What the critics say
Jon Bolding – IGN
“Boltgun impresses with Warhammer 40K chops and a fully realised vision of the famous franchise as a modern retro-shooter, light on story but heavy on action and nods to the tabletop game. The level design of its many fast-paced arena fights is enjoyable, but the momentum drags once the new weapon and enemy types run out about halfway through. Nonetheless, the quality’s high enough that I never got bored – but I think someone who isn’t hungry for a retro-shooter or any 40K game they can get their hands on might be a bit let down.”
VERDICT – 7 / 10
Richard Wakeling – GameSpot
“Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is an extremely fun game with a contagious reverence for classic ’90s shooters and the Warhammer universe at large. Its entire arsenal of flesh-combusting weapons is a joy to use, and its simple gameplay loop is kept fresh by a steady supply of new armaments and enemy types to squash under the almighty boot of the Imperium. It’s not trying to revolutionise the genre and that’s perfectly fine; it’s the type of game to hire avid Warhammer fan Rahul Kohli (Gears of War 5, Midnight Mass) to voice its protagonist, only to make him exceptionally easy to miss unless you stumble upon the “Taunt” button. There aren’t any gameplay advantages to hitting this button, but you do get to hear Kohli relish in delivering some Space Marine-appropriate lines as he nails the angry, regal tone. That’s almost worth the price of admission alone.”
VERDICT – 8 / 10
Rick Lane – EuroGamer
“If you want to make a big ol’ mess with one excellent gun and several other decent ones, Boltgun satisfies this desire. A few design tweaks and a little more attention to detail would elevate it from a good shooter into a great one, but as a throwback starter course to the hotly anticipated main that is Space Marine 2, Boltgun does an acceptable job of stimulating the tastebuds.”
VERDICT – 3 / 5
Dalton Cooper – GameRant
“Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is polished and runs perfect, with fast-paced and exciting combat. Gamers that grew up playing 90s FPS games will get a kick out of how much it borrows from Doom, Quake, and the like, but many will tire of the archaic design choices that have been abandoned by modern games. Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun represents the best and worst of 90s-era FPS games, so while it has a solid foundation, it fails to deliver truly compelling content to go with it, making the game difficult to recommend to anyone that’s not a hardcore Warhammer fan or who isn’t desperately nostalgic for the 90s.”
VERDICT – 2.5 / 5
Noah Smith – PC Gamer
“Boltgun had won me over early on with an arena battle in a wide-open loading bay surrounded by gothic spires, the words “PURGE!” flashing across the screen in blood red. With full health and little ammo, I had to face down the mutant mob ahead with only my chainsword and shotgun. I died more than a few times, but the final gouging of my blade into a Chosen of Chaos really did bring back two of my favourite gaming memories—my first time clearing “Dead Simple” on Nightmare difficulty in Doom 2, and wiping my friend Adam’s left flank off the table at my local gaming store.”
VERDICT – 85 / 100
Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun has definitely impressed the gaming community with its unique storyline, amazing graphics, and engaging gameplay. With numerous positive reviews from experts, it’s no surprise that the game is gaining popularity among gamers.
