I love oldschool FPS’s, but somehow the whole boomer shooter resurgence just passed me by. I just finished Boltgun on the hardest difficulty and had a great time, would love to hear some other suggestions

    There are a lot to sift through, but I recommend:

    • Nightmare Reaper You play as a woman sent to an asylum and the battle is against the horrors within her head. It has tons of fun weapons, enemies, and challenges.
    • AMID EVIL A magic themed FPS that reminds me a lot of Hexen/Hexic. It has a superb soundtrack.
    • Forgive Me Father A horrific adventure to fight a cult and its otherworldly summonings. Has a perk progression system that sets it apart from most.

      Nightmare Reaper is an absolute blast. I found it scrolling YouTube a year or so back and have enjoyed almost every minute with it.

      I haven’t tried Amid Evil yet, just the VR edition. The VR version has been incredible so far.

      If VR is of any interest Compound is another great game. It gets more into rogue-like territory but the Doom era inspirations are apparent immediately

      Seconding Amid Evil, it’s a lot of fun. Sometimes I fire it up for a quick game. Cool weapons.

    HROT is a great, stylized boomer shooter if you’ve got a kick for eastern Europe/Soviet-era architecture.

    CULTIC! It’s a bit more horror-inspired than Boltgun and it’s just wonderful. Also comes with a pretty fun survival mode where you fight waves and use money to buy equipment.

    Dusk is probably the most popular one. It’s a spiritual successor to Quake that succeeds it in every way.
