The story of Void Bastards receives praise for its unique tone, humor, and creative presentation, even if it’s not deeply developed. Critics like GameCritics highlight the dystopian setting infused with dark humor and absurd elements, such as bureaucratic incarceration reasons and a bleak, macabre world. GameSpew notes that the comic book-style cutscenes and voice acting enhance the comedic narrative, while Shacknews appreciates the engaging dialogue, enemy personalities, and environmental storytelling that add charm despite simplicity. The game’s satirical take on corporate control and bureaucracy, as mentioned by Slant Magazine, and its Douglas Adams-esque existential humor, noted by DarkStation, are frequently cited as standout aspects. These elements create a memorable, quirky experience that complements the gameplay rather than overshadowing it. However, many critics criticize the story for being underdeveloped, repetitive, and lacking emotional depth. EGM and GameGrin point out that the narrative feels minimalistic, with randomized objectives and a focus on mechanics over plot progression. Game Informer describes the storytelling as nihilistic and absurdist, prioritizing dark humor over character development or meaningful world-building. PC Gamer and Softpedia argue that the game’s premise—prisoners scavenging ships in a nebula—is thinly veiled, with limited lore or exploration of the broader universe. Even TrueAchievements acknowledges that while enemies have some characterization through dialogue, the overall narrative feels sparse, and GameStar notes the plot serves more as a framework than a cohesive story. These critiques highlight a recurring issue: the game’s focus on gameplay mechanics often comes at the expense of a compelling or nuanced storyline. Overall, the consensus among critics is that Void Bastards prioritizes gameplay over narrative depth, but its humorous tone and creative presentation mitigate this shortcoming. While 3DJuegos and COGconnected acknowledge the story’s secondary role, they appreciate its quirky, satirical edge. Conversely, EGM and Game Informer express frustration with the lack of narrative substance, arguing that the game’s absurdist approach fails to create emotional investment. Despite these mixed reactions, many reviewers agree that the game’s unique style—whether through comic book visuals, dark humor, or bureaucratic satire—makes it an engaging experience even if the story isn’t its strongest suit. The balance between gameplay and narrative remains a point of contention, but the game’s distinct identity ensures it resonates with fans of its genre despite its storytelling limitations.

The gameplay of Void Bastards is widely praised for its innovative blend of roguelike mechanics, strategic depth, and procedural generation. Critics highlight its emphasis on resource management, survival, and tactical decision-making, with many noting the engaging loop of exploring procedurally generated spaceships, scavenging for supplies, and adapting to randomized challenges. 3DJuegos and AusGamers commend the game’s focus on varied strategies, enemy diversity, and adaptive difficulty, while COGconnected and Critical Hit praise its mix of ship navigation, tool upgrades, and permadeath mechanics. TheXboxHub and TrueAchievements highlight the addictive nature of the upgrade systems and risk/reward dynamics, with GameGrin and PC Gamer appreciating the smooth execution of core mechanics despite some repetition. The game’s ability to balance stealth, combat, and exploration—often through unique tools like the Rifter or Kitty Bots—has been lauded as a standout feature, offering players a sense of creativity and flexibility in their approach. However, several critics point to repetitive elements and design flaws that detract from the experience. Everyeye.it and GameSpew criticize the game’s later stages for recycled content and monotonous ship exploration, while Jeuxvideo.com and GameInformers note the repetitive loop of traveling between ships to gather resources. PC Gamer and Vandal highlight issues with enemy variety and combat repetition, arguing that the gameplay risks becoming predictable over time. Additionally, some reviewers, like COGconnected and Gamer.nl, mention the steep difficulty curve and punishing permadeath mechanics, which may frustrate less experienced players. The shooting mechanics are also criticized as repetitive by multiple outlets, including Gamer.nl and GameSpew, despite praise for enemy variety and progression systems. These critiques suggest that while Void Bastards excels in its core design, its longevity is challenged by a lack of sustained innovation in certain areas. Overall, the consensus among critics is that Void Bastards is a strong entry in the roguelike genre, offering a compelling mix of strategy, resource management, and procedural unpredictability. While some reviewers, like 3DJuegos and TheXboxHub, emphasize its addictive gameplay and creative mechanics, others, such as Everyeye.it and PC Gamer, acknowledge its repetitive tendencies and minor flaws. Despite these criticisms, the game is consistently praised for its depth, replayability, and immersive sim elements, with many noting that its strengths—such as adaptive difficulty, varied enemy encounters, and meaningful progression systems—outweigh its shortcomings. The balance between challenge and creativity, along with its focus on tactical decision-making, has cemented Void Bastards as a memorable experience for fans of the genre, even if it occasionally falters under repeated playthroughs.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the graphics and visual design.

