![]() As you explore spaceships, scrounging around for supplies to push yourself that little bit further The cycle of gameplay Scrap and spare parts gathered on your sorties are used at your workbench aboard the Ark in order to unlock new-fangled weapons – you start out with a run-of-the-mill pistol but will soon be firing off toxic spikes and flinging Bushwhackers and Clusterflacks at your foes – as well as beefing up your armour and adding a variety of boons and skills which make the whole thing just a little bit easier to survive. You’ll die repeatedly as you attempt to move further and further through the game – with each death permanent for that particular prisoner – then restart afresh, a task made easier by a handful of persistent elements that see you grow stronger with each unsuccessful run. The core gameplay loops here will be familiar to any roguelike fan Townsmen – A Kingdom Rebuilt Making these desperate runs in search of components requires you to keep your supplies of food and fuel topped up as well as grabbing spare parts with which to upgrade your weapons and armour in order to successfully take on the various creatures you’ll come face to face with as you navigate the corridors of derelict hospital craft, tax boats, psych ships and frigates. In Void Bastards players assume the role of an endless procession of dangerous prisoners aboard the monolithic Void ArkĪn enormous space jail whose inhabitants are now being dethawed one by one from their cryogenic slumber by the ship’s onboard A.I – B.A.C.S – in order to venture into the infamous Sargasso Nebula, ransacking enemy-infested vessels in search of vital components required to get the malfunctioning Ark up and running again. Don’t worry though, as any crafting progress you’ve made is retained from one to another. When one dies, another steps forward to carry on the fight. Void Bastards features a 12-15 hour campaign that you can complete with an endless supply of prisoners, each with their own unique traits. All the while you must keep scavenging for the food, fuel, and other resources that keep you alive. Flee from void whales and pirates, and politely avoid the hungry hermits. Navigate your tiny escape pod through the vast nebula. Use your hard won supplies to improvise tools and weapons, from the distracting robo-kitty to the horribly unstable clusterflak. Or will you fight your way into the security module to disable the ship’s defenses? Choose carefully when to fight, when to run and when just to be a bastard.
