G-Rebels. The only real issue is the combat. The guns feel satisfying at times, but missing a shot and accidentally hitting an unintended target immediately starts another fight. The upgrade system is also quite seamless, leaving it entirely up to the player where to invest their money.

Overall, it’s easy to see this becoming a game that many players sink a lot of time into. The VR mode is the main draw for many players, but the implementation is still pretty rough. VR works well at a basic level, but it’s missing several essential features, such as the ability to recenter the view. The menus are also unusable in VR, at least with a mouse, keyboard, or controllers. G-Rebels has the potential to be a fantastic game once more content is added and the VR implementation gains some basic functionality.
