In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is only gore. That’s according to Warhammer 40K: Boltgun, the upcoming DOOM-inspired first-person shooter that’s coming to PC and consoles later this year.
DOOM is having quite the cultural resurgence at the moment, thanks both to the excellent modern reimaginings of the series, DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, along with a slew of indie titles that harken back to the retro shooters like the original DOOM. These so-called “boomer shooters” include games like Prodeus and Dust, which have taken to aping the graphical style and gameplay of shooters from the DOOM Era, while utilizing modern technology to allow for better animations, more particle effects, and modern gameplay innovations to enhance the experience.
