Games Workshop's world-famous tabletop wargame Warhammer 40,000 has been adapted into many genres of video games over the years. There have been strategy games that have stayed true to the tabletop game's strategic aspects, like the Dawn of War series and Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. At the same time, others have attempted to use the grim and violent setting to create intense action games like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun falls more into the action-focused category with this take on a first-person shooter. What sets Boltgun apart is that this game evokes the visual aesthetics, gameplay, and tone of classic shooters from the 1990s, such as Duke Nukem 3D and Quake. I was immediately hooked since I love Warhammer 40,000 and DOOM.
