With a bunch of game details we knew were coming, Microsoft’s XO18 event also featured the announcement of a brand new strategic first person shooter called Void Bastards.
VOID BASTARDS WALLPAPER UPGRADE

Calculate your odds before entering a wreck, equipping the best tools for the job.Navigate a hazard filled nebula, choosing which ships to enter and which to avoid.

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.
VOID BASTARDS WALLPAPER HOW TO
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. Void Bastards challenges you to lead a rag-tag group of prisoners home through the myriad dangers of the Sargasso Nebula. Now, from the development director of BioShock and System Shock 2, comes a brand new kind of strategy shooter hybrid that takes the Shock lineage into new territory. In 2007, BioShock built on that to create a world and narrative of a depth that hadn’t been seen before. In 1999, System Shock 2 redefined the first-person shooter as something more than just “run and gun”. Don’t worry though, as any crafting progress you’ve made is retained from one to another. When one dies, another steps forward to carry on the fight. Void Bastards features a 12-15 hour campaign that you can complete with an endless supply of prisoners, each with their own unique traits. All the while you must keep scavenging for the food, fuel, and other resources that keep you alive. Flee from void whales and pirates, and politely avoid the hungry hermits.

Navigate your tiny escape pod through the vast nebula. Use your hard won supplies to improvise tools and weapons, from the distracting robo-kitty to the horribly unstable clusterflak.
VOID BASTARDS WALLPAPER GENERATOR
React to what you find - will you detour to the generator to bring the power back online or will you fight your way into the security module to disable the ship’s defenses? Choose carefully when to fight, when to run and when just to be a bastard. Move carefully through the dangerous ships, searching for supplies and manipulating control systems. On board derelict spaceships you’ll plan your mission, taking note of the ship layout, what hazards and enemies you might encounter and what terminals and other ship systems you can use to your advantage. And then you must carry out that strategy in the face of strange and terrible enemies. You make the decisions: where to go, what to do and who to fight. Your task is to lead the rag-tag Void Bastards out of the Sargasso Nebula. Forget everything you know about first-person shooters: Void Bastards asks you to take charge, not just point your gun and fire.
