In Warhammer 40000: Shootas Blood and Teef, you can become the ultimate warboss of waaagh by defeating all the Orks.

Warhammer 40000 has been a tabletop wargame of dark and futuristic battlefields since the 1980s. This has inspired music, novels, similar board games, and video games. Warhammer video games have been exceptionally popular from the early 1990’s to now. The Warhammer 40000: Shootas Blood and Teef, has come to Nintendo Switch and is living up to its name.

Diving into this game I was new to this franchise and had no idea how many people have come together from different parts of the world and have had the opportunity to put in their own little twist while keeping the heart of the game alive. There are many different versions made by different groups. As someone who is new to the Warhammer 40000 world, I had the ultimate opportunity to either love it or hate it based on my experience with this freshly made game.

I was absolutely impressed with Warhammer 40000: Shootas Blood and Teef on the Nintendo Switch. I had the option to choose the difficulty and I chose to start with easy (I know, I was being extra careful because I was so alien to this). Now, there was this masterpiece of an intro just thrown at me. I honestly would have been satisfied just watching that as some Warhammer 40000 cartoon. The accent and the slang, along with the spelling on the subtitles made the game exponentially magical for me. I want to say they were potentially Australian from the way they spoke.

Warhammer 40000: Shootas Blood and Teef took this game to the next level. The arsenal was impressive and the clever tidbits on each weapon explaining what they were capable of was the icing on the cake. There was slang used for the names of each weapon, such as boomstikk or shokka pistol. This game is packed with humor as well as inspirational talk that made me want to become the warboss of WAAAGH! All I had to do was constantly defeat the Orks, or any enemy in the moment.

In Warhammer 40000: Shootas Blood and Teef, the Orks are also known as the “Green Tide,” and this is probably why everywhere you go in the game they truly come pouring in like flowing water. You are outnumbered, they come out of every crevice it seems and you just have to plow through them and kill them all in order to move on. There are weapons that explode, shoot hundreds of bullets in different directions, electrify anyone near, and some that explode into more explosions.

The “designer” outfits of what looks like hardy scrap metal and wood with grand accessories to help in battle, or to make you look like a true warrior. To be able to be more decorated with accessories like those mentioned as well as a nifty explosive arsenal, you have to gain money. Also, if you want to be more effective at blowing up your enemies you will constantly need more dakka! There is never enough dakka and it is scattered all over the place.

If you were at all wondering, I was absolutely feeling ambitious and I did move on to try out the medium level of difficulty. There is definitely a difference, and I am currently scared to try the hardest version, but I plan on doing it just to see the chaos that unfolds from it like a true warboss. I have not gotten as far with the new settings, but I have been following and dominating the Humies with a new army.

I have been thankful of the health-pig. I do not know what this creature is called, so forgive me, but there are pig-like creatures that roam around that give you health. You can only eat them if your health is down and you have to chase them. If I felt like I was going to be taking on a sea of Ork as well as a boss, I would shoot the health pigs so I could get to them quickly and regenerate my health. I died quite a few times, but this did help me a lot.

While playing Warhammer 40000: Shootas Blood and Teef I have laughed many times at the clever humor and the great consistency of theme and energy put into this game. It is a real treat, and I might enjoy it a little too much than I want to admit. There was a metal band that jammed out, room shaking to the beat while I battled Orks in the concert hall, and then I battled their boss. It was epic and I was clearly missing out on an entire game franchise! The navigation around the gameplay is extremely straightforward and simple, even though the game can be hard.

The only thing I might complain about is that there were some dakka boxes that I was not able to grab. I walked over them multiple times and there was no response. I was not sure if that was just a glitch or if that happened for a specific reason and never found out that reason. I also found it difficult to aim the gun unless I fired first and then aimed. Other than that, the game played very smoothly, and I was able to have some laughs.

All in all, Warhammer 40000: Shootas Blood and Teef is very entertaining. It is great for a laugh while also great for satisfying that itch to play a good wargame. It comes with a storyline that is fun to follow and has details such as music that truly enhances the overall theme of the game. There were a couple of glitches I experienced, but it did not take away from the game as a whole.
