GAMEPLAY

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is a single-player first-person shooter in which the player controls a Space Marine battling against Chaos Space Marines and Chaos daemons. Its gameplay and artistic style are heavily influenced by first-person shooters from the 1990’s such as Doom with some promotional material referring to the game as a “boomer shooter”, but the developers have highlighted their inclusion of modern gaming features like the use of modern enemy behavior AI.

STORY

Taking place on the Forge World Graia several years after the events of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, the player takes the role of Malum Caedo, a Sternguard Veteran Space Marine of the Ultramarines Chapter sent by the Inquisition to Graia on a mission of great importance. Since the Ork and Chaos invasions from years before, the Inquisition has kept Graia closely watched for further threats. Inquisitor Seibel of the Ordo Malleus reveals that rogue Techpriests of Graia have experimented with the remains of the late Inquisitor Drogan’s Power Source, and the experiments have resulted in the opening of a warp rift that has allowed the Forces of Chaos to once again invade the Forge World.

Malum Caedo and his squad are tasked with retrieving the Power Source with the aid of a Servo Skull belonging to Drogan. When the Ultramarines make planetfall, their drop pod is severely damaged during the descent and crash land on the planet’s surface, leaving only Malum Caedo as the sole survivor. As Malum fights his way through the Chaos Forces, it is discovered that the enemy’s leader, a Chaos Sorcerer known as Tumulus Samael, seeks the power source for his nefarious plans. The sorcerer has already managed to obtain information on the location of the power source fragment and Malum races to stop him.

When Malum reaches the vault containing the power source, Tumulus Samael appears and gloats that he has already taken the power source. The sorcerer and his minions attack the orbital space station above Graia and use the power source to enlarge the warp rift that threatens to engulf Graia and the entire sector. Malum fights his way through the space station before finally reaching Tumulus Samael, and after a grueling fight, manages to slay the sorcerer. Inquisitor Seibel arrives and retrieves the power source. Without the power source, the warp rift begins to close, but Inquisitor Seibel warns that there are still many chaos forces left on Graia, and Malum Caedo prepares for the trials he has yet to face.
