There are dozens of games about Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 on Steam – Here are the 5 best

The various worlds of Warhammer have now spawned dozens of video games on various platforms. MeinMMO gives you an overview of the currently best ones that you can play on Steam.

What kind of games are these? Here you will find games officially belonging to the Warhammer franchise on Steam. Warhammer originally started as a tabletop, which over the years has developed into a whole world.

The video games were long known for not having the best quality in most cases. However, that has changed drastically in recent years. The best current example is Space Marine 2, which celebrated huge success.

What is Warhammer? The world of Warhammer is dark. There is a never-ending war between the races and chaos, racism divides the realms, and there are only moral gray areas, no “good” and “evil”. The worlds are divided into Warhammer: The Old World (formerly Fantasy), Age of Sigmar, and the sci-fi world of Warhammer 40,000.

How we rated: For the rating, we only considered officially licensed Warhammer games. For the ranking, user ratings on Steam are decisive.

The games are often divided into dozens of individual DLCs with varying ratings. Therefore, for the selection, we focused on base games.

Rank 5: Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun

  • Genre: First-Person Shooter/Boomer Shooter
  • Release: May 23, 2023
  • Rating on Steam: 91 % (all) / 93 % (recent)
  • Players: Singleplayer
  • Boltgun on Steam

In the pixel style of the original Doom, you blast your way through hordes of chaos demons as a Space Marine and use the entire arsenal of the Adeptus Astartes: Bolter, Melter, Chainsword, and more.

Boltgun aims to remind you of the “good old days” and promises intuitive gameplay that requires no prior knowledge. You start the game and begin blasting demons, just like in the shooters of the past.

Despite its considerable popularity, Boltgun is more of a niche game with only a few hundred players (via steamcharts). While it is among the best games on Steam, it is aimed at a very specific audience.

Boltgun is suitable for:

  • Fans of old-school shooters like Doom and Unreal Tournament
  • Shooter fans who enjoy fast action
  • Retro gamers looking for “games like back in the day”
  • Players who prioritize accessible gameplay and quick entry over complex mechanics and deep narratives
