Void Bastards – a Bioshock-Style Shooter

Void Bastards is a new strategy-shooter inspired by BioShock and System Shock 2. The game offers to guide a group of prisoners through “derelict spaceships and myriad dangers.” Players are said to plot a course, study ship layouts, infiltrate ships, and fight/sabotage/distract their way through them.

“Can you lead the misfit prisoners of the Void Ark through the derelict spaceships and myriad dangers of the Sargasso Nebula? Will you make the right choices about what to do, where to go and when to fight? Master combat, manage ship controls, scavenge supplies, craft improvised tools and much more,” states the description. 

Cara Ellison, the narrative designer, told Kotaku that Red Dwarf and Douglas Adams influenced the narrative. The game will be out next year. You can get more details here.