The majority of critics praised Void Bastards’ graphics and visual design as a standout feature, emphasizing its distinctive comic book-inspired aesthetic. Reviewers consistently highlighted the game’s cel-shaded art style, vibrant colors, and bold, cartoonish visuals that evoke influences from classic comics like Rogue Trooper and Jack Kirby (Critical Hit). The game’s 2D enemy designs, such as glowing mutants and fedora-wearing Tourists (AusGamers), alongside onomatopoeic text effects and dynamic sound cues (EGM), were noted for enhancing both immersion and gameplay clarity. Many critics celebrated the cohesive art direction, with GameSpot praising its “striking comic book-style aesthetic” and Jeuxvideo.com highlighting its “originality and immersive visual design.” The stylized environments, from retro-SF aesthetics to grotesque markets (GameCritics), were seen as integral to the game’s identity, creating a visually distinctive and humorous tone that sets it apart from other shooters. While the overall reception was overwhelmingly positive, some critics pointed to minor drawbacks. A few noted that the art style, though charming, could become repetitive over time. COGconnected observed that the “animated cutscenes in panel form” and cel-shaded visuals, while initially engaging, risked monotony, while Vandal mentioned that environments “become repetitive over time.” Additionally, technical limitations on certain platforms, such as the Nintendo Switch’s lower resolution and tiny text (God is a Geek), were cited as issues affecting readability. XBLA Fans also suggested that some players might wish for more detailed environments despite the art style’s nostalgic charm. These critiques, however, were generally framed as minor drawbacks rather than major flaws, with most agreeing that the visual identity remained strong throughout. The consensus among critics was overwhelmingly positive, with nearly all acknowledging Void Bastards’ graphics and visual design as a defining strength. The game’s comic book aesthetic was repeatedly described as “impeccable” (TrueAchievements), “sumptuous” (GameSpew), and “gorgeous” (Softpedia), with many praising its ability to blend humor, functionality, and artistic flair. While some noted repetition or technical limitations, these were overshadowed by the game’s unique visual identity, which critics like TheXboxHub called “innovative” and GameGrin deemed “beautiful.” The art style not only enhanced the game’s narrative and gameplay but also contributed to its memorable, cohesive atmosphere, cementing it as a standout example of stylized design in gaming.

Music and Sound Design

TL;DR

Void Bastards’ sound design excels at immersing players with adaptive combat cues, eerie atmospherics, and comedic voice lines, but critics rarely dig into its musical depth, focusing instead on how audio enhances tension and tone—proving its effectiveness even without technical breakdowns.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the music and sound design.

The reviews collectively highlight several positive aspects of Void Bastards’ sound design and music, emphasizing their role in enhancing gameplay and atmosphere. EGM praises the adaptive soundtrack that responds to combat scenarios, noting how sound cues help players track enemies effectively. TrueAchievements commends the "catchy" and tonally fitting music, while NintendoWorldReport highlights atmospheric elements like creaks and alien mumbling that create tension, likening the audio to a horror title. Softpedia also acknowledges an "immersive soundtrack" that complements the game’s dark, humorous tone. These critiques underscore how the audio design contributes to immersion and player engagement, with specific mentions of enemy voice lines adding comedic and satirical layers (EGM) and environmental sounds reinforcing the game’s eerie, claustrophobic vibe (NintendoWorldReport). However, several critics point out a lack of depth in their analysis of the musical composition itself. Jeuxvideo.com (twice) and Vandal note that while the audio elements are acknowledged as part of the game’s cohesive aesthetic, they avoid detailed discussions of sound effects or musical structure. Similarly, Noisy Pixel mentions that specific music details are absent from their review, focusing instead on tension created by sound design. This suggests a general consensus that Void Bastards’ audio is effective but not thoroughly dissected in many critiques. The absence of technical or compositional insights leaves room for speculation about the soundtrack’s originality or complexity, with some reviewers prioritizing visual and narrative aspects over auditory details. Despite these gaps, the overall sentiment among critics leans positive, recognizing the sound design as a cohesive and immersive component of Void Bastards. While not all reviews delve into technical specifics, the recurring praise for atmospheric tension (NintendoWorldReport), adaptive combat cues (EGM), and tonal alignment (TrueAchievements, Softpedia) indicates that the audio elements are well-integrated into the game’s identity. The lack of detailed analysis does not detract from the general appreciation for how sound enhances gameplay and mood, suggesting that Void Bastards succeeds in using its audio to support its unique blend of humor, horror, and strategy. Critics like EGM and TrueAchievements provide enough insight to affirm the soundtrack’s effectiveness, even if deeper exploration of its musical qualities remains unexplored.

