Valkia the Bloody Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I am having a blast. Feels very satisfying and finally a game I can run on my lousy old laptop. Burn! Maim! Kill!

Orange Knight Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I have this downloaded on PS5 but have not yet started. Looking forward to spending an evening on this game tomorrow.

Grotsmasha Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I didn't realise this had released, I've just started downloading it now.... BLOODSAINT 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/378730-boltgun/#findComment-5950673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Bought it yesterday as soon as I seen it was released. Great fun, though I'm out of practice on mobility shooters. Haven't had that much time to play, but currenty stuck on the...third purge zone where the greater plague toads spawn? Fun game, but it could do with actually going over the controls in a tutorial. I just learned you can rev the chainsword, and I have no idea why time slows down if you hold L2.

Kastor Krieg Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 If any Frater want to switch your brain off and just relax blasting lots of gribblies away - the Accessibility menu has an Invincibility toggle :) Valkia the Bloody, Xenith, BLOODSAINT and 1 other 1 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/378730-boltgun/#findComment-5950772 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I discovered that on accident last night. Save ammo by slicing through those chaos marines! VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMM VRRRRRMMM!

Kastor Krieg Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 6 hours ago, Xenith said: I have no idea why time slows down if you hold L2 That's because you can then lock onto an enemy (red band around them) and the Marine will charge with the chainsword at them, slicing into them when he arrives. It's actually very good for a tactical breather and as a mobility tool.

appiah4 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 It is basically the flesh hook from Doom Eternal. It adds a lot of mobility to the game.

Marshal Reinhard Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Think im 5-6 levels in now. Level select shows theres 3 chapters so supposedly im not even a third in yet. It feels very generous on how much ammo it gives you, even on the highest difficulty which is very nice as you can mow down most things with your favorite weapon. Loving my time with it and hoping it will be a hit with modders because I can see the game having a very very long lifespan if so.

Grotsmasha Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 So I decided to just have fun and play on the lowest difficulty. I just beat the Lord of Change last night, and am having a great time. I don't know if I'm going to commit to finishing the game on all 4 difficulties, but I'll probably replay to get all the Secrets.

Some of those secrets are really hidden. I've kinda given up on getting them all for now.

Brother Navaer Solaq Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I finished two levels in one sitting. It is truly fun for me. The art style invokes nostalgic memories. Overall, i like the game so far. BLOODSAINT 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/378730-boltgun/#findComment-5951632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burni Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Was thinking of getting this on Xbox Series S. I don't play FPS at all anymore (I think Rainbox Six Vegas on the 360 was the last I played...) So will definitely be putting it into easy mode! I've been known to get a bit of motion sickness with FPS'. Anyone found that a particular issue with this game? Also: anyone played with an Xbox controller? Is the control scheme decent?
