What is Void Bastards?

Void Bastards is a single-player, first-person action roguelite in which you lead prisoners out of the Sargasso Nebula. Choose derelict ships to board, search them for supplies, use their systems, and fight or avoid enemies. Between raids, manage food and fuel and craft equipment. When a prisoner dies, another takes their place, but crafting progress remains.

What players say

Players praise the comic-book visuals, dry humor, and equipment progression. The most common complaint is that ship raids become repetitive; some players also find the scarce supplies and ammo grindy.
