Boltgun is simultaneously a fun game on its own terms, and a little bit disappointing as a fan of the original Doom. Essentially this is Doom 2016 with a graphical gimmick. There's nothing wrong with that - Doom 2016 was a great game - but what I want from a retro-shooter is for it to use all that processing power it's saving for other things. This is still fundamentally quite a linear game, with most of the encounters and fights being relatively tightly choreographed. I was hoping for a bit more of an organic experience, particularly in the map design: I don't see the point of structuring levels around key hunts while providing a glowing line that leads straight to the key! Just provide me with a map and let me feel like I'm working it out on my own. But taken purely on it's own terms, it's a good fun, fast-paced game with some very satisfying combat.
This is a tricky one to review since I was really hating this game until I stopped playing how I wanted to and started playing how it wanted me to. Let me explain. This game is very much more Nu-Doom than classic Doom. There are tons of lock-in arenas, weapon swapping for different enemies is crucial, and you will take tons of damage and heal your way out of it. If you vastly prefer the old-school way of success meaning avoiding damage altogether, you will need to change the way you play or this game will be equal parts frustrating and boring. It is possible to hang back and avoid damage some of the time, but it's boring to do so. The game really wants you to get into the fray and trade health with enemies. Luckily, there are often like 800 points of healing scattered around arenas, so as long as you survive, you're good. You really will take a butt-load of damage (at least on hard). Some objectively bad things, though: Stop taking away my health/armor every level. Stop taking away all my guns/ammo after episodes since they're played back-to-back with no breaks. Enemies doing damage before their attack animations is just lazy programming. Not being able to shoot through enemy corpses while enemies can is cheap. Repeatedly putting damage powerups at the end of combat arenas is infuriating. The chainsword needs to give health/armor back or it's useless against 98% of enemies. The "damage location" feedback is useless and should be where I'm getting shot FROM, not where on my body I was hit. Enemy visibility from a distance is TERRIBLE. Weak little one-shot enemies should really not be able to do 120 points of damage in one shot... There are more, but those are my big complaints. Otherwise, the graphics are thematic and well-done, action is fast-paced and frantic, the weapons for the most part are satisfying, the levels can be confusing but there's a little servoskull navigation guide (USE IT), the music is forgettable but fits the purpose, and I was having fun by the end of it. If you're more the hang-back-and-avoid-damage type of boomer shooter fan, then I highly recommend you do not play on higher difficulties at first. The game makes a great introduction but starts to get frustrating, and it'll be way worse if you're being forced to adjust playstyles while the game feels like it's actively punishing you for doing so. I do recommend this game, but it's flawed, and you do have to meet it halfway.
Simple but really fun shooter. I had a great time with it. It reminds me a lot of the games I used to play when I was younger. Just jump in, grab a weapon, and start blasting enemies. No complicated systems, no huge cutscenes every five minutes, just straightforward action. I kind of miss that style of game. Back in the day you’d just start the game and be playing within seconds. Playing this honestly brought back some memories of the early 2000s when shooters were all about fast gameplay and figuring things out yourself. Running around the levels, looking for secrets, managing ammo, and trying not to get destroyed by a room full of enemies. It’s simple, but in a good way. A lot of modern games try to be huge cinematic experiences with tons of mechanics and menus. This game feels more like those older shooters where the focus was just on gameplay and having fun. You move fast, the weapons feel good, and the whole thing has that classic arcade-like feeling. It also gave me a bit of nostalgia for the times when I would sit behind the computer for hours after school, playing shooters and trying to beat levels or find hidden areas. Nothing fancy, just pure gaming. Definitely recommend it if you like boomer shooters. And especially if you were born before 2000, I’m pretty sure this will hit you with some nostalgia for the good old days of PC shooters.
