“I had really good fun with this. It's not Void Bastards 2 and that seems to have annoyed some people, but it's still a fun game when you are actually in a battle. I had no idea what was going on with the story as…”

“I almost quit after the first mission , the gunplay can feel a bit funky and the enemies suddenly never miss sometimes but the characters and game in general are pretty cool. i have really enjoyed my time so far even if…”
“I think they did a great job infusing strategy and gunplay, there are times in this game where you just run through everything instantly and times where you might take 15 minutes to finish a showdown depending on your…”
“I had a ton of fun playing Wild Bastards! -The character design is pretty wicked--each character has their own weapon and special ability that synergizes well against certain kinds of enemies (Except for Ros, i stg).…”

“I like it a lot, but this is one of those rare instances where I think the first game is better than the sequel. If you haven't played void bastards yet, do yourself a favor and start there. This game is fun, but I beat…”

“This game is super duper fun, super underrated. Each character is very different and yet all feel really fun to play. I 100% recommend this game.”

“Void Bastards really was an enjoyable, fun and great experience... This, on the other hand, is not. From the wonky difficulty, to the needlessly punishing mechanics, it is just unpleasant to play.”

“This is not an FPS game and I feel it is deceptively named and marketed. Void Bastards was a rogue like FPS with decent mechanics. This is a visual novel gluing together a board game with the cracks filled in by a bare…”

“After playing other games this just cannot compete with such a slow pace. With the slow fragile characters you basically have to plod along looking for a solution. This gets pretty tedious quickly. Not to mention the…”
“The rogue-like structure of having many different characters to traverse maps and actively swap between during combat has merits, but Wild Bastards is full of annoyances. The characters feel super fragile and can die…”
“Got it on sale so for me it was definitely worth the price. It's a fun fast, pace roguelike with interesting twists to mechanics. The art style is fun and the "Bastards" are all unique and exciting characters to play.…”

“I see a lot of reviewers complaining that this is not Void Bastards. Well, it is definitely not. First and foremost—this is not an immersive-sim roguelite. This is an FPS roguelite (with lite RPG elements). Comparing it to Void Bastards is wrong because, despite having the same…”

The gunpay is fun for almost all characters, specially for the initial and best designed ones, although…”
— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“I enjoyed Void Bastards even though it had some flaws. After about a half hour with Wild Bastards, I feel like the developers decided to focus on the negatives from Void Bastards and build off that. I think the biggest appeal to Void Bastards was that you explore each ship in an…”
