Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - Words of Vengeance News

I am the Emperor's weapon (or keyboard)

A Gift From the Emperor 
[p]We're excited to share that we will be releasing a major update for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Words of Vengeance next month.  [/p][p]It’ll be bringing with it new levels, more words, and brand-new mechanics. There’s a lot packed into this one for you to discover and it’ll be releasing next month. [/p][p]So, make sure to brush up on your typing skills in preparation! [/p][p][/p][h2]For the Emperor![/h2][p]Have you been doing the Emperor’s duty and spelling demise for these Daemons? [/p][p]Some dedicated keyboard executioners have been collecting achievements of valor to show their commitment to the Emperor, while others have been racing to prove their loyalty!  [/p][p]We love this community, and it’s been so much fun seeing everything you’ve come up with to celebrate the release of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Words of Vengeance! From speed-running challenges to the best fan videos, and the funniest Steam reviews – we read and watch all of them and can’t wait to see what you have planned next.  [/p][p][/p][h2]Quelling the Confusion [/h2][p]However, recently we’ve noticed a bit of confusion in our reviews around Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun not being the game they expected and that’s because they were playing this game. [/p][p]In case you’re new here, we have another game called Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, where you battle against the Chaos Space Marines and Daemons using the devastating arsenal of a Space Marine.  [/p][p]It’s a boomer shooter in a retro style and is essentially the Warhammer 40,000 shooter we wish existed in the 90’s.  [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]We also have a sequel for Boltgun coming out next year, which will have a wider range of weapons, new environments, new enemies, and if you enjoyed the original Boltgun or this creative spin off we’d love for you to wishlist that game!  [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]But Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Words of Vengeance, the game you’re looking at right now, is not Boltgun.  [/p][p]Instead of slaying heretics with your quick reaction time (although that still plays a role) and precision (ditto), you’re vanquishing foes with the speed of your Words per Minute (WPM). [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Hopefully that clears things up for everyone and we can't wait to share the next update for Words of Vengeance with you next month.  [/p]
