Really nice. But damn, no custom content. That horde mode is absolutely needed though in the future. Like how doom eternal and postal brain damaged added it post release.

How am I still the only comment? This should be alarming to you guys btw. But on a positive note 8-10 hours is a long playtime. I hope that isn't 100% time but just means campaign is long af.

Are parts of Boltgun available to modify? For example, if I think the Cultists-bolter shots are too slow, are the attributes exposed via configuration file or other means to make their bolts move faster?

This.

Are you able to say if it will not run on Steam Deck, or you're just not putting any effort in yet to confirm that it runs in the proper resolution etc?

Between the price, the lack of multiplayer support and Steam Deck support, I think you lost out on a few demographics.

Enemies are not active!
Most of the time, enemies just stand still and wait to be killed. I hope that in the release version of the game they will be more active - move more, chase the player, use their unique abilities, and so on.

Perhaps it will depend on the difficulty level - the higher the difficulty, the more active and aggressive the enemies. In my opinion it will be better.

i think thats just the tracer but the projectiles themselves are quicker but the boltgun IS supposed to have slow projectiles anyways

Did you show Focus/GW your sequel to space marine and they liked it but told you a sequel was already being made or were you asked to make a intervening game to the series?

[Aya]

No mentions of a demo on the FAQ despite people asking for one?

[sir_whirlwind]

The lack of co-op mode is a deal breaker for me. And having no Steam Deck support isn't great either.

[(deactivated)]

to be honest, this is not mutch content for the price they are chargeing

[Sam]

ultrawide 4k supported?
