Void Bastards is First-Person Shooter/Strategy/Roguelike hybrid with Cel Shaded graphics, developed by Blue Manchu and released on PC through Steam and the Xbox One on 28th May, 2019, followed by ports for the Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4. In it, you control one of the nameless inmates of a space prison named Void Ark, which got stuck in space after its FTL drive broke down and several of its core components were stolen by Space Pirates, leaving the wardens with no options but to free an inmate at a time and send them out to scavenge the nearby derelict ships for parts.Unlike most other shooter-roguelikes, it takes inspiration not from the fast-paced games like Doom and Quake, but from the slow, deliberate immersive sim gameplay of Bioshock and its spiritual predecessor, System Shock 2. That's no surprise, though, since its lead developer, Jonathan Chey, had co-founded Irrational Games and worked on both games.See Deep Sky Derelicts for a 2018 game with a similar premise and art style, but with a party, card-based, Turn-Based Combat.

Early Game Hell

comment
Early Game Hell: The game is at its hardest when you're just starting out, as you have almost no fuel or food and barely enough ammo to get the job done, even against the easy early game enemies. Once you've unlocked a few decent weapons and scrounged a decent amount of ammo, food, and fuel, things get easier and you have more leeway in choosing whether or not to raid particular ships.

Unstable Equilibrium: If your Client dies, you don't get their ammo, food, fuel, or other exploration items back, and if they were loaded up with useful traits, too bad for you. Have fun fighting your way back up to spec with the bare minimum of all of those, and hope your care package gave you ammo for SOMETHING you're good at using!

Obstructive Bureaucrat
 Void Bastards (Video Game) / int_1f799027
comment
Obstructive Bureaucrat: The whole plot revolves around this. The Void Ark's FTL engine is perfectly fine and undamaged, and there's no physical reason it can't just warp jump to its destination. However, due to bureaucracy, B.A.C.S. is programmed to only allow citizens to activate the FTL, and as a convicted prisoner your citizenship was previously revoked. The entire game is spent scavenging the Nebula for various parts needed to forge a citizenship card so you can activate the FTL. B.A.C.S. himself has to contend with an even more Obstructive Bureaucrat in the form of the citizenship registration computer, who tries to blow up the ship after you try to expedite your citizenship registration with an invalid procedure. The only time this plays to your advantage is when the unmodified self-destruct time turns out to be six months.

Crapsack World
 Void Bastards (Video Game) / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: WCG Prisoners are arrested and given (seemingly) permanent prison sentences for offenses as benign as "Smells bad next to the wrong person." XON ambulances allow you to buy and sell vital organs from vending machines. Body parts are commonly found in personal luggage and storage lockers. These ships also include stores with gacha-like machines full of everything from spare organs to entire people. The only food in the entire nebula is cheese and onion sandwiches and the rare tea biscuit. In the Lux ships, the restaurant room even includes the menu: each of the dishes have refined cuisine sounding names, but they're just cheese and onion sandwiches described with fancy synonyms. Players may also receive a surfeit of food by blowing up void whales. Mmm! Prison ships include "Mandatory Gene Therapy" and various kinds of torture. Krell cargo vessels have shifts lasting years. Otori Corp enforces total obedience by spying on their employees through their robot pets. And once you reach Depth 5? The Otori ships start including brainwashing rooms where a chair festooned with restraints sits in front of a screen flashing images that A) force the person to start seeing their Kittybot as a normal cat and B) say that they should "Tell it about your day" (a phrase which is immediately replaced by "Tell it your secrets.") CNT vessels have rooms containing office cubicles. These rooms will always have a gunpoint, a securitybot-summoning camera, or both. The kicker? The way to keep out of their line of sight is to crouch below the cubicle walls (re: stay seated in your cubicle).

