A fantastic roguelite with fast-paced action, light-hearted humour, and a great cast of characters. Though it may wear on you on a long play session, Wild Bastards has earned its place as Void Bastard’s successor.

In short, Wild Bastards is a roguelike first-person shooter just like Void Bastards, but it has an additional layer of turn-based strategy that its predecessor didn't have. This gives Wild Bastards a very different sense of pace, and while that might disappoint some fans, there's still plenty that's worth checking out. Though, not all of Wild Bastards' elements make a satisfying impact.

Which is a shame overall, because Wild Bastards has a robust core that just isn’t balanced. There’s obvious appeal in it, but only for the most persistent gamers who are capable of looking beyond some glaring flaws.

The novelty of a 13-character cast is a solid hook for Wild Bastards, but a myriad of streamlined and sidelined elements compromise its potential to the point of becoming a trip to outer space that you won't remember for long after hitting credits.

There’s little in games that thrill me more than solid, snappy first-person-shooter gunplay and titles in the roguelike genre. Even greater is the simple but still to this day galaxy brain idea of merging the two, creating to me some of the best and most fun to play titles of the last few years. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the inventiveness of games like Deathloop and how exciting it was to navigate time loops and use my memory from prior loops to finally take out that one dasta...

Blue Manchu's spiritual successor to Void Bastards is every bit as complex, challenging, and rewarding as that earlier gem.
