    This game can be very fun but within the first hour or two I've noticed a fair amount of frame rate drops and input lag. These aren't things I typically notice or even care about but it's hard to be sneaking around a ship when your character continues moving after you've stopped pushing the analog stick.

    Its a good game, but bad performance on Switch. Its really annoying to suffer frame rate issues frequently. Dont understand why they didnt give us an option to lock 30 fps. Lets hope fro some patch to fix this issues. Cheers.

    Well game is fun, a bit of rogue lite playstyle in comic graphic with scfi landscape .
    They fix performance issues but they didnt add gyroscope so its not good to play on switch
    A lot of pplz complain about no gyroscope on redit that why game sell half like it could be.

    Good game! The art style is fun, the games gives a competent challenge, good humor and horror elements, and a very addictive gameplay loop. The fps elements and combat, which is a quite large part of the gameplay, are unexciting, and an be overly clunky at times,

    I've just completed the main story and I enjoyed it. Its cartoon/comic book graphics are done to a good standard.

    The funny comments off the enemies made me laugh. You can sneak around or go in guns blazing so can be strategic. I got it for £15 which is a fair price as some ships you board to scavenger parts can be a bit samey. It lasted me around 10 hours but you can carry on

    It lasted me around 10 hours but you can carry on afterwards to scavenge more parts to make all the gear. I enjoyed the game.

    Void Bastards is a delightful roguelike romp through a wonderfully unique cel-shaded comic book world full of loud-mouthed enemies and smart-arsed robots. The core combat is straightforward stuff, but it's given plenty of extra bite through the fantastically evocative graphics and kept interesting with hackable turrets and a handful of other BioShock-esque elements that give your engagements with the many Screws, Juves, Tourists and Spooks you'll come across as you traverse the Sargasso Nebula a slightly strategic lift. Graphically it's a beautiful thing, has top-notch sound design and its combination of coarse British humour and oddball space horror give the whole endeavour a highly original flavour that's well worth checking out, even if the moment-to-moment action doesn't quite match the rest of the package.

    Despite some technical issues, Void Bastards on Nintendo Switch is a superb, clever game that deserves to be played. Don't sleep on it again!

    It has its flaws but this inspired mix of first person shooter and traditional roguelike offers a level of freedom and tactical decision making that many bigger budget games can only dream of.
