As a lone Space Marine, you fight against the hordes of Chaos in Warhammer 40K: Boltgun.
Space Marine 2 is currently a modern third-person shooter for co-op fans. But if you want to take down even more of the Emperor’s enemies and have a thing for the retro look of the 90s, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun might be just the thing for you.

Although Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun calls itself a “boomer shooter,” you don’t have to count yourself among that age group.
However, you must be at least 16 years old; the age rating is not least due to the large amount of pixel blood. It flows in streams, for example when you drag a heretic through the body with a chainsword.
In addition to the new weapons, Boltgun no progression system in the form of upgrades or skills, as in more modern representatives of the genre. This is in the style of a shooter, but you should take it into account when making a decision if something like this is important to you as motivation for playing.

Boltgun is a retro shooter without much fanfare, which 91 percent of players on Steam like. If you are looking for a more visually modern Warhammer game, however, you are better off with Space Marine 2. It can also be played in co-op. But in both cases, the duty of a Space Marine only ends with death.
