In reply to I was really excited for Void Bastards ever since their first showing and kept tabs on it constantly, when it released and I got to play it, it was one of the biggest disappointments of my gaming life. So all this beautiful art style gets wasted in pointless repetitiveness, no story, bland game design and bad shooting mechanics, which make it a waste on a very mediocre game as well. I don't know if I had the luck of the devil, but the 5-6 ships I saw were basically the same, room and layout wise. But the unnecessary branching paths and random map generator are extremely repetitive. The lore reason for swapping characters when one dies is perfect, as well as why they each have different characteristics and stats. Without a story and any sense of progression, my time was being wasted.īland game design, bad shooting mechanics and little variety in strategies add to the monotony. Those upgrades mentioned in the Verdict felt bland and not all that useful in my 2 hours of playthrough. The game gave me no incentive to kee playing it. The fact that it's a roguelike is bad enough, but the lack of a proper story is it's biggest offense. I was really excited for Void Bastards ever since their first showing and kept tabs on it constantly, when it released and I got to play it, it was one of the biggest disappointments of my gaming life. Now as to whether or not you should pick it up on Switch and not another system, the decision is really up to you. Aside from those 2 specific problems, Void Bastards remains Void Bastards, so it's clearly a game to play if you're into the genre. As a result, we advise you to use the Pro controller whether you play in handheld or on your TV. Alas, the game does not support the console's gyroscope, which is a shame as it would have been such a great addition (it worked so well in PS Vita's Uncharted). Void Bastards has never been a game with solid and precise shooting mechanics but it's made worse when you don't play with a Pro controller, especially when aiming vertically. Another problem which isn't exactly due to the game itself is that playing in portable mode with the Joy-Con does not feel right. Although unstable frame rate is clearly not our cup of tea, we managed to put that aside and have fun. Our frame rate analysis tool also shows that the game isn't locked at 30, which would be fine if the game could handle high frame rates on Switch, but not only can it not, it can also drop in the low 20s at times. Performance isn't ideal when there are too many enemies around and they all start shooting (or exploding), which can affect gameplay a little bit, and even during more quiet exploration sequences, we've witnessed some micro-freezes both in handheld and docked modes. Considering it's an easy game to pick up and play for short sessions, the Switch release was clearly something people had been waiting for, but the port isn't perfect unfortunately. Its atmosphere and art style are also 2 pretty good reasons to stick around as you will see in the footage we recorded. Because it's a roguelike, it's hard to avoid the feeling of repetitiveness that eventually pops out after exploring just another ship that looks very similar to the previous one, but what will undoubtedly give you the incentive to keep playing Blue Manchu's title is that it lets you keep the gear you unlock every time you die and your character gets replaced by a new one. Void Bastards was not perfect back when it was originally released and quite logically those flaws have also landed on Switch.
