Overall, the music is considered a standout feature, contributing significantly to the game's fun and immersive atmosphere.

    • “One of the best parts of the game is the music!”
    • “The music absolutely slaps and I couldn't help shouting waaaaagh!!!!”
    • “The soundtrack is an absolute bop!”
    • “The music's annoying metal more often than not, and I turned it off.”
    • “And the music is barely there, a droning bass that doesn't really go anywhere.”
    • “Shoot underwhelming weapons (seriously, they're all super unsatisfying) with infinite ammo (no need to switch weapon and be accurate to conserve ammo) while generic metal music plays and try to not be annoyed by the unappealing vocals & grunts of your orks.”
  • story209 mentions

    The story of "Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef" is characterized as humorous and delightfully simplistic, revolving around an ork's quest to reclaim his stolen hair squig from a treacherous warboss. While the narrative is entertaining and fits well within the orky lore, it is notably short, typically lasting around 3-4 hours, which some players feel may not justify the price tag. Overall, the light-hearted and absurd nature of the story, combined with engaging gameplay, makes it a fun experience, especially when played with friends.

    • “I've not had this much fun in a side scroller shooter in ages, and the story/dialogue and constant action kept me stuck playing nonstop.”
    • “The story setup is great, you're on a quest to take down your old warboss who betrayed you because you have a shiny thing on your head and he's da boss!”
    • “The story is funny, which is proper orky lore; basically, you murder everyone to get your hair squig back.”
    • “The story is purposely threadbare, but things that would normally make up for it (funny cut scenes, dialogue, interesting locations) aren't super present.”
    • “The unfortunate part of this game is how short it is because you'll be wanting more out of the story.”
    • “If you have no intentions of playing the versus mode, the story mode is way too short to be worth 20€.”
  • humor205 mentions

  • gameplay164 mentions

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it enjoyable yet simplistic, often likening it to a mindless 2D shooter with repetitive mechanics. While the art style, music, and voice acting are praised, the short campaign length and lack of variety in weapons and enemy types detract from the overall experience.

    • “Fun story and interesting gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is simple but satisfying, the music immaculate, and the orkiness off the charts, highly recommend especially if it goes on any sort of sale.”
    • “The gameplay is fast and intense, the weapons feel very fun to use, the levels are both well designed and on theme.”
    • “Other than existing in a different universe and repackaging the way new weapons are acquired, it brings almost nothing new to the table in terms of gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is repetitive; you have not enough guns and varieties, can't upgrade ork or grenades, despite having too much money to shell out!”
    • “The gameplay though is atrocious.”
  • graphics98 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their charming, cartoonish aesthetic that perfectly captures the whimsical and chaotic nature of the orks.

    • “The Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic fits the anarchic mayhem of the orks perfectly.”
    • “The art style is really charming, the voice acting and music are amazing, and the gameplay is fun and addicting.”
    • “Visuals not clear, the color palette makes it hard to see anything.”
    • “The art style, while I guess fitting for the theme, is unappealing to the eyes and the weapons don't have the same impact I'd expect coming from said previous games.”
    • “Artwork... there's 'charmingly simple' then there's 'cheap'.”
  • stability62 mentions

    The game is widely criticized for its instability, with numerous reports of bugs, crashes, and poor performance, particularly in multiplayer and co-op modes. Players have noted issues such as desynchronization, glitches, and unresponsive AI, leading to a frustrating experience. While some find the gameplay enjoyable, the overall consensus is that the game requires significant improvements in stability before it can be recommended.

    • “With the multiplayer being a buggy mess, I cannot recommend this game. Whoever decided to release a multiplayer-focused game that has a broken multiplayer needs to reevaluate their decisions in life.”
    • “The game crashes constantly, there are tons of visual bugs and glitches. The only good things about this game are the posters and trophies in the background. Do not buy.”
    • “The game suffers from glitches, poor hit detection at times, and just a general feeling of jank.”
  • replayability48 mentions

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed, with some players finding value in trying different classes and achievements, especially in co-op mode, while others criticize it for being too short (around 4-5 hours) and lacking substantial content or incentives for repeated play. Many reviews suggest that the game is more enjoyable with friends, but overall, it suffers from limited replay value and a need for additional content to enhance longevity.

    • “Combine this with a total of five weapon slots each with four weapon options, the game has a ton of replayability.”
    • “It is highly addictive albeit being disappointingly short - but with great replayability value if you find some friends to play with.”
    • “The campaign is short but has a lot of replay value with the achievements and different classes to choose from.”
    • “Replayability is next to null and rapidly oscillates between too hard and too easy with not much in the way of in-between or skill involved.”
    • “The game is also tremendously short, no more than 4-5 hours and there is no replayability or strange unlocks.”
    • “I do wish there was more replayability to the game, currently the only type of progression is 'buy all the guns' which can be done on a single playthrough.”
  • grinding14 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, often leading to drawn-out fights lacking challenge or variety. While the initial campaign offers a brief and enjoyable experience, the lack of content for grinding and replayability diminishes long-term engagement, making the grinding feel more like a chore than a rewarding activity. Frequent disconnects and loading crashes further exacerbate the frustration associated with grinding.

    • “Leading to drawn out tedious fights with no challenge or unique gameplay.”
    • “So after this all I had to look forward to was grinding humans into paste endlessly over and over.”
