So far: Not recommended, only marginally (re)playable, fun on lowest difficulties. (Having beaten the game) at highest difficulty things really stand out: 0. Saber has no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clue how to do balance. remember this. Projectile spammy game, just like in Space Marine 2, and it makes no effort to hide the devs' laziness. 1. The beta feel of the game overall, no refinement. Enemies crowd, pre fire, melee and ranged just feel boring, and enemy AI / spawning is random af, so the devs actually have no clue what the continuous difficulty is on higher levels, just a mere range of possibilities and combinations of enemies and possibly when they show up. I VERY much doubt the devs & managers cleared the higher difficulties if they did it at all. 2. The weapon balance is atrocious, melee is a joke. does not see any proper use case during the game, the power ups that show-up are ♥♥♥♥♥ and timed inpropiate, cant even bring them along. 3. Every enemy has pre fire aimbot shots and placement. Not to mention they can and will teleport in behind you for whatever reason, even though you looked there 1 second ago. 4 Clearly no creativity in placement, maps and enemy design. The spike in difficulty is as follows: Small AF linear area, Pre fired heavy explosives and plasma shots against you, then rushing melee enemies that cannot be blocked, staggered or parried, weapons do AoE damage to yourself, grenades all self damage. Then they spawn a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of enemies in this same corridor, AND behind you. You cannot go back between areas, you're forced to transition and move, enemies physically block you in 2D sprites you cannot see. Repeated ad infinitum. 5 The game tunnelvisions and it shows in the map and level design. Very lackluster. Only the warp levels had actual game design worth talking about. 6. The core gameplay is switching between weapons and enemy types, which is terribly implemented, no doom esque scrollwheel, just number keys or mouse wheel up or down. This makes switching to slots 7 to 9 a Pain in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass. NO info on the enemies, random af spawns behind and in front of you, not like Doom AT all. Enemies that charge and charge without a block / parry mechanic make this very tedious. Melee is a joke, did i mention that, and you can still get damaged during melee animations, whilst being stuck on that position. I've cleared most Doom esque shooters and RPGs on highest difficulties, this game is not worth its full price. Only buy when discounted 90%. 3/10, lazy, and a cheap moneygrab by GW and co. The game is still in beta. Maybe Boltgun 2 fixes the many design flaws this game has. Do not trust it.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 30: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

While playing this game, Marneus Calgar appeared in my room and casted fist on my butthole I came 10/10 I serve ultradaddy
快快快!冲冲冲!边跑边打就是干,像素爆浆,爽就完事。 剧情是什么东西?打不过游戏内开作弊器。 缺点就是少点近战武器,后期近战伤害低,没有肉搏爽感。 等离子枪老他妈炸到自己,干!
Приобрёл игру преимущественно из-за доверия большому количеству положительных отзывов и общей симпатии к вселенной W40k. По итогу, игра мне скорее не понравилась. Прошёл её полностью, но большого количества эмоций от прохождения не получил. По сути, прошёл игру чтоб закрыть этот гештальт. Вторую часть покупать не планирую. Геймплей довольно однородный (дойти от точки А к точке Б, попутно уничтожая противников разной степени живучести и агрессивности).
Decimating pixelated heretics was never more fun!
Boomer shooter heresy with a retro coat of paint. [list] [*]A line on the ground telling you where to find the key instead of interesting navigation with an automap to explore. [*]Pickups littered everywhere instead of a well balanced ammo/health economy. [*]Long arena battles with enemies spawning in waves, hedged by an autosave right before the fight instead of thoughtful, level wide design awareness. [/list] A strong initial impression but the cracks show by just the third level. I get the feeling the developers don't understand what actually makes a boomer shooter good. Play some of the newly added episodes from the id games you already own instead.
Absolutely amazing boomer-shooters. Interesting maps, strength mechanic is pretty fun. Fights are fast paced and even the mandatory arena sections don't feel like that much of a slow down. 9/10.
A throwback to the cheaper Doom progeny. Muddled, lacks variety, no fresh ideas. Whosoever worked on the obligatory platforming should be purged. Wouldn't recommend unless you're all played out on the better WH40k shooters.
챕터2 보스전까지 존나 지루하다가 챕터2 보스에서 갑자기 난이도 존나 오름 회복수단이라고는 맵에 있는 회복템뿐인데 개초딩 존나 튼튼한 돌진몹에 눈마주치면 무조건 맞추는 레이저쏘는 씨발 원거리몹에 뭔가 패링이나 가드같은 방어수단이 있는것도 아니고 개틀딱 fps따와서 총쏘기밖에 없고 불합리하게밖에 안느껴짐 씨발 내 총은 몇십발은 박아야하는 물총인데 탄소모 존나시키는 몹 기믹은 존나 많고 개지랄임 후반에 어떻게 난이도를 끌어올리냐면 존나 좁은데에 몹 때려박고 힐팩은 없고 탄도 제한적으로 만들고 잘해봐ㅋㅋㅋㅇㅈㄹ임
