Void Bastards

Void Bastards is a strategy-focused first-person shooter about leading a rag-tag group of prisoners out of the Sargasso Nebula. You choose where to go, what to do and who to fight, then carry out your plans aboard dangerous derelict spaceships filled with enemies and hazards.

Plan and explore ships

Before each mission, study the ship’s layout, possible hazards and enemies, and the terminals and systems you could use. Search for supplies and manipulate control systems as you move through the ship. You might restore power at the generator or fight your way into the security module to disable the ship’s defenses; choose when to fight, run or avoid a fight.

Improvise and survive

Use the supplies you find to craft tools and weapons, including a distracting robo-kitty and the unstable clusterflak. Between ships, navigate your tiny escape pod through the nebula, fleeing void whales and pirates and avoiding hungry hermits. Keep scavenging for food, fuel and other resources needed to stay alive.

Prisoners and campaign

The campaign takes 12–15 hours and uses an endless supply of prisoners, each with unique traits. When one dies, another takes their place, and any crafting progress carries over.
