After a posse nearly wipes out the Wild Bastards, the gang’s two surviving members team up with a sentient spacecraft to find and resurrect their scattered outlaw crew while fleeing across the galaxy. You lead the group on its journey from planet to planet.
On each planet, choose routes across a map, collect resources, and decide which encounters to take on before the pursuing threat closes in. Showdowns shift into brief first-person fights on separate arenas, where you use cover, positioning, and each outlaw’s abilities to defeat enemies.
Recruit from a roster of 13 outlaws, each with a distinct weapon, special power, and growth tree. Level them up, equip mods, heal injured members, and manage relationships that can affect who is willing to fight together. A challenge mode unlocks after the campaign.
Reviews are divided on the combat and overall loop. Players who enjoy the game often single out the distinct outlaw characters, their dialogue and voice acting, and the comic-book sci-fi western presentation. Some also praise planning routes and combining characters for fights. Common criticisms include repetitive encounters and complaints that shooting can feel unbalanced or frustrating; several reviewers also found the campaign’s ending anticlimactic.
