If you fancy tickling your PlayStation 1 era nostalgia, then good news! A brand new demo for G-Rebels, a G-Police spiritual successor of sorts is available to check out right now on Steam! Never heard of G-Rebels? Here’s a recent trailer.
This is being developed by Reakktor Studios, based out of Germany, and the team have been hard at work reacting to community feedback from their previous outing. The focus here is on performance and control improvements, in addition to enhancements to the games virtual megacity environments.
I’ve just taken the demo for a spin myself, and I’m pretty impressed! It’s gorgeous visually, and they’ve really nailed the heft and weight of flying a massive gunship. It’s a particularly addictive joy, just manoeuvring the Skyblade gunship between massive skyscrapers and oncoming airborne traffic. Definitely one to watch! (Members can check out an exclusive first look video on YouTube Channel)
The only downside is this is yet another Steam Early Access release, which is coming ‘soon’ – though no specific date yet. Still, the free demo is definitely something you should check out if you’re interested!

G-Rebels Gameplay Features:
G-Rebels: An action-packed combat flight sim in a dystopian open world full of intrigue, free exploration, dangerous missions and breath-taking flight manoeuvres.
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.
- Fight against other gliders or hack into their control unit to take control of enemy skyblades.
- Take part in the battle for power: conquer outposts, skyports, power plants, etc. to help your faction gain influence and control.
- Technical and visual highlights: Changing weather conditions with volumetric clouds, dynamic sun and moon position with realistic day-night changes, complete world streaming (no loading screens), real-time simulation of thousands of flying objects in the world, etc.
