Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun Boom brings the critically acclaimed retro 'boomer shooter' formula to iOS in spectacular, gory fashion. Stepping into the heavy boots of an elite Space Marine, players will rip and tear their way through hordes of Chaos cultists and daemons using an iconic arsenal of Imperium weaponry, notably the devastating Boltgun. The game masterfully blends chunky pixel art with modern fluid animations, offering an incredibly fast-paced, momentum-driven combat experience. Tailored specifically for mobile, the swipe controls ensure you can maintain the aggressive speed required to survive the grim darkness of the far future.

Our Expert Score

92/100

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun Boom beautifully translates the frantic, visceral energy of the acclaimed boomer shooter console and PC release into a highly refined mobile shooter format. Developed by Nitro Games, this premium title successfully preserves the heavy, hard-hitting firearm physics and high-speed momentum that made the original iconic, allowing players to step into the armored boots of a Space Marine against the forces of Chaos.

The visual presentation is an absolute treat for fans of the grimdark universe, capturing retro, chunky pixelated textures alongside fluid animations and explosive particle effects. Mobile optimization is surprisingly robust, offering responsive swipe controls that keep pacing brisk without sacrificing the spatial awareness necessary to survive chaotic, multi-tiered combat arenas. It stands out as an uncompromised, action-dense adaptation that respects its source material.

ADD SURVIVAL/HORDE MODE

Game’s awesome, just needs customizable controls and and a round based survival/horde mode to see how long you can last. Other than those two things it’s worth every cent

Its fun mutilating & flaying heresy but…

Still needs work. Don’t delete the game in hopes that fixing any issues you have will cause you to lose all your progress unfortunately, but my main issue is the DLC the skulls in the 3rd level do not work at all missed two secrets due to this bug. Tried every angle to hit and shoot them but to no avail. Hoping bugs will be removed as updates roll out. Other than that, love this game hope we get more DLCs Ill gladly pay in support.

Awsome 👌

This game is awesome. Too bad the mobile port has the narrowest FOV of ANY fps on mobile that I’ve played, and no way to change it, or anything else that matters really. Super disappointing. Makes it unplayable.

iOS 18.7.8 doesn’t work

Update: well after yet another update, it seems everything is finally working. There's even a tutorial now. Still don't know what "contempt" is in the game though. This all doesn't exactly instill a lot of confidence in me about the dev/game. That said, the game does seem fun - very much like Doom/Quake/Marathon back in the 90s. Geez, I haven't seen such shoddy dev work in a while. First version released was completely the wrong one. At least they quickly released an update to correct that. But even this one is broken. If you fall off the world (which is very easy to do), the game crashes (lol and if you fell off the world in the previous version, you'd fall endlessly). Almost no instructions. No idea what the gun button does, except that if you hold it down, game goes into bullet time and a circle appears over the button with a sort of thumbstick like thing in the middle - maybe for precise aiming, but the background is completely blurred, so aiming would be useless. Plus, pressing the button doesn't fire a gun anyway, so 🤷‍♂️ (maybe I just don't have ammo yet? But I see no ammo count or weapon list, so how would I know?). And then there's the fact that if you follow the guide path to the end inside the building, nothing happens! Only thing in the room is a small pedestal, and standing on it does nothing. So the game doesn't progress. 😒 It's a shame really, because I can see this might be a decent game if it worked. Devs, you really should test your game before releasing it. 🙄 I guess it at least makes the rest of us devs look better.
