Over 40 characters and 75 weapons, with gold carried into later runs
Steam's store page sells the game as “frenetic bullet heaven survival in a grim dark setting.” You pick one of more than 40 characters from the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes, and each “comes with unique weapons and starting stats – no two survivors play the same.” You survive waves of enemies, mix weapons with power-ups to evolve them, and collect gold to grow stronger in future runs. Warhammer paint pots found on the battlefield unlock new character forms and secrets.
The page says stages range from “the open and ashen plains of Aqshy to the tight and confined corridors of an abandoned Space Hulk,” each with its own enemy faction. It lists more than 75 weapons, including the Boltgun, the Astartes Chainsword, Whirlwind Axes and a pot of Nuln Oil, plus Tyranid and Skaven enemies and bosses such as Ghazghkull Thraka. Steam tags it as single-player with full controller support and a keyboard-only option. For more on the studio's other Warhammer game, see our Boltgun 2 release article.
Auroch has not given a date for post-launch content
In its November 10 launch post, Auroch said it would “love to keep the bullet hell chaos coming with the introduction of new champions, weapons and enemy hordes,” but that it first wants to take in the community's reactions. It added: “Watch this space for post-launch news soon!” The studio has not announced what the content will be or when it will arrive.
