About Star Wars™: Rebel Assault 1 + 2
Star Wars™: Rebel Assault 1 + 2 brings two classic arcade-style space combat games together in one DRM-free package. You step into the cockpit as Rookie One, a Rebel pilot working to undermine the Empire across a series of cinematic missions. The bundle pairs the original Rebel Assault with its sequel, so you get the full arc of Rookie One's story without hunting down separate installers.
The first game puts you through training in the T16 Skyhopper before throwing you into combat against Imperial forces across varied environments, including the frozen plains of Hoth. The sequel shifts the action to the mysterious Dreighton Nebula, where you investigate strange disappearances and uncover a backstory tied to lost spacecraft. Both titles rely on a mix of pre-rendered 3D visuals and fast-paced shooting sequences, which was a defining look for Star Wars games of that era.
If you enjoy classic space shooters or want to revisit the Star Wars saga from a pilot's perspective, this two-part collection is a straightforward pick. The installer is a direct GOG build, so you can install and play without a launcher or account requirement.

- Training missions in the T16 Skyhopper to ease you into the controls.

- Cinematic, pre-rendered 3D presentation typical of mid-1990s Star Wars titles.
- DRM-free installer with no account or launcher required.
Gameplay and Story Overview
Rebel Assault is built around short, focused missions rather than an open galaxy. You move from training flights into combat sorties, and each mission pushes the story forward through dialogue and cutscenes. The controls are simple by modern standards, which makes the game easy to pick up if you have not played a space shooter in a while.
The sequel expands the scope. Rebel Assault II sends you into the Dreighton Nebula to look into a series of disappearances, and the narrative ties those events to lost spacecraft. You still fly and shoot, but the missions vary more, and the story gives you a reason to keep moving through the campaign.
Because both games use pre-rendered visuals, the look is very much of its time. That is part of the appeal if you want to see how Star Wars games handled 3D action before full real-time rendering became standard. The flip side is that the presentation can feel dated compared with newer titles, and the controls may take a few missions to feel natural.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Two full games in a single 726.86 MB download; DRM-free and easy to install; strong Star Wars atmosphere with iconic locations; simple controls that suit short play sessions.
- Cons: Pre-rendered 3D visuals show their age; mission design is linear and arcade-style rather than open; the bundle is a classic re-release, not a remaster, so expect the original presentation.
Who This Bundle Is For
You will get the most from this collection if you enjoy arcade space shooters, want to revisit Star Wars games from the 1990s, or are curious about how the series handled 3D combat before modern engines. It also works well for short sessions, since missions are compact and the story moves quickly. If you prefer open-world games or modern flight simulation depth, the arcade structure here may feel limited.
For players who like sci-fi combat with a similar pick-up-and-play feel, our Star Valor (v2.2.5 & ALL DLC) page is worth a look as a more recent alternative. If you want a different kind of strategy-flavored experience, Listeria Wars offers a very different pace.
