14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 30: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Ce jeu n'est pas moyen, il est médiocre. Ce qui est bien : les graphismes, l'ambiance plutôt réussie, les mouvements du personnage sont cools. Le reste est mauvais : - Le level design est généralement mauvais. Une succession de couloirs intintéressants conduisant à des arènes qui trouvent le moyen, en plus, d'être confus. Quelques environnements sont sympathiques. - Les armes sont une catastrophe. Les bolters sont bons, le fusil à pompe est nul, le fusil à plasma est inutilisable et à la fois trop faible contre les ennemis et trop dangereux pour soi, trop lent aussi etc. - Les ennemis se divisent entre petites crottes fragiles qui ne servent à rien à sacs à PV insupportables. L'IA est inintéressantes, et certtains ennemis rageants ( mention speciale au space marine du chaos qui fonce tout droit sur nous à une vitesse supérieure à la notre, fait des dégâts délirants, est un sac à pv et ressuscite une fois sur deux ). Au final, ce jeu ne vaut pas le coup. Y'a beaucoup mieux ailleurs, de loin. Pas la peine de perdre du temps avec,
Absolutely amazing game! It's a great homage to the FPS games of old like DOOM or Quake, but with updated gameplay mechanics and graphics. It has a good story that fits in between Space Marine and Space Marine 2. Overall super fun and I highly recommend, 10/10.
也就是战锤玩家会给你好评了 真的是一坨大的还卖90块钱 游戏套个像素纸片人就敢说自己是复古射击游戏 你玩过复古射击游戏吗 没有好的思路就敢做出来这一坨 复古射击这个圈子里有你出现真的是丢大人了 关卡没有新颖的地方就是纯堆怪和各种守关 能不能把复古射击这个标签删掉 纯垃圾
I've grown a 3rd ball cuz this game just pumped me full of testosterone

Por el Emperador y todos sus hijos amen.
Boltgun is an amazing, fast-paced, and brutal old-school shooter that perfectly captures the grimdark atmosphere of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It plays similarly to Doom but strips away gimmicky ammo-restock mechanics—you just grab your guns and mow down everything in sight. While the pixel art looks great, if this game had the modern graphics of Space Marine 2, it would easily be a mainstream blockbuster. The level design starts a bit confusing in Chapter 1, but the layout drastically improves by Chapter 2, and Chapter 3 runs completely smoothly. If you do get turned around, the built-in map assist (just press "N") guides you directly to the next objective, completely eliminating any real complaints about navigation. The Chapter 4 DLC (Forges of Corruption) is a fantastic addition! The levels are beautiful, visually varied, and neatly wrap up the game's story arc with a nice little twist at the end. If you are a 40k fan who enjoys boomer shooters and can appreciate retro pixel graphics, this is a must-buy. It’s on the shorter side, making it the perfect game to pick up on sale for an action-packed weekend. 8/10 — Would Exterminatus again!
