- Check out Warhammer 40K: Boltgun at bit.ly/41sNtb0 (sponsored by Focus Entertainment) ~ Warhammer 40K is a universe that has always fascinated me. It's so dark and visceral that you can barely look away. That's why games like Space Hulk, Deathwing and Space Marine have always drawn me in. So imagine my delight when Focus Entertainment told me that they were bringing out a Warhammer 40K Space Marine BOOMER Shooter, and that I could review it. Well, that's what we're here for; Warhammer 40: Boltgun. Let's get into it! #boltgun-thegame #ad #warhammer

Boltgun makes me wish Totalbiscuit was still alive. He would’ve been on Cloud 9 at the news of a WH40K boomer shooter. John, I hope you got Steam in heaven.
He is for sure sorely missed.
That game and Stormgate he would be hyped about
Absolutely.
Totalbiscuit would have hated the game for its aweful gameplay.
@@SxSxG666 Sounds like something a Chaos loving heretic would say 🤔
The "rubber lips" thing is a dos box emulation problem. Didn't happen on an actual 486 with dos.
That’s true, how are you doing?
Why do so many reviewers ignore the Gun Strength versus enemy Toughness mechanic? If you have a toughness 5 enemy, you should be using a weapon with 5 or more strength. You can see in the Enemy overlay their toughness and an icon whether your equipped weapon is suitable. You also hear an armour sound if your weapon is too weak. Its a really good mechanic.
Hello
It's pretty easy to forget when you're in an arena getting absolutely tanked from all sides. I tried to play tactically with it before giving up and just focus on shooting.
It might be the drink talking (and the fact that I just beat HROT), but that Berlin Wall line really hit me in the feels.
The “feels”…smfh…why does every “grown “ man talk like a 14 yr old female? Shits embarrassing
This game is fantastic. Been playing it every night since launch and I haven't sat down and really played a game for over a year. Great to see you making a video about it!
I'm glad you can turn off headbobbing. It doesn't make me sick, but I don't experience that effect in real life. My brain just filters it out. WHich makes it very uncomfortable for me in games when I cant tun it off. It's kinda eldrich and unreal to me.
I thought I was the only one who doesn't experience head bobbing in real life. Thank you!
Motion blur is another one I always turn off. Our eyes aren't cameras.
This is just an infomercial
Yup didnt even properly disclose that this is an advertisement in the video, just underneath in the description. Pretty deceptive tbh.
This takes me back to the past, when things really didn't suck ass. This game feels like a polished Gzdoom mod, it's wonderful. The lack of 40k themed fps games in the late 90's and early 00's was always puzzling. It has always been the perfect setting for one.
You mean when brainwashed leftist commie lunatics didn’t try and ruin everything with their mentally ill horse shit?
Seems reasonably priced for some good old fashioned WH40K action.
$60 to $80 for sequels and remakes with gambling mechanics.
What's not to love? 🤣
Just downloaded it last week and I instantly fell in love it. Waves of nostalgia from my youth were rekindled because of Warhammer 40k: Boltgun.
Only downside to Boltgun's big levels and variety of routes is there are a couple of areas where you've killed everything but are just left wondering where the hell you have to go. I had to watch a playthrough of a bit of chapter one because I couldn't find the exit and spent ages running around looking for it. A map would have been useful, even Doom had a map in the 90's!
Other than that I can't recommend it enough, I'm really enjoying it and I wasn't even much of a Doom fan back in the day. Oh, and it was Genestealers you were fighting in Space Hulk, not Chaos.
It’s a brilliant game, but it could do with a map, I find I’m wandering about a lot looking for the next area / exit.
I never had that problem but im very good with memorizing visual topography, is it really that bad ? Or hard ?
@@bomnitoperro9422 it’s maybe me, I sometimes needs clear sign posting as I take a lot of painkillers 😂
It can be a bit mazey... nothing like doom though... old school doom
@@McRcFly Doom had a pretty decent map though, and it couldn’t have rooms above rooms so it was simple to follow.
@@PikaStu666 true but some levels in the old doom games were pretty tricky also throw in the teleport puzzles.
"I do love a good power fist". I'll bet!
It’s a great retro shooter, only down side is the A.I are bullet sponges and don’t really move.
I mean, if you're a bullet sponge, would you bother to move much?
@@georgeoldsterd8994 Probably not but takes away the challenge.
@@BitmapspritepaulAre the higher difficulty levels just more critters with more hp?
@@VikingTeddy I’d imagine so, like I said it’s a solid game on the whole. Maybe more enemy strafing would be nice 👍🏻
I might have missed something but you didnt rev the chainsword during your attacks the whole video, this one one of my fave things about this game. Sure it left you open but for finishing off the last target in a group/room it was an excellent way to save some ammo. Did you not like it?
