Rebel Engine
Critic Reviews for Rebel Engine
Rebel Engine might have some issues with game design and technical aspects, but it's still a fun and stylish character action game that's worth the time and effort to master.
Boasting an impressive commitment to a versatile sandbox of hack-and-slash and retro FPS action, Rebel Engine has the fundamentals for a fast-paced and exhilarating time with vibrant visuals. It breaks at the seams thanks to cumbersome controls, a flat story and lack of punch in feedback to the action, but stylish hunting thrill seekers should find something worth blasting through.
Rebel Engine stands out because it dares to be different. It’s not a pick-up-and-play kind of title; you do have to learn it, wrestle with it, and occasionally retry encounters thanks to checkpoint placements that could be kinder. But once the systems settle into your hands, it becomes a wonderfully dynamic action game with an enormous amount of freedom in how you fight. With varied enemies, a generous arsenal, excellent accessibility, and a combat loop that encourages creativity, this is absolutely a hidden gem on Steam. If you love indie titles that push boundaries and reward mastery, Rebel Engine deserves a spot in your library.
