Summary

  • Void War is a new PC space combat game, releasing May 30th, that resembles Subset Game’s FTL: Faster Than Light
  • Players command ancient starships through a war-torn universe against cultists, zealots and ravening corsairs
  • Navigation is through a node-based roguelite system map, encompassing story and trading opportunities along with combat
  • Player interaction includes real-time battles that can be paused for micromanagement, as well as resource allocation across ship systems and crew management
  • The game’s art direction is criticised as being too plain, although the setting is horrific, in line with Warhammer 40,000
  • Backer content indicates a wealth of ship variety, commanders, crew, weapons and modules in the full game release