In Medias Res: You start the tutorial in the middle of a sanitation closet with an empty pistol and are told you need something called a Line Printer. Shortly after you find it, you're unceremoniously gunned down by space pirates. The next prisoner you control is then helpfully briefed on why they needed the Line Printer in the first place, setting up the main plot loop of the story.

Space Pirates: Some of the derelict ships will already have these doing their own scavenging when you arrive. Needless to say, they won't be happy to see you, and they give a much better fight than most of the usual ship denizens. Moreover, their ships will be tethered to the derelict, preventing your escape unless you can untether them… or, loot a torpedo beforehand, and blow their ship up with it.

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!
 Void Bastards (Video Game) / int_33fa230b
comment
Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: The initial briefing suggests a relatively straightforward problem: you need to acquire a couple of items to make the ID card needed to restart the ship's FTL drive and go home. However, once you have the ID card, B.A.C.S. reveals another ship system that needs to be replaced before the FTL drive can be restarted, requiring a new round of item acquisitions. And so on.

Blessed with Suck
 Void Bastards (Video Game) / int_3c3f28a5
comment
Blessed with Suck: All modifiers are classified as either beneficial (displayed in green) or detrimental (displayed in red). Players may not agree with those classifications, though. For example, the Out to Lunch modifier makes it so that there are no Citizens on the ship to start but there are lots of Rifts (spawners), so while the ship is initially safer, it will be swarming with enemies after a few minutes. On the other end is Lockdown, which causes all doors to start off locked. Locked doors take a few seconds to unlock, but cannot be opened by enemies; while the modifier can be annoying, it makes it less likely that enemies will wander into you from an unexpected angle.

Bittersweet Ending
 Void Bastards (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: Leaning heavily towards bitter. The Void Ark is able to safely leave the nebula, but your current playable Client has their sentence extended indefinitely due to the crimes they committed in the process of activating the FTL drive, with only a pitifully small number of Merits added to their account. Not to mention any other Clients you may have played as are already dead. The only "sweet" part is that the remaining prisoners survive and may eventually be released. Of course, this game being what it is, it's all played for laughs. Additionally, according to the Space Pirates, if B.A.C.S. makes it back to WCG space and reports what happened to the Void Ark, the WCG should arrive in force to the nebula and blow the Space Pirates to kingdom come, finally putting an end to them stranding so many ships there.

 Void Bastards (Video Game) / int_4252fdf6
comment
Hyperactive Metabolism: Downplayed. Eating food restores a chunk of your health, but it also makes an in-game timer to increase by a day whether you're moving or resting, so it's more like natural regeneration in this case. Still, it allows you to heal all and any wounds, provided you have enough food (and keep an eye out for anything nasty on the map that may head toward you as you rest).

Homing Projectile: Not in the primary, FPS portion of the gameplay, but the text for blowing up a pirate vessel with a torpedo always makes sure to mention it homing-in on and tracking the target. This (combined with the fact that the torpedoes are heavily implied to have nuclear warheads) is used to explain the gameplay conceit of a single torpedo always being enough to automatically destroy an enemy in space.

Limited Loadout: While you have a lot of toys to place with, the game balances it by limiting your character to three slots: normal weapon, explosive one, and a gadget. The Gun Nut perk lets you carry a random 4th weapon, which can make a huge difference.

Batman Can Breathe in Space: Citizens can apparently survive just fine on derelict vessels with no atmosphere. However, given that fires can also burn just fine on the same vessels, it's entirely possible the vessels have perfectly functional life support, and B.A.C.S. just won't let you take off your helmet even if you run out of oxygen and start suffocating (which is entirely in keeping with his established behavior). Of course, said Citizens are all insane mutant zombies, so maybe you shouldn't breathe it...

 Void Bastards (Video Game) / int_61ff365d
comment
Deflector Shields: Zec enemies are protected with one from the front, which will soak up plenty of physical damage, and render the electrical zapper outright useless. However, getting an explosive behind them tends to immediately take them out, and the Rad Spiker just ignores the shield completely. The Bouncer gadget generates a Zec shield in front of the player, except it doubles as an Attack Reflector for projectiles in addition to preventing damage.

