2/18/2023 0 Comments Void bastards enemy numbers![]() ![]() Stealth, at least in theory, seems to be an integral part of Void Bastards. Still, moving around the ships with their randomly generated layouts and enemy placements manages to be a fun, and tense, experience. It’s definitely serviceable, but if you’re used to tighter shooters, Void Bastards doesn’t quite feel great to play. The shooting and movement in Void Bastards is okay, but it’s probably one of the more clunky aspects of the game, despite it being the main focus. A weapon’s effectiveness is determined by its upgrades, but even with really good weapons, sometimes the shooting falls flat. The weapons in Void Bastards range from your normal (or equivalency of normal) like the pistol, to the shotgun-like ‘stapler.’ There is also a grenade launcher, deployable distractions, and a gun that can “store” an enemy NPC or turret to be placed again later-like in fire, or somewhere you can’t be hurt by it. Crafting is an integral part to the experience, and aside from the parts for your broken FTL, you will find lots of items you can use to build and upgrade your arsenal. As I mentioned earlier, you don’t lose any progress towards items you’ve built or the research you’ve done. Screenshot: Void Bastardsĭeath means you have to return to your larger mother ship so another client can be rehydrated. If you run out of fuel, your only choice is to drift to the next location-something that takes significantly more time, and therefore more food. If you run out of food, you will begin to starve to death. These two vital resources are what keep your craft moving forward from vessel to vessel. In-between missions you, the ‘client,’ (the rehydrated avatar you use to raid various vessels) must eat. But you don’t lose any of the progress you’ve made torwards item upgrades, or towards repairing the FTL drive. If your character dies, you lose that character and whatever perks (and disadvantages) that person had. Problems usually mean death, or at the very least, loss of your precious HP.ĭying is something you should expect to do, and dying in Void Bastards is permanent. These ships are full of various enemy types and other hazards, some of which require planning to tackle without a lot of problems. To get these parts, you’re going to have to dive ever-deeper into the nebula while stealing various (and sometimes mundane sounding) supplies from other ships. In Void Bastards you play as any number of rehydrated criminals on a mission to fix the FTL drive on a ship controlled by an AI. ![]()
