Boltgun Is Ridiculously Overhyped

The Good: + Great 'old school' graphics + Good sfx and music + Weapons feel punchy and responsive + Chainsaw locks onto enemies + Taunt your foes The Bad: - Extremely dumb enemy AI - Almost every enemy is a bullet sponge - Cluttered levels making it hard to run and gun - Annoying portal puzzle halfway grinds the game to a halt - Takes away your arsenal with every new episode - Too easy, even on higher difficulty modes - Purging gets repetitive really fast - Floaty controls and movement - Plasma rifle is crap The Ugly: - FPS drops (can be fixed by tweaking the engine.ini file)

Suffers from poor design

I played bolt gun on steam and I didn't really care fit it. The main problem isn't one thing, but lots of little things that come together that prevent the game from being fun. One such thing is the level design. There's too many gaps, too many cliffs and too many ways to fall into pits. You want to move fast and shoot everything insight, but you'll end up slipping off and falling into the pits as you do this. Your default movement speed is very slow, you can hold the shift key to run, but there's no always run function. This means you'll be constantly holding the shift to move at a decent speed. Despite the projectile based combat; the way the levels work, and the way the enemies fight, you will be forced to use cover as you play this game. The game looks like an old school retro shooter, but it actually plays a lot like a modern one.

Nailed WH40K aesthetic, but boring

Pretty much the title. I'd only buy for really cheap down the road. I wanted to quit by the 4th level due to samey-ness.

Superb Retro FPS, One of My Favorites

WH40K Boltgun has a lot going for it. It has an amazing arsenal of weapons. They all pack a punch, have amazing sound effects, and were balanced very well and remain useful throughout the entire game. TOGGLE SPRINT! it's a great feature that can be enabled in the settings. That way you can press and forget the sprint key. Then for the rest of the level you'll freely zip around and stomp with every step like RoboCop. Level design is great and I only got lost in one level. Some secrets are barely hidden, but most require a keen eye to spot. None of the levels were too long and never overstayed their welcome. Enemy variety is fantastic. There's tons of different creatures to fight. Some explode in one hit, but most pose quite a challenge. The bosses, in particular were designed super well and will obliterate the player if you're not careful. Unlike most of the boomer shooters I've played, Boltgun can get quite challenging. It took me quite a few tries to beat some of the bosses, and I only played on the hard setting. Some of the "Purges"/combat gauntlets can get super chaotic and it's fun as hell navigating these hectic fights and barely making it out alive. It'll be fun coming back to this on the highest difficulty. Also worth mentioning the music is damn good too. It meshes well with the atmosphere and will intensify when enemies swarm you. Dunno what else to say about Boltgun. I haven't had this much fun with a retro shooter since Amid Evil. Can't recommend it enough!
