There’s even special ships that let you add or remove traits, like letting you detect nearby enemies or everything turning black and white. Hey Phil, sorry about having to shoot you in the face. My personal favourite was a trait which let you know the first name of every robot, enemy and camera. More importantly, each prisoner comes with specific traits, some of which are practical and others that are…not so much. Get killed and you’ll simply step into the shoes of another rehydrated prisoner with their own name and a very short description of their crime. Don’t get too attached, though your prisoner is entirely disposable. has decided to rehydrate you in order to fix the ship. But with the ship now stranded the friendly British A.I. The prisoners on this ship have all been turned into a powder via a special dehydration technology. It feels unique to Void Bastards.Īs it turns out you’re actually a prisoner on-board an automated starship. I’ve seen other reviews compare Void Bastard to a comic, but as an avid comic reader I don’t see it. The magenta of the luxury cruise ships, the blue glow given off by an enemy as it gets ready to attack, it all looks amazing.

For the first while each new ship you board is a chance to soak up the graphics. Splashes of rich color, loads of neon, lots of contrast and strong lines all combine to create something unique. Without a shadow of a doubt Void Bastards is one of the best looking games of recent years. Once you’ve been successfully reeled in by the cool name and pretty pictures, though, what exactly does Void Bastards offer up? British accents, spaceships, tourists and lots of stuff to craft. It captures your attention, just like the striking graphical style does. You have to admit that as names go Void Bastards is a pretty good one.
