Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is slated for a 2026 release, but this hasn’t prevented developers Auroch Digital from hyping up that already highly-anticipated release with a freely-available but unconventional on-rails shooter called Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Words of Vengeance.
Words of Vengeance looks like the original Boltgun, but in this game, you get to smite enemies of the Emperor by typing! Gamers around my age would recognize that this gameplay is reminiscent of the old SEGA title, Typing of the Dead. Words of Vengeance is quite short (about 12 minutes), not surprising given that it is a free game, but there’s a hook in which you’ll want to see whether your typing speed has improved after several runs where you can set the level of difficult.
I played the game earlier this evening and had a blast but I must say that I was using a Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition TKL which is very twitchy and isn’t my main typing keyboard. That honor rests on the Royal Kludge H81 on my office desk. My other keyboard, the Logitech G610 is on long-term loan to my brother. Check out the video below!
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is available to be wishlist on Steam over here, while you can grab Words of Vengeance for free on Steam over here.
