Void Bastard players solve their own problems.Īdd this uniquely new take on the FPS to a stunningly rendered world that draws its look from graphic novels, a shedload of novel weaponry and tools, a host of bizarre enemies both mechanical and biological (and don’t forget to throw in a deranged computer) and you have the makings of a classic. There's no omniscient voice in your ear telling you what to do.

Succeed by mastering moment to moment shooting, stealth and tactical skills as well as understanding when and how to use them in order to achieve your goals. Void Bastards takes the simulational first-person shooter to new places by letting you both set your own goals and then carry them out in real time. How to do so is entirely up to you as you both craft a long term strategy for escape and play out the missions into derelict spacecraft you come across.
