Wild Bastards

Fun & light FPS rougelite, but rather shallow though can get a bit repetitive and very RNG reliant, with little build customization. Story isn't great either but the character designs are cool and writing this much wild-west style dialog must've been quite a task for the writers

a difficult recommendation. i liked Void Bastards, it was a lot of fun but had a number of issues that become apparent after playing for a bit. i like Wild Bastards, but it, like VB, is limited by the concept and presentation, as well as some unrefined mechanics and bugs i dont recall seeing in VB. right off the bat, i encountered a borderline game-breaking bug the entire time i have played the game, which is that the game thinks i have a controller connected or something and am holding one direction down at all times. while this did not cause issues during the actual real-time sections, it constantly caused problems in the other layers, like the warp map (i could not reliably jump planets as another planet would be forced selected, and it was roughly 50/50 if i could click through or if the wrong one got picked), the feud ring (almost impossible to select an outlaw to share beans before the selection moved to someone else), the main bridge screen (impossible to select anyone, game instantly rapidly cycled through the roster as soon as one was moused over), and the planet map (felt as though selections and screen-panning were being fought, selecting POIs was inconsistent and accidental double clicking would move outlaw bunch in inopportune ways). i beat the game, but it was incredibly frustrating to lack fine control in such a manner. other bugs include characters in a level sometimes getting stuck in places it is almost impossible to hit them (i got lucky with sniping from absurd distances and winging their hitbox more than a few times), or beginning to levitate and becoming trapped in place. i also got stuck more than once on world geometry, and probably would have had to quit if not for a miracle of rapidly jumping and swinging around to build momentum and slide out. i appreciate the distinct personalities and voice acting of the gang's members and enemies, the great art direction, the music stings, the aesthetics of UI elements and descriptions of in-world things for gameplay purposes. however WB shares many structural issues as Void Bastards, such as the low level amount (you will see the same areas many times, and i had moments where the exact same level appeared twice in a row on different map dots), the limitations of 2D sprites in a 3D world (especially with the addition of large height differences which make hitting enemies above or below sometimes nearly impossible, let alone just seeing them), and poor escalation (i can breeze through multiple encounters or be dragged through the mud on just one, and it can really feel as though it was unrelated to anything i did, or the threat level/types of enemies/level layout. you are also highly incentivized to rush through a world and avoid fighting the minibosses, so there is a prevailing sense that things end without a climax or catharsis, as being in a climactic scenario is an indication you made a huge mistake and are about to lose). i will be generous and recommend Wild Bastards to anyone who liked Void Bastards, but be warned that they share many of the same flaws, and WB introduces brand new ones.

This game is a slog. Slow and the combat isn't that fun nor is the overarching progression. I like Void a lot better. This game just feels boring and the combat isn't especially fun

Did not expect to play as much time on it. It's a fun game I would find myself play for 30mn or an hour or so every evening, which is good ! it's nice to have small sessions games like this one. There is definitely the right amount of content, the game shouldn't be longer. The dialog and voice acting makes it a pretty fun experience. What annoyed are some musics that kept being played even though I disabled all music. Mostly when the princes lands on a planet.

Прошел их предыдущую игру еще на выходе Void Bastards - очень зашла, прям скажу "Моё". Эта в чем-то похожа, но в основном игра другая, тоже залипалово ещё то. Советую.

West of everything we are wild