Tactical Door Use: Doors are a strategic resource on derelicts. Closed doors break line of sight at the very least, and can be locked to prevent regular enemies from passing through. Useful for making impromptu jails for dangerous foes or sealing a room with a Nebula Rift inside. Just be warned that locking and unlocking takes a few seconds and you can wind up on the same side as the monster, and that Secbots/Warbots will just open them right back up and come on through.

Interface Screw: Several. The toxic garbage will make environment colors change rapidly, may add a wavy effect to the screen, and drastically reduces your weapon accuracy. Toxic Patients inflict the same effect with their explosive spit. Caffeine makes the camera rapidly shake during its effect. It also speeds up the music. The Colorblind trait makes the entire world grayscale. The Overly Familiar trait replaces all enemy names with personal names like "Horace" and "Doug". The Tunnel Vision trait removes the player's peripheral vision.

Teleport Gun: There's the Rifter, whose first shot instantly sucks the enemy into hyperspace. Then, the weapon continues to hold it there indefinitely, until its next shot deposits it back onto the ship. The usual tactic is to scoop up the tough enemies with it, and then place them into inaccessible vents, locked doors and the like, which they'll never escape from. Or into a launcher bay so they can be shot out into space.

Boxed Crook: Well, for a given definition of "crook" anyways, but "Clients" are offered parole for helping fix the Void Ark. The game makes it clear that your AI warden thinks you're a scumbag, referring to enemies as "Citizens" (implying it thinks more highly of these mutant crazies than it does you), keeps you stuck in a spacesuit with 11.5 minutes of air in ships that have a totally survivable atmosphere, and even reneges on its end of the bargain because it only has to honour agreements with actual people.

 Void Bastards (Video Game) / int_7b7965dd
comment
Boss in Mook Clothing: Screws are powerful Damage Sponge enemies that will never give up on a chase should you be unlucky enough to awaken them, and come armed with a difficult-to-dodge Spread Shot. Even the tooltips explicitly discourage you from trying to engage them. The Elite Mook version, the Trusty Screw, is even worse, with 3 times as much health and more powerful attacks. Pirates are by far the strongest enemies in the game, having the best equipment and weapons, incredibly high health second only to that of Screws, and a tendency to swarm in large numbers once one of them detects you. Want revenge for what they did to you in the intro? Good luck with that, because even with the best equipment you can get, they can easily shred you to pieces. Tellingly, there's actually an achievement for beating just one of them, and it's currently one of the rarest achievements in the game. Secbots are powerful robots that are switched on if you're spotted by a ship's security system. They do a lot of damage, actively hunt you down, and unlike any other enemy can unlock doors. The Elite Mook variant, the Warbot, has twice as much health as well as active Regenerating Health.

Space Whale: Void Whales are one of the greatest threats you can encounter, as they can straight-up eat the entire ship you are on (unless you blow them to hell with a torpedo). There are also Junk Squids, equally enormous Space Squids that are harmless to your small shuttle, but will eat every large vessel they come across, which can be a pain in the ass if you needed something from one of the ships in their path of destruction.

Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness
 Void Bastards (Video Game) / int_8f233b1b
comment
Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness: Each Citizen or robot tends to have at least one weapon/gadget/utility item that works as a hard counter (example — the Riveter will mow through an entire group of Patients in a decent burst, no trouble), or at least sets them up to die from one of your other items (example — Spooks can't teleport out of your line of fire if they're too busy being stunned). The problem is that you only get to take one item from each category with you on any given ship, and enemies don't always mix together in ways that let you easily counter them all.