Voice Acting

TL;DR

Void Bastards' voice acting shines with sharp British wit, sarcastic charm, and memorable character quirks—especially the AI guide’s snarky tone and robot companion’s dry humor—but repetitive lines and underdeveloped dialogue dilute its impact, making it a stylish but uneven pillar of the game’s quirky appeal.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the voice acting.

The voice acting in Void Bastards receives largely positive reception, with many critics highlighting its humor, character depth, and comedic tone. COGconnected praises the AI guide’s “distinct British voice” and “witty quips,” while GameSpew calls it “brilliant,” noting how it enhances storytelling and adds personality to the gameplay. TheXboxHub emphasizes the robot AI companion’s “passive sarcastic English accent” as a standout, calling it a source of humor that offsets the game’s repetitive mechanics. Similarly, GameGrin appreciates the enemies’ British accents and the HR computer’s “sarcastic, snarky tone,” while We Got This Covered highlights Kevan Brighting’s “humorous guidance” for the dapper robot character. Critics like NintendoWorldReport and PlayStation Universe also note how British-voiced dialogue and quirky interactions contribute to the game’s charm and dark comedy, reinforcing its unique personality. However, some critics express reservations about the voice acting’s consistency and impact. PC Gamer is notably critical, calling the NPC dialogue “repetitive and annoying,” which detracts from the experience despite its humorous intent. TrueAchievements acknowledges that enemy and corporate boss voice lines add “light characterization” but note they aren’t central to the game, while Guardian mentions the AI advisor’s “plummy-voiced” dialogue without elaborating on its quality. Additionally, several reviews, such as DarkStation and Vandal, describe the voice acting as “understated” or “short,” suggesting it serves more as a background element than a focal point. These critiques highlight that while the voice work is effective in small doses, its repetitive nature or lack of depth may not resonate with all players. Overall, the consensus leans toward appreciation for Void Bastards’ voice acting as a complementary but not essential element of its charm. Most critics agree that the British accents, sarcastic AI, and humorous dialogue enhance the game’s satirical tone and provide memorable character moments, particularly through the robot companion and enemy interactions. However, the repetitive nature of some lines and lack of elaboration on human voice actors (as noted by PC Gamer and others) create a mixed impression. Despite these drawbacks, the voice acting is widely seen as a successful addition to the game’s quirky aesthetic, with many reviewers—such as GameSpew, TheXboxHub, and God is a Geek—highlighting its role in making the experience more engaging and entertaining.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the technical performance.

The technical performance of Void Bastards varies across platforms, with several reviewers highlighting its stability and smoothness on certain systems. On Xbox One, Everyeye.it noted minor vertical sync issues but emphasized the game’s overall stability, while Gamer.nl praised its ability to run smoothly at 60 FPS without crashes or bugs on lower-end hardware. For PC, both GameGrin and Gamer.nl described the gameplay as "smooth," with the latter specifically noting consistent performance at 60 FPS even on less powerful machines. On PS4, PlayStation Universe acknowledged occasional framerate drops during intense scenes but stressed that no major bugs or crashes were reported, suggesting potential fixes via patches. These positives indicate that Void Bastards generally delivers a polished experience across platforms, with only minor technical hiccups. However, the game faces more pronounced technical challenges on certain systems. On Nintendo Switch, multiple critics highlighted significant performance issues: God is a Geek criticized "random frame-skip" and "tiny text" due to resolution limitations, while NintendoWorldReport noted occasional hitching and lower frame rates during high-density combat scenarios. Noisy Pixel also mentioned frame-rate problems during intense moments, though they deemed it a minor flaw. On PS4, PlayStation Universe pointed to framerate drops on the PS4 Pro during demanding sequences, which could disrupt immersion. Meanwhile, Xbox One’s issues were relatively minor, with Everyeye.it citing only "minor vertical sync issues." These negatives suggest that while the game is functional on most platforms, its technical execution is less consistent on the Switch and PS4. Overall, the critics’ consensus leans toward Void Bastards being technically sound despite platform-specific quirks. The Xbox One and PC versions received praise for their stability and smooth performance, with Gamer.nl and GameGrin emphasizing their reliability across hardware tiers. The Switch port, however, faced more criticism due to frame-rate inconsistencies and visual limitations, though some reviewers acknowledged its overall playability. The PS4’s issues were less severe but still notable, with PlayStation Universe expecting developer support to address them. While no platform is entirely free of technical flaws, the game’s core mechanics and addictive gameplay loop appear to outweigh these shortcomings, making it a worthwhile experience despite its imperfections.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the replay value.

