[H3] A brilliant first impression paves the way for a repetitive grind that seemingly never ends. [/h3] Opinions are divided on Boltgun online, but when you first boot-up the game you’ll probably think “Hey, this is pretty good!”. The art design is gorgeous and feels like a remaster of [i]Squad Command[/i], the outrageously underrated PSP tactics game. The huge number of detailed, handcrafted assets build out the world, and the environments change colour regularly to keep things visually fresh. One of my favourite visual details is the idle animation: where your Space Marine character will pull out his Codex Astartes, a mix between the bible and The Art of War, and begins flipping through the pages. The very first weapon - the titular Boltgun - feels like it could punch a hole through a shipping container. Ammo is plentiful and many enemies will simply explode the moment a bullet touches them. The controls are tight too, despite commanding the space hulk, much like driving a high powered supercar. The look and feel of Boltgun is absolutely spot on. Sadly, the tedium begins to set in before the first chapter is over. There are [i]hundreds[/i] of enemies crammed into each level, and fighting them isn’t particularly engaging. Enemies will either blow up into red mist immediately upon touching you, or take enough boltgun bullets to maim a horse. Bullet sponge enemies get increasingly tiresome as the game throws more and more at you, making each corridor last longer than the previous, slowing the pacing to a crawl. By chapter 2 it seemed unfeasible to even attempt killing every enemy in a level, and I just began sprinting through each stage only shooting what I needed to progress. Enemies aren’t placed in interesting positions - just spammed everywhere. This lack of intentionality is most keenly felt in the level design. Boltgun’s levels feel like a handful of assets thrown into a blender and the end result emptied onto a 2D map. Barrels are randomly placed in corners of the map, there are very few puzzles at all, and secrets are indistinguishable from regular armour and weapon pick-ups that you’ll encounter naturally. There’s also no downtime either - it’s constant waves of enemies until you’re onto the next. Every level, stage and chapter is too long for its own good, and everything is cluttered with [i]things[/i] for things-sake. Boltgun is a good first draft of a game. The artists have done a fantastic job building the W40K universe and, mechanically, Boltgun is sound. Serious work needs to be done on the pacing and mission variety, however, if the sequel is to interest me. We need lower enemy counts, more interesting level design, and the introduction of meaningful downtime to create the game this ought to be.
