Boltgun is not hard.

Full disclosure, I completed this on normal difficulty; not too hard, not too easy. I see a lot of complaints on Plebbit and other sites that it's hard even on normal, which is genuinely nonsense.

Boltgun was one of a spate of games in the boomer shooter genre that came out in the same timeframe, and therein lies the secret. This isn't an ultra-tactical battlefight shooter. If you take it super slow and screw around there are points where the game will paddle your ass raw. Keep moving. Take resources. Reload. Shoot, shoot, shoot again. Occasionally enemies will get close, so punish them with your chainsword and keep going. If you stand around you'll get overwhelmed. Every fortification is temporary. You are the Emperor's Angel of Death, and you need no such things for long.

It's exciting and action-packed. If you like boomer shooters, I highly recommend this one.

Word of advice: gib enemy corpses if you can. Champions can't revive if they're dismembered and Pink Horrors also can't divide if they're dismembered. There is never too much violence.
