The WhatsNext verdict

For Fans of tactical roguelikes and first-person shooters who enjoy character-swapping combat and strategic route planning.: Wild Bastards delivers a satisfying loop by fusing celestial board-game movement with intense, bite-sized FPS arena shootouts featuring a colorful roster of idiosyncratic outlaws. Tradeoff: The repetitive nature of clearing small arena encounters across long campaigns can feel formulaic compared to deeper narrative shooters.