The overall sentiment among critics regarding Void Bastards’ replay value is largely positive, with many praising its roguelike mechanics and procedural generation as key drivers of repeated playthroughs. Reviewers like 3DJuegos, AusGamers, and Critical Hit highlight how random level generation, varied strategies, and emergent storytelling create unique experiences each session. The permadeath system paired with randomized traits (as noted by COGconnected) and the roguelike structure (emphasized by GameCritics and GameSpew) encourage players to experiment with different approaches. Additionally, Gamer.nl and TrueAchievements commend the game’s ability to offer new combinations of ship layouts, prisoner traits, and progression systems even after extended playtime, reinforcing its addictive nature. The blend of procedural diversity and strategic depth ensures that no two runs feel identical, making the game appealing for players who enjoy adaptive challenges. However, several critics point out limitations that could diminish long-term replayability. EGM and Everyeye.it criticize repetitive environments and recycled content, noting that the initial novelty fades quickly despite weapon variety. The lack of a New Game Plus mode (mentioned by COGconnected) and abrupt endings are seen as drawbacks, while GameSpew and Jeuxvideo.com argue that the core loop of crafting and item collection becomes monotonous over time. Shacknews and PC Gamer also highlight that ship layouts and enemy configurations grow repetitive, reducing engagement after multiple playthroughs. Additionally, some reviewers, like Softpedia, explicitly label the game as having “low replay value” due to limited enemy variety and unchanging mechanics, suggesting that the experience may not sustain interest beyond a few sessions. Despite these criticisms, there is a general consensus that Void Bastards offers enough variability and challenge to justify multiple playthroughs, particularly for fans of rogue-like games. While GameSpot and PC Gamer acknowledge frustrations with combat and enemy design, they still recognize the game’s compulsive nature and persistent upgrades as incentives to return. The balance between procedural generation and strategic depth (as noted by Guardian and Noisy Pixel) ensures that players can derive satisfaction from mastering systems, even if repetition eventually sets in. Ultimately, while the game’s replayability is not without flaws, its emphasis on adaptability and emergent storytelling keeps it engaging for those who appreciate its unique blend of chaos and challenge.

The majority of reviewers praise Void Bastards for its vibrant art style, innovative gameplay mechanics, and engaging tactical elements. Critics like 3DJuegos highlight its "visually striking" design and "engaging" action, while GameSpot commends its "stylish" presentation and "inventive gameplay." The game’s unique blend of roguelike, first-person shooter, and strategy elements is frequently lauded, with We Got This Covered calling it a "fantastic" example of a streamlined immersive sim. TrueAchievements even hails it as one of the best games of the year, emphasizing its "design, player agency, and execution." The dark humor and quirky tone also resonate strongly, with GameGrin noting its "absurd sense of humor" and Critical Hit appreciating its "tense, quirky roguelike" identity. These positives underscore the game’s appeal as a niche but well-crafted experience. However, several critics point to recurring flaws that detract from the overall experience. Repetition in gameplay mechanics and enemy design is a common complaint, with Everyeye.it criticizing the "repetitive gameplay" and "unimpressive ending," while PC Gamer notes "annoying voice acting" and "uneven enemy design." The narrative and story elements are also frequently underwhelming, as highlighted by EGM, which points to "narrative shortcomings," and Jeuxvideo.com, which criticizes the "lack of narrative." Additionally, some reviewers, like XBLA Fans, mention "punishing progression" and "unfair enemy design," while GameStar acknowledges the game’s "repetition" and "lack of deeper narrative exploration." These issues, though not universal, suggest that Void Bastards struggles to maintain long-term engagement for all players. Despite these criticisms, the overall consensus among critics is largely positive, with many recommending the game as a worthwhile experience. While Everyeye.it gives it a low score, most reviewers acknowledge its strengths and unique qualities. TheXboxHub calls it an "excellent indie title," and GameCritics recommends it for fans of systemic FPS games, noting its "concise 10-15 hour campaign." Quarter to Three even hails it as one of the best games of 2019, praising its "flexibility" and "creative design." The game’s blend of humor, strategy, and challenging gameplay seems to resonate across platforms, with NintendoWorldReport highlighting its "exceptional visual/audio design" and Shacknews calling it a "must-play for fans of the genre." While flaws like repetition and narrative depth are acknowledged, the critical reception leans toward celebrating Void Bastards as a distinctive and enjoyable title.

TL;DR

Void Bastards shines with its vibrant art, inventive roguelike-shooter blend, and dark humor, earning praise as a standout immersive sim. However, repetitive mechanics, uneven enemies, and shallow narrative detract from its appeal, though most still call it a must-play for fans of the genre.
