Wild Bastards (space western strategy shooter) blasts onto Nintendo Switch this September

This September, Nintendo Switch owners will be able to shoot their way through a stylish space western world in Wild Bastards. Developed by Blue Manchu and published by Maximum Entertainment, this space western strategy shooter will launch on September 12th in North America and Europe.

To celebrate the release date announcement, Maximum Entertainment shared a brand new trailer for the game, introducing the 13 outlaws you will get to manage in the game:

Today’s release date trailer showcases a look at the 13 outlaws players will manage as they navigate the cosmos. Each of these fiends has their own unique set of skills, special abilities, and relationships with the other gang members. Whether taking down enemies left and right with Spider Rosa’s blistering speed (and extra appendages), burning down the battlefield with Smoky’s flaming fists or hitting a bullseye with Fletch’s exploding arrows, these outlaws will need to work together and fight tooth, nail and…whatever it is ghosts fight with, to make it out unscathed.

Finally, here’s some more details for the game:

Wild Bastards finds its lawbreakers hunted and nearly eradicated by the menacing Jebediah Chaste. After killing all but two of the Bastards, his final targets are miraculously saved by a mysterious, sentient spaceship known as The Drifter. The Bastards are fleeing an unwinnable standoff, exploring an ever-changing and lawless galaxy rife with precious weapons and spoils, as well as grisly fates, in a grand attempt to resurrect their compatriots while living to steal another day.

Amass a gang of 13 playable and uniquely talented criminals, manage the relationships between them, and guide their growth. Juggle injuries and feuds while plotting a path through the galaxy, exploring and fleecing planets and, of course, shooting anyone or anything who gets in the way. Prevailing through Wild Bastards’ campaign also unlocks a Challenge Mode which adds modifiers and a steadily ramping challenge to keep outlaws on their toes.

Wild Bastards (Switch – eShop) comes out on September 12th in Europe and North America.
