Description

In the distant future, the X universe faces a period of profound and irrevocable change. While the universe stumbles towards an uncertain future, countless adventures await as new enemies rise in search of power. Enter a young adventurer and his unlikely female ally traveling in an old, battered ship with a glorious past - two people alone against the galaxy, playing a key part in the events to come. The fate of the universe rests in the hands of the player...

X Rebirth represents a spectacular new beginning for the X series, offering loyal fans and newcomers alike a vast, vivid and extremely detailed universe to explore throughout the game. Varied gameplay elements such as action-packed space combat, detailed trading mechanics and high-speed space exploration with fast travel allow players to experience a truly unique space saga that will keep them hooked for dozens of hours. X Rebirth features a whole new user experience - it is easier than ever to start with, and remains as deep as fans expect it.

FEATURES


TRADE! A fully simulated economy that means your actions really do matter. Travel the space highways to find profit in gigantic space cities, swarming with ships and drones.

++ Every ship you see has a task. Stop a freighter from reaching its destination and its cargo will be stopped too, causing prices to rise. ++

FIGHT! From small scale skirmishes to epic fleet encounters, battles in the X Universe know no limits. Choose to fight for the military, work for the police or be a lawless pirate, or if you prefer just fight when you need to defend yourself - it's up to you.

++ Take the action right into massive structures. Target turrets and shield generators to weaken your enemy, damage engines and jump drives to prevent their ships from escaping, or stop their factories producing to cripple their economy. ++

BUILD! Create your own empire! From trading stations to large factories, farms to hightech military complexes, everything can belong to you. Build for trade and profit or to strengthen your military presence and dominate your enemies.

++ Extend and upgrade your stations to make them operate more efficiently, with every element visible in glorious animated detail. Harvest your own resources to keep your empire running smoothly. ++

THINK! A rich, detailed history and a deep complex plot await you, but you are free to decide when and where to take part. Explore the universe at your own pace - choose your own path and create your own destiny.

++ Get up-close and personal with aliens and humans alike. Land on stations, meet people, then accept missions from them or hire them as crew members for your ships. ++

TRADE, FIGHT, BUILD, THINK... in the X Universe - the biggest sandbox this side of the galaxy.

X-Rebirth is the original redemption story of a game developer who overpromised and under-delivered. But then instead of abandoning the game and moving on, they spent a considerable amount of time releasing both free

Hidden Gem I played X1, X3 & X4.(I missed # 2) iMO, This is Easily the best of them all. The other three(x1 x3 x4) are Good SANDBOX games, but X-Rebirth is more of a User-Friendly Adventure Story Sandbox game-meaning it

It's a burning pile of garbage. Maybe the devs tried to recapture the experience of playing X: Beyond the frontier, thier first game in the series. Just like in X:BtF, you control a single ship, but while in XBtF you

On launch, this game got a lot of negative sentiment from the original die-hard X fans. In effect, X Rebirth was the reimagining of the franchise trying to shed it's original hardcore ways and difficult menus of the

The combination of a more story driven play through and access to fly only one ship made this the perfect entry into the X series of games. The X games represent a huge learning curve for the newcomer. I had made

I do not recommend this game, because most of the titles in the "X-Series" are better. Be advised though, that u can mod this game, until it is OK. It has some nice mechanics, which actually improved on X games. It also
