VOID BASTARDS SOFTWARE PIRACY PLUS
This will obviously be a plus or minus depending on what you normally find funny, but I think this game hits the mark with its one-liners and smutty mirth. The story, which of course is centred around saving the Void Ark, is a light affair littered with toilet humour and sexual innuendo. These can be changed and replaced later on in the game if you can find a gene repair station. My first character, for example, had long arms which could reach objects across a room but also had a smokers cough which gave my position away when sneaking around. When you start a new game you will be given a randomly hydrated convict, which can come with advantageous skills but also negative quirks. More modern roguelikes tend to have levels of progression which are superimposed over the top, adding a sense of achievement even after your inevitable demise.
Void Bastards is essentially a first-person shooter with roguelike elements. The Void Ark has deemed it necessary to rehydrate select miscreants of the Ark so that they can assist in saving the ship: who said community service was dull. Yes, in the future human beings can be dried out and stored like Bisto gravy granules: if only the Avengers has been able to get this technology up and running. Out in the far reaches of space the Void Ark, a prison ship, has had a catastrophic malfunction and so it is down to the powdered occupants to save themselves. In case your gaming history is a little fuzzy, these are the talented folks that brought us legendary games like System Shock 2 and the Bioshock series. This game has been created by Blue Manchu, an indie developer which has many ex-Irrational developers lurking within its depths.