Mighty Glacier: Screws. They're slow, but easily detected by their loud STOMP STOMP STOMP footsteps and deep voices. They have many times the health of most opponentsnote Screws have 1000 health, and their Elite Mook counterpart, the Trusty Screw, has a whooping 3000 health, while even tougher regular enemies like Toxic Patients or Veteran Janitors max out at 100-150 health, and the basic pistol does 10 damage (taking 3-4 fully upgraded bushwhackers to kill; most other enemies won't even survive 1) and attack by launching ricocheting shards at you. They can very easily ruin your day.

Difficult, but Awesome: The Clusterflack is challenging to use at its base design due to an extremely long fuze (something like 5-10 seconds once it's come to rest) but the absolute clusterflack of explosives it releases will make short work of most Citizens. Best used by hurling it into a mob of enemies or an enclosed space, then sprinting in the opposite direction and sealing the door between you and the imminent micro-apocalypse.

 Void Bastards (Video Game) / int_b2441a13
comment
Static Stun Gun: A rare and slightly more realistic interpretation; the Zapper only stuns enemies unless they're very small/fragile. The duration is quite long, but the Zapper's inaccurate past a couple meters and only holds three shots at a time. The only things it can explicitly kill are Patients (in which case it only pops a single head from the entire swarm) and Peepers/Watchers (which require one or two shots). It stuns mechanical targets for much longer than organic ones though, making it a very effective way to get around or close to Gunpoints and their upgraded variants — or to mercilessly gun them down with your main weapon while they shudder and vibrate helplessly.

Oxygen Meter: One is always present, since you are exploring wrecked spaceships which lost all their atmosphere a long time ago.

Money Spider: The ship modifier "Meritous Crew" causes all killed citizens to leave behind a single Merit. This can be especially useful when dealing with Tourists, who self-destruct at the slightest provocation.

Double Speak: Tons of it. Prisoners are called "Correctional Clients". The entire crew of a ship being massacred is called "A personnel shortage". Prisoner death is referred to as an "End of life event." Physical beating are called "Blunt Force Therapy", and so on and so on. During the tutorial, when trying to make it back to the STEV, you're told that "dangerous occurrences" are happening. As it turns out, "dangerous occurrences" translates to "a space pirate vessel has just docked on the ship and you are about to die, been nice knowing you".

Item Farming: You can scavenge ships for food, fuel, ammo, and recyclable junk for as long as you want, and it prepares the player to be more prepared to venture in more difficult depths. Since the separation between depth levels is merely an arbitrary line on the nebula's map than can be crossed at will as long as you have fuel, going back to the easier part of the nebula's map is the safest way to farm stuff.

Canned Orders over Loudspeaker: Constantly, especially on CNT ships, and most of them in keeping with the Black Comedy theming. To roughly quote one example; If Pirates have boarded the ship you're on, one of their bosses will call out your location over the PA as you explore. She'll also yell at the other pirates if you manage to detach the tether.

Mooks, but no Bosses: With the exception of a rare modifier that gives one Citizen on a ship a buff to their stats, which you can generally easily avoid at your leisure (both the ships AND the enemy in question), there are no unique bosses to be fought, and the game instead ends once you've constructed your final Action Item with no final resistance.

Damage Over Time
 Void Bastards (Video Game) / int_e50fa775
comment
Damage Over Time: Stumbling into leaked radioactive material inflicts you with a radiation status, which functions in this manner. While it'll eventually time out, the damage from leaving it unchecked is high enough to make you scramble for a radiation cleanse station ASAP. However, enemies who stumble into these spills will be affected in the same manner, and the radiation does not expire for them. You can also fire poisonous bolts from the Spiker. This is useful for Scribes and Spooks, which spend a lot of time running away from the player. They're also silent, so target enemies won't know that they are taking damage.

Throw Down the Bomblet: Bushwhackers, Bangers, and the Clusterflack; Bushwhackers are retrievable proximity mines. They can also be set off by shooting them. Bangers are bouncing, rolling grenades. Clusterflacks are essentially a bundle of Bangers on a stick. Best thrown into enclosed spaces before promptly locking the nearest door.
