Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is a retro FPS set in the Warhammer 40k universe. It feels like Doom-meets-Warhammer-with-mouseaim. It was added to XBGP this month, and so I decided to give it a shot.

Pun intended.

I think for someone who loves Warhammer, it would be awesome. However, I'm not a Warhammer girl, so clanking around in the armor, and killing everyone for Warhammer reasons just doesn't resonate with me.

In terms of gameplay, it's an OK retro FPS. The titular boltgun IS kind of fun, dealing high-speed accurate death to mobs half a map away, but it doesn't feel like enough to carry me through the whole game.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is:

3: OK

And just like that, has come to an end. Utterly fantastic game that really did bring back memories of the old days, but also completely modern at the same time.

If you're in the mood to shoot a lot, a LOT, of stuff and want a good challenge, you should pick it up. Today is the last day to get it for $14 and change!

Actually already several hours into Warhammer 40k: . Doom inspired, but also shades of Destiny, Serious Sam, and others.

I haven’t played a lot released in 2023, but this feels so far like my second favorite behind Hi-Fi Rush.
