Description

In 1999, System Shock 2 redefined the first-person shooter as something more than just “run and gun”. In 2007, BioShock built on that to create a world and narrative of a depth that hadn’t been seen before. 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.

Void Bastards challenges you to lead a rag-tag group of prisoners home through the myriad dangers of the Sargasso Nebula. 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 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. 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. There's no omniscient voice in your ear telling you what to do. Void Bastard players solve their own problems.

Add 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.

Features:

Navigate a hazard filled nebula, choosing which ships to enter and which to avoid.

Calculate your odds before entering a wreck, equipping the best tools for the job.

Plan your mission using a ship map, taking account of power plants, warp chambers, security system s, radiation leaks and other features of he interactive environment.

Outfight mutant crew, security robots and other enemies using poison darts, rifters, robotic pets and whole host of other jury - rigged tools.

React to evolving scenarios, reassessing whether to push through to the ship's cafeteria or escape back to the pod without any food.

Escape with your loot, whether it be warp keys to evade nebula hazards or torpedoes to fight off pirate frigates.

Grow your prisoner, choosing what traits to keep and what to erase.

Craft new tools and upgrade old ones as you work your way to the nebula’s core.

Continue with a new prisoner and a new suite of traits when you die - but enjoy keeping all the tools and upgrades that your predecessors crafted.
