Wild Bastards is a single-player roguelike first-person shooter featuring a full story campaign with multiple difficulties and modes. There are 13 playable characters (Outlaws), all members of the titular Wild Bastards. Outlaws have feuds and friendships, which affect who can team up and certain gameplay synergies. It begins with the remaining 2 outlaws tasked with crossing the galaxy and resurrecting their fallen teammates. The player can warp to different sectors that feature randomized planets and anomalies. Players can choose a path through the sector and land on planets to gather mods, upgrades, and rescue playable characters. While on the planet, the player has a limited move set on a gameboard of encounters. Players must navigate and survive encounters while planning a path to get loot and escape on the Beam Station tile. If an outlaw dies on a planet, they must be healed with a tonic to become playable again.

Developed by Canberra, Australia based studio Blue Manchu, the Wild Bastards is a spiritual sequel to the studio's previous game Void Bastards. The game was announced in March 2024.
