Good old fashion shooter, reminds when games where made to just be fun not second jobs.

Feb. 2026

You pull the trigger heresy explodes. You stop moving you die. You think you’re done the game spawns 20 more cultists. It looks like Doom had a baby with Warhammer 40K and raised it on pure rage. The bolter feels illegal, the soundtrack hates silence, and subtlety was executed for heresy. You don’t play Boltgun to take cover. You play it to erase everything on screen in the name of the Emperor. Final score: Gun feel: 11/10 Movement: never stop Enemy count: excessive (good) Lore accuracy: PURGE APPROVED Still playing? Yes. Because mercy is heresy. 🔥⚔️

Only 12.5% of the people that own this game have completed it. And that reason is the lack of a soundtrack and the lack of enemy variety. If you've played the first hour, you've seen all you have to see of the game. But...it's still a good game. Even better if you lap Doom's 2016 soundtrack over it.

May 2025

The visuals imply the game is similar to Doom 1993, but really it is more alike to Doom 2016. Boltgun is focused on arena combat, with an emphasis on movement and rapid weapon swapping, interspersed with light exploration. The weapons are all useful, and the enemies varied; the audio hits hard, and it never gets old seeing the pixels explode into bloody bits. However, the game runs low on steam in the back third where it fails to introduce any meaningful additions, aside from cranking up the enemy numbers. Take breaks to avoid repetition setting in.

You can pet dogs in this game. They are not good dogs and will try to lick you all the time, so they need to be pet with a chainsword.
