Solid roguelite tactical-ish FPS. Instead of guns, you have characters with their own ability and weapon, and you pick two for fight. AI surprised me, not used to enemies actually try to seek cover from you.

I am now a fan of this game's studio, Blue Manchu

The game starts a bit slow, I would say. I played the demo and I was with a 3 to 4 stars feeling.

But after completing the game, experiencing it as a whole for almost 20 hours I gave it a 5. I gave me huge amounts of fun, strategy and "want more" (I hope there will be some future content for this)

The game has minor things to adjust, of course. But I had much fun and I love the way Blue Manchu games feel. I am happy to see a "Bastards" origin with Void Bastards (which I loved as well) and now Wild Bastards.

(I am playing the game on Steam)

UPDATE I have been playing the challenges and new campaign mode that are unlocked after first time cleaning the game. I can't avoid some things that are annoying me. One, is that we can never face Chester, I thought there was a way, but it does not seem to be the case. The other thing is, I can't stop feeling that there should be more rewards for clearing the game. The final thing is, it seems, to me, the infamy system tiers are a bit annoying.

Cool setting, atmosphere, and characters, but the FPS part feels clunky and cheating at moments.