He used it once that I seen around 10:30
You didnt really disclose this was an advertisement In the video, only the description
So the games developer sponsored this video. I think ill go look at independent reviews.
the most fun game ive played in years, it feels like playing Doom again for the first time.
"You invoke my ire, filth" i do feel like that sometimes
The soundtrack of Boltgun reminded me of the legendary game Soul Reaver. No guitars, but 'Eavy Metal as hell!
Dropping down on a group of nurglings, stomping them to absolute mush? Great.
Using dash when there is a wall and between you and it there is a cultust... Lovely.
And smacking that chainsword button to chew through chaos marines... Sweet.
happy to see you had a BLAST and had the shotgun shot in sync, thank you :3
Boltgun is canonically a sequel to Space Marine. It literally takes place on the same planet SM took place on. Grimskull's war is mentioned in the intro, and one of the taunts mentions Captain Titus.
1:00 "But this..." proceeds to show footage of being *nearly stationary* in a boomer shooter where you can run *60mph and jump 3 stories...* HERESY!
Yeah, I agree that damage feedback needs fixed... but hauling ass is what you already should be doing *at all times.*
Whilst I draw breath, I stand. Whilst I stand, I fight. Whilst I fight, I prevail!
Looks like a fun 40k FPS in doom style ! But a space hulk for DOS is not a good comparison. the tactical cameras with gene stealers jumping at you around the corners in the original, picking off your team one by one, with claustrophobic atmosphere is unique. Thanks for a great sponsored video, looks very fun!
He's not making a comparison. He's saying since playing Space Hulk he's wanted this game and now he finally has it.
Dunno.
Unless I am in a near panic my gun is going to jam at any minute or I've accepted I'm probably going to die where I stand for wandering into the wrong place, and agonizingly start a laborious retreat; it's not really Space Hulk to me.
Very pretty though.
Got this game a couple days ago, Started on Exterminatus… Been smooth sailing. Games not too hard but certainly challenging in some areas. First time I’ve played an old game like this. I’m 19 and haven’t tried anything like it. Very fun in my opinion. I’d give it a 9/10. I’d rate it higher if they had a circular deadzone for controllers instead of the old square stile. As a circular deadzone makes aiming more fluid and natural.
I've been playing this game for a few days now. I have to agree with you. This game is fantastic. I'm loving it, and it is so much fun.
*DEPTH FOR THE EMPEROR!*
Keeping with my "If you start uploading shorts, I unsubscribe" policy, So long and thanks for all the fish!
3:10 OK, I *love* that the intro sequence is styled to look like an early-90s DOS game intro. That's great attention to detail.
*plays Boltgun*
Chaos Marine: "Noooo, you can't destroy thousands of heretics by yourself!"
Space Marine: "Ha-ha! Bolter goes Ra-ta-ta-ta"
I wasn't expecting to see you doing a game review, especially of a modern game, even if it does have a 90's nostalgia look, but I'm glad you did. Hopefully I'll get to play it one day, just have to wait until they sell it outside of Steam, and possibly open source it.
This is completely disrespectful to the lore! Nobody had to thump the hololith in the opening cutscene to make it focus!
I agree that this game was all kinds of fun. Medium was perfect for me, challenging at times but never frustrating. You can’t really complain for 17 quid. Took me back to playing Doom on the office pc back in the 90s.
Classic visuals = we hired two guys to make a duke nukem mod.
Looks brilliant, loads of attention to detail for 40k. I do feel sorry for the Nurgle Daemons though...ahhh.
Haven’t these games all essentially been the same since Quake in mid 90’s? Craving for some real early 90’s diversity and creativity in gaming.
Plague toads, the Varta batteries of 40K.
Nothing to do with this video. Just watched you on retro electro workshop! That’s gotta be an awesome feeling dude! Your on tv!!! 😊 congrats man.
Rise of The Triads you said... oh man ,when you uttered that i was slapped with a torrent of memories. From Atari to Amiga to PC to consoles.
Same, forgot it existed until he mentioned it, used to love that!
Hm, they probably should reconsider the term 'Chapter Select', given who we are talking about.
Oh my God, This takes me back. I feel like I'm home again watching this it's somewhere between space hawk and space marine
Right, now I know what I'm downloading this Christmas.
We all know very well the marine is actually Alpharius anyway, not an actual Ultramarine. So there is that.
'Head Bobbing' in the options...giggity.
That's an electronic arts logo I fondly remember
Ah yes. I remember good old Electr Onic Arts from Populous on the mega drive 👍
Nothing like a sponsored review
Glory for UltraMar? They're an ok petrol station, but they don't need glory...
6:10 this gives me rise of the triad vibes for some reason
that title screen/ music menu is fucking sick
Never played or had any interest in Warhammer stuff, however this looks like it could be a good fun game…may have to check it out.
Five hundred people in Ordo Munitorum are crying after seeing you firing all those bolts all over the walls when you first got the bolter.
