Load up your Boltgun and plunge into battle headfirst! Experience a perfect blend of Warhammer 40,000, classic, frenetic FPS gameplay and the stylish visuals of your favourite 90’s retro shooters.

Play a battle-hardened Space Marine on a perilous mission across the galaxy, as they battle against the Chaos Space Marines and daemons of Chaos.

In glorious boomer shooter style, unleash your devastating Space Marine arsenal as you blast through an explosion of sprites, pixels and blood. Run, jump and charge across huge levels to shoot, shred and slice the worst heretics across the galaxy!

• Dive into a visceral combat experience, complete with viciously satisfying gunplay, high mobility and buckets of blood to reward your skills
• Dominate the battlefield with the awesome firepower and heavy metal of a Space Marine’s devastating arsenal
• Experience the ultimate homage to retro shooters, blending stylish visuals with fluid, modern FPS gameplay

I’m not generally fussed about Wuarammer, but according to Eurogamer this is a sequel to 2011's Space Marine so it most definitely has my attention.

Love these new Retro looking shooters, more than likely will pick up.

Looks cool

where is Darktide Xbox?

I'm all in, baby. Gimme that sweet 90s 40k FPS.

10 year old me would be bouncing off the walls waiting for this.

Only a few days to go :datass:

Reviewing well:

Reads like a 7/10.

Bit pricey for my liking, plus I doubt it's better than Prodeus (on GP btw).

Thank you! I've been trying to remember the name of that game for ages!

That's getting reinstalled later!

Just a heads up, the Switch version seems to be a bit borked from an audio perspective:

Rest of it looks great though.

I've been enjoying this today, feels just like the run and gun shooters of yore. I'm not used to the sprite based enemies, yet - I came into FPS gaming with Quake II and the advent of 3D models and never got into the old Dooms. But, I'm still loving it. More of this sort of thing would be appreciated.

I'm really enjoying this.

This is fudging awesome and so satisfying. They nailed the fluidity and speed of movement and the impactful feel of the guns. Feels like I'm back in the 90s golden age of FPS :datass:

Currently 20% off on Steam, £15.19.

Gonna take a punt for my Deck while I'm off on holiday next week.

I've played on PC and Deck this morning and it does run beautifully on Deck. Did soak up the battery but I had everything on Max.

Excellent fun.

*BUMP FOR THE BUMP GOD*

DLC expansion coming 18th June!

New campaign, two new weapons and new locations and enemies.

I really tried with this game, but I just kept getting lost. At one point I took to following the skull, only to find out 15 minutes later it was following me......

If ever a game didn't have a map but needed one, I would say it's this one. My mate loved it though.

Will definitely pick up the DLC at some point as I absolutely loved this. Blasted through it twice and got all the achievements.

I have a few ~~boomer shooters~~ Doom clones in my Up Next collection though so I can wait for a sale.

Anything specific you're looking forward to?
