Oct. 2024

Void Bastards has a unique art style, an addictive gameplay loop and is balanced enough to make you want to play it more than once. The game's main quest is well introduced, but it gets a little tedious. But I imagine that the main focus of the game is on surviving and using resources in the best possible way. In this regard, the game is simply surprising, with several immersive simulator mechanics. Some ships will have very interesting modifiers that make you look for a way to overcome them effectively. Some of my most intense episodes were a stealth mission mixed with a giant shootout in a tight room. Choosing a good set of equipment is essential to progress in the game. The sense of freedom to complete missions is very present and automatically trains you to adapt. The game's upgrades are very well implemented and balanced so that you don't get too strong too soon. Unlike many games of the genre, the grind in this game is not tedious or forced, I found that my interest in exploring the more difficult ships and their challenges was greater than gathering materials. In this case, they were another positive consequence of having explored well during the mission. The variety of enemies is good and the game's art style makes you curious about what the next ones will be like. I strongly recommend that anyone who plays FPS shooters play on hard. Even though there is more than one strategy to approach combat situations, with good upgrades on my favorite weapons I could easily defeat enemies stronger than me. The game has great exploration, a wide variety of scenarios, a very well thought out art style and sound design. It's definitely worth it if you're interested in rogue likes.

Only worth it on sale. A clean, crisp roguelike experience. Definitely a game that belongs in anyone's library for its standout presentation and performance.

This game was so much better than I could have hoped. I ended up putting almost 100 hours into it and I still don't feel like I'm done with it at all. It calls to me every time I scroll by it in my games library. The only reason I haven't played even more is I don't want to burn out on it. It's the type of game you revisit every year or so to replay the campaign on hard, and that is my intention. I could barely stop myself from re-installing it again early, so I settled on leaving a review instead. Basically you're on a prison ship stranded in a graveyard of derelict ships. You have a shuttle capable of visiting these derelict ships in sort of an FTL-style beacon to beacon travelling method. These derelict ships still have their crews aboard who have been corrupted by some kind of space madness and are hostile to you. If after looking at the scan of the ship, you decide the risks of boarding are worth the items you might find on board (fuel, food, special parts, building materiels, ammo, money, even augmentations to your genetic structure to give you different abilities), you go into FPS mode and raid the ship. The core of the gameplay is finding what you need on the ship, while fighting/avoiding the many dangers awaiting you. It's very System Shock-esque. Then using what you've obtained, you can craft needed parts, new weapons, armours, devices.. all sorts of things to get you ready for further challenges when you decide to go for the really valuable stuff deeper in. Anyway, that's just a summary of what you actually do in the game. It really doesn't do justice to just how intense it is boarding ships and how interesting it is trying out new weapons and devices and how much tension there is in the game just keeping your character alive. Highly HIGHLY recommended.

The unique art design breathes fresh life into the genre, offering a memorable and immersive experience. Despite its familiar mechanics, the game's execution and atmosphere set it apart, making it a standout title in its own right.

I've enjoyed it. Though it can be aggravating to die a lot but that's the point of it being a rogue-like. The gaming loop is basically just looting storage containers while avoiding or dealing with enemies and environmental hazards. There's not a ton of variety here sadly. Even at the five hour mark, all the ships pretty much look the same. You're fighting the same enemies as well. It's a fantastic game but for $30? Nah, if this is on sale for $20 or less, get it.
