I’d have liked to have them being sucked out of windows into space, but I guess the glass is meant to keep the pressure of the ship and in-theory lets it withstand space debris.Įverything else really works, including turrets, weapon upgrades, and constantly being sworn at by child-like aliens that you want to punt up and down the corridors. Even then, you have to unload half of your ammo just to kill one, and that’s tricky enough when you don’t pay attention to what you are picking up. The Screws are just the worst thing to start out with on any ship early on, since they are more or less unkillable for a while. Putting aside my testing of something that was never going to work, there is one enemy that can get right in the bin alongside Davros and his upside-down bin army. Void Bastards isn’t a game you’ll want to play as a stealth, no guns, just run kind of game Believe me, I’ve tried and it doesn’t work. It turns out that being a Timelord, the last of your race, and constantly being chased by space nazis, apparently gives you some natural luck of not dying too often in over 1000 years. Nevertheless, I thought that as a way to make the game a little more interesting I’d play it like Doctor Who, it is in space, I have a run button, and there are plenty of corridors to run in. Though it does kill the mood once it all goes quiet and you can take a minute.ĭeath is a thing of common occurrence, that’s the point of a rogue-lite or rogue-like. In some form, given the outside is often the ruins of a massive space war or something just as destructive, it makes sense to be desolate ships of destruction that we’re salvaging in an effort for escape. Instead, they feel rather empty at times. The problem is that the ships never have this strong feeling. Īll of this chaotic discombobulation of dark sci-fi from System Shock and Bioshock, combined with the fast-paced shooting of classic Doom, and comedic tones from the distant voices of aliens calling you names builds atmosphere. All with a story told to you by the wonderful voice of Kevan Brighting, the comedic voice of The Stanley Parable. The map leading to your next dungeon, or spaceship, as it were, is done in that FTL -style star map. You’ll be on the hunt for an ID card to kick start the FTL-drive, which brings me to another comparison with a rogue-like. As a rogue-lite, you play as a rotating cast of prisoners in a space-age prison. You play as Dave, Bernard, Clive, Patty, Betty, and Sybil. However, after a while, it does become a little dry once you’ve seen the same dark corridor outside the airlocks several times over. It is a little disorienting to the senses at times.

This is balanced, of course, with comedically unfamiliar cockney accents swearing at you while bright bullets fly towards you. In some way the clear thick lines, dark colors, and desolate spaceship pull out how dark the game is. It has a truly defining, dark sci-fi aesthetic that is polarizing to the eye. Void Bastards is a rogue-lite first-person-shooter, feeling similar to High Hell and Strafe, with a clear finger pointing back to first-person sci-fi shooters.Ī beautifully messy comic book style is one of the most appealing things you’ll first notice, as it’s not often adopted by many games.

Though, the last time I spoke about Australians and swearing, I admitted the thousands of deaths in H.M.P Slade Let’s not do that again. This time it is Void Bastards, something I’ll have fun talking about on video with YouTube’s mess about swearing.

The last time it was Skyrim for the Switch and Skyrim for the Xbox One with lots of mods ruining the game. This will be the second time I’m reviewing something that Taylor already has.