So it's Brutal Doom with Warhammer voxels, gotcha.
Great game. Grabbed it on PC and Switch. Wish more games did cross save.
Awesome retro looking game! I love pixels and WH40k, win situation for me.
Wasn't sure how this would be but you've showed me it's all I hoped for :) cheers dude
Thank you for the video, even though I already bought the game on Steam a while ago when I saw the very first trailer for it. It's kind of funny that ever since I bought a 4070 Ti all I have played are Brutal Doom variations, Cultic, the Selaco Demo, and now Boltgun. At least all of them run at 120 fps without the graphics card ever turning on its fans.
Selaco and especially Cultic is GOATed ,
you should also try
Prodeus, Incision , Turbo overkill ,
Project warlock 2 ,
there are tons of good modern retro shooters to choose from rn
This video seems to simply be an ad :(
It is. Look at the hashtags. Still it's a good ad and doesn't feel disingenuous.
@@DeltaNovum Maybe so. He does strike me as a good speaker, so I suppose he can sell anything if he wants.
"I picked medium difficulty. Which is a wise choice, because I suck"
0:28 When were Genestealers Chaos
Why is this reminding me of Doom Eternal?
BAD ASS!!!
You're right, why not give us a chapter choice. The first section could have been duking it out with each other as teams until only yourself is left alive and the chaos stuff starts!
It's a great boomer shooter, one of the best games I've played this year. Haven't started on the new System Shock yet, but I expect that could be another contender for game of the year.
The screen being red for half of the time is a dealbreaker for me...
Got it this last week on release day. It's violent, it's brutal, it's messy BUT ITI'S FUN!!!
That looks fun that!
Of course....of freakin *COURSE* it was an Ultramarine.
the dreaded chaos? nope, its genestealers
Its ok, the quake 2 remaster is the real winner
Quake 2 is great
Er, can I have a servitor cleaning crew armed with mops and buckets as there'sa a bit of a mess here (I was provoked or defending myself).
Oh wow, I forgot about Space Hulk. I have it on 3DO 😅
I was confused by your intro. You talked about Space Hulk and wanting to actually play as those terminators. There was a second Space Hulk game released in 2013, with Space Hulk Ascension the next year and Space Hulk Deathwing in 2016. And from what I've seen in your gameplay video, you are not playing as a Terminator.
Brutal Doom 40K edition.
12:43 long advert and no video youtube video??? lol
Sick, a WH40K Game!
Thanks for the review. Have to check it out.
Its a paid ad from the game developer, not really fair to call it a review imo.
This game is still a masterpiece
That looks awesome
It looks sweet, but I want to play as a terminator!!!!!
This... is great... but this... is greatER!
Love this game
games were more fun before the whole on-line, in-game purchase, advertising bs and other stuff ::)
this video is advertising bs lol
I wish they had a great one wit the Tau
I bought the first edition of space hulk from Games Workshop in meadowhall for £10 in about 1993. They had a stack of them all reduced wish I'd have bought all of them!
I hope this game becomes moddable, so that people can add their own maps, enemies, weapons and the like.
Looks fun
Honestly my only problem in this game is the U.I in changing weapons. I wish it had a weapon wheel. That and the level design is not the best. I wiah it had a map because I get lost quite alot. Other than that the game is great! The weapon sounds are literally CRACK!!!
Sweet!!! Glad to hear your wish of 30 years hence is now fulfilled!
Except last levels on the space ship that is more design like a space hulk, game rocks! (Nope I am not a fanboy of the smurfs)
Game is great and all, but really, no multiplayer or lan makes this fall short of 90s awesomeness.
Oh dear Emperor please give us mods for other space marine chapters? Fingers crossed Angry Marines :-)
for the emperor!
Yes. Oh fuck yes!
If only this would have a VR mode. THAT would be brilliant
Funny I also said this game gave me TIE Fighter vibes
This is an advert... To be fair, the game looks good.
Yes, because it's nothing like Space Hulk!
He really needs to disclose that this is an advertisement much more clearly than just a tag underneath the video.
@@jsteezus Remember the anti-virus video he did a while back where he disclosed the sponsorship only in the last 3 seconds (and attacked people for calling him out for it)? Yeah, that whole video was full of garbage info on viruses and really ticked me off.
I'm not sure why I forgot to unsub back then, but... I've taken care of that now.
@@jsteezus he discloses that the video is sponsored 40 seconds into the video...
Battle sister is also a pretty good old school style VR shooter in this universe.
@MrDjBigZ Not sure if you're asking about comfort or what but it has stick locomotion and plays fairly similar to older (maybe early 2000s) first person shooters other than the VR interaction stuff
@MrDjBigZ you should be able to stay in one place if you want to, you can just turn the view with controller to avoid looking behind
Just got it through steam.😊
