It reminded me of like German World War II bunkers. There's a lot of fascist imagery in war hammer in general. The aesthetic overall which has a very N64 era aesthetic. In some ways the architecture here feels like a like PlayStation one D make of dark. Rusted Moss is like a similar vibe in 2D but in this case obviously it's in 3DWhich is to say there's a roughness to the whole experience that makes it feel like very lived in.
Boltgun is the latest game in the Warhammer 40k universe. But good news: you don't need to know a single thing about Warhammer to enjoy this little surprise. In fact, this new shooter will more likely click with fans of Doom, Quake, and Duke Nukem. We dig into the latest "boomer shooter," and then reminisce about the early days of the FPS. Was Plante accidentally buying pirated games? Can Frush explain shareware? Learn the answers to those questions and more on this week's episode of The Resties.
Discussed on the show: Boltgun, Wolfenstein 3D, Rise of the Triad, Doom, Hexen, Toy Story, Chex Quest, Super Mega Baseball 4, and the NYXI Wizard Wireless Joypad for Switch.
