Oh boy, this game looks and feels like an overpriced school project. First problem I ran into is that the game wants to go fullscreen , but it scale the resolution wrong sense I have my TV hooked as a second monitor and you CANNOT change resolution or go windowed mode. Then the game itself would have been ok if not for being unbalanced , enemies are tanky and you don't deal that much damage. You lose XP and all none equiped items if you die. I only felt like the game was ok when I was some levels above the enemies. I cannot recommend this game for such a price and even if the price went lower I would say that it hard to recommend.

I had tried the game once, didn't really enjoy it, then forgot about it for two years. I just decided to try the game again, figuring maybe it could be fun and it just didn't click the first time. I tried 3 separate times to get into the game, all 3 times I got stuck in an infinite loading screen and couldn't even get into the tutorial. Sandbox and story mode did not work either. The game is literally unplayable. In my frustration in just trying to get the game to start at all, I remembered why I didn't enjoy it. In the tutorial the voice of the AI was extremely annoying, not only having an annoying sound just in general but also having absolutely awful voice acting that constantly made me want to just close the game and play literally anything else instead of listening to it. The controls are extremely bad and clumsy, if I recall correctly the reload button was H. (Why?) I remember the combat also feeling very clumsy and terrible. The developer claims that the world of the game is extremely large and procedurally generated. Yet they also say that it's just the same world every time, which kinda negates the point of procedural generation, even if it [i]is[/i] as large as they …

Nice game geting influences from roguelike such as Dwarf Fortress (adventure mode), with craft and even bullet hell moments. it have nice 2d topdown grafics, with beutifull tileset. Consider this game a topdown terraria with scifi theme.

This is terrible.

Really unique, like a modern Notrium mixed with the 3089 game series. The AI companion is very informative and unexpectedly high quality for an indie game. There's multiplayer. An improvement I would like to see: Gun UI in inventory is difficult to click and drag guns as you have to click the item outline not the box

Won't regret it.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
