Wild Bastards (Nintendo Switch) is a roguelike first-person shooter with strategic elements developed by Blue Manchu and published by Modus Games. It combines fast-paced combat with tactical decision-making in a space western setting.
The game follows a group of outlaw gunslingers traveling across the galaxy after being ambushed and scattered by a ruthless enemy force known as the Corporate Consortium. Players must rebuild their crew, recruit surviving members, and seek revenge while journeying from planet to planet.
Each character in the crew has unique abilities, weapons, and playstyles. Players can choose different outlaws for each mission, creating varied combat approaches depending on team composition and enemy types.
Gameplay is structured around procedural runs where players travel between nodes on a galactic map, engage in shootouts, manage resources, and make strategic choices about which planets to visit next. Combat takes place in first-person with arena-style encounters against groups of enemies.
Between missions, players upgrade characters, unlock new abilities, and manage relationships within the outlaw crew, adding a light strategy layer to the action-focused gameplay.
