Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun

If you're a fan of DOOM and Warhammer 40k then this is the perfect game for you! For the Emperor!

I think I can only recommend this game if you're a fan of both boomer shooters and 40K. For better and for worse, I am a fan of both of these things. Completed on hard difficulty. I agree with what other people are saying that it goes on for too long, I haven't played it on Easy/Normal, but I feel like it would've been more fun if the enemies weren't as spongey as they are. I feel this is exacerbated by the 'weapon strength' system. The strength of the weapon (3-7) doesn't actually indicate the damage it does, just the resistance modifier it has on enemies. It took me a bit too long to figure this out, and as a consequence, I wasn't using the appropriate tool for the job sometimes. Even when I had figured it out though, I felt as though most enemies would tank too much damage, this especially goes for the plague toads and screamers. Don't even get me started on the aspiring champions that sprint at you at mach ♥♥♥♥ and would make me audibly yell in surprise at times. Melee enemies especially seem to have a large hitbox when they swipe at you, it's just a bit much combined with the above. Enemies can also be hard to see at times, and often blend in with the environment around them. I'm not sure if it's the off colour banding that I had, the low render resolution aesthetic, or a mix of multiple factors, but sometimes I would often get surprise pelted from an enemy I hadn't seen. This is really bad in the final boss fight, as I spent a lot of the time in the chaos going "WHERE THE ♥♥♥♥ IS HE!?" as I'm running in circles with a conga line of horrors behind me. The performance is surprisingly not great either. Not to flex, but my PC isn't a slouch and I often experienced quite a few frame spikes that were distracting, and in big fights I could really feel them hit more frequently, plus frame rate slowdown. The spikes were especially bad in Death is Honour and Sanctum Manufactorum. The third chapter also likes to do cheesy enemy placement, lots of enemies hiding behind doors and in corners and springing them out right in front of you. Felt cheap at the end and I'm glad it's over. Something I did actually like however was the taunting. More games need a 'chat ♥♥♥♥' button. I just wish it had some mechanical use, like if you taunt an enemy they become more aggressive, but then they drop more health/ammo. There is also a lot to like in this game. It's a soft sequel to Space Marine from 2011, and the environments and aesthetics are very true to 40K. I love that your character walks with great big thumps, and how everything is a gothic cathedral. Guns feel punchy (even if they don't do a lot of damage) and the gore and flow is really good. I just don't know if that's enough to save it if you're not really into this specific thing as I said at the start.

How to fully enjoy Boltgun ---------------------------- 1. Settings as follows: Chainsword Cutting Mode to No Input (Automatic) | Automatically chainswords enemies when you click instead of holding. Toggle Run on | Click Shift at the start of every mission to zoom around. Toggle Navigation Guide to on | Boltgun's navigation is not it's best. This allows you to toggle the guide. Auto Switch Weapons to off | Stops the switch to boltgun when you run out of ammo and helps switching to weaposn you want to use. 2. Set difficulty to Low. No seriously, this makes the difficulty spikes tolerable while making you feel like an actual Space Machine. With Toggle Run and Toggle Navigation Guide on you'll zoom through levels demolishing the heretical forces while knowing where you're going. 3. Ignore secrets and find them naturally. They're only power ups and having the difficulty low means you don't need them. 4. The combinations above allows you to enjoy the game as a whole. The Chainsword and Charge becomes viable without worrying about loss of health, and Low Difficulty reduces the "Random Bull**** Go" meme level of enemies thrown at you in later levels. And this is from someone who sets boomer shooters to max difficulty.

O jogo é muito divertido, mas extremamente repetitivo (e a shotgun desse jogo é uma merda). O sistema de força das armas até tenta tirar a repetitividade do jogo, mas só deixa mais irritante, porque te obriga a usar armas e combos específicos nos inimigos, sem te deixar ser criativo com as armas, e isso só deixa o jogo chato mesmo... No momento da análise, eu não consegui terminar o jogo, eu fiquei cansado muito rápido

I wish I would have bought sooner. This is awesome. While Space Marine is awesome. This is like bar none. everything is great about this game. The feel of the guns, to the feel of you tromping around and jumping. you really feel like a space marine.

Bueno que decir, es un muy buen boomer shooter o retro FPS como le quieran decir, lo que mas destaca es el disenio de niveles.

is fun
