About Wild Bastards

About this game

From the veteran team behind Void Bastards and Card Hunter, Wild Bastards has you travel from planet to planet to recruit, manage and gun sling with a team of 13 outlaws, each of whom has their own weaponry, special power, and growth tree. On planets, you’ll wrangle loot and start showdowns that are then played out in intense, bite-sized shootouts.

The Wild Bastards were the most deadly gang in the galaxy until a posse from the puritanical magnate Jebediah Chaste eliminated one outlaw after another. Faced with their own mortality, the two remaining members have teamed up with the Drifter, a mysterious sentient spacecraft, to find and resurrect the dead gang members as they flee to the mythical Homestead.

Intense Showdowns

Prove you’re the ultimate gunslinger by blasting an array of enemies in bullet-flying shootouts.

Tactical FPS Combat

Use your wits to overcome crafty enemies that utilize cover, flank you, and employ a huge variety of special moves from teleportation to homing poisonous quills.

13 Outlaws to Play

Rebuild a gang of 13 outlaws, each with their own unique weapon, stunt, personality, relationships, and ability tree.

Build & Maintain Relationships

The gang know each other well, but that doesn’t mean they like each other. It’s your job to manage their dynamic relationships, but good luck getting feuding outlaws to ride together.

Keep The Gang Thriving

Accumulate resources to heal injured gang members, level up characters, improve relationships, and more.

Strategize for Victory

Evaluate each planet’s terrain, enemies, and traits before selecting which gang members you want to land there. Collect items, level up, and use special locations carefully to turn the odds in your favor!

An Ever-Changing, Lawless Galaxy

Roam the procedurally-generated galactic sectors and planets with varying parameters such as gravity, terrain features, weather, and more.

Challenge Mode

After completing the main campaign, a challenge mode unlocks to offer a sequence of challenge sectors with increasingly difficult levels and mutators to modify the play experience.

"The roguelike and FPS genres haven't been spliced so successfully since Deathloop—and Wild Bastards deserves just as much acclaim."

Verified purchase
Wild Bastards, a space western roguelike from the developers of Void Bastards, was on my wishlist for some time, as I enjoyed their art style, writing, and overall feel. The gameplay loop is engaging, the writing and world-building are excellent, and the dialogue is enjoyable. However, the repetitive dialogue becomes an issue. Each run forces players to skip through the same conversations by pressing OK or ESC. The random unlocks, maps, and conditions only become truly random after the forced tutorial (even if disabled pre-run), which comprises the first few jumps, leading to rapid repetition. Playing in Ironman mode, where death results in a complete restart, exacerbates this issue. If you can wrangle it on sale, Wild Bastards is worth saddling up for.
