Boiling Bolt Critic Reviews

A brave Shoot'Em Up, defying for lovers of the genre but not so much attractive for beginners. His lack of levels gets compensated by the variety of game modes and the offline coop.

The visuals are bright and have a nice style to them, the gameplay loop is fun and when things are going your way, it can give you a real adrenaline boost. A slow basic firing rate and some cheap lost lives can lead to frustration, especially in the later levels, but overall Boiling Bolt is a fun throwback to simpler times that is equally as challenging as it is annoying.

I can’t fault the team at Persistant Studios for attempting something a little different with Boiling Bolt, but it does come up a bit too short to ever worry the big shmup guns.
