Roguelikes are dangerous. Booting a good one up for the first time basically guarantees an unhealthy takeout dinner, a pile of unfolded laundry, and a 2am bedtime as you squeeze in just one more run. Back in 2019, developer Blue Manchu released an FPS roguelike inspired by System Shock called Void Bastards. Set on cramped ships and lauded for its comic book aesthetic and tight gameplay loop, it was well received but, for me, didn't quite take over my life in the same way as the genre's best. Enter its follow-up, Wild Bastards.
