I'm a lover of retro inspired shooters. Some call em throwback shooters. I fucking love them and I follow a lot of them. Their development, feed etc. Basically I keep track of them cuz I fucking love them.
So in this thread, there are games that are trotro inspired shooters. As something gets announced, new game or a game is coming out of early access, I'll post it in here.
AMID EVIL
One of my favourite examples of throwback shooters is this, Amid Evil. It uses the UE4 engine but the weapon models and pickups are 2d sprites. I just finished this recently, it's close in style to Hexen or Heretic. Really awesome. Soundtrack by Andrew Hulschult.


DUSK
It's fucking brilliant. Made by just one guy, in Unity, David Syzmanski.

Great thread. Love me some boomer shooters. Looking forward to Wrath and Graven.

 

[Rock And Roll]

I'm still waiting on the Switch port for Dusk. It was supposed to come out Halloween but got pushed back and radio silence since then.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

Thought this thread would be about SHMUPs..
Anyway, love Quake2 and 3 to death and back..

LAN parties with good friends and lots of fridge pizzas were the best.

 

[The Bloody Nine]

Played Dusk, it's pretty good. I also own Ion Fury but haven't played it yet.

Played Dusk, it's pretty good. I also own Ion Fury but haven't played it yet.

Ion Fury is excellent and it took me by surprise how much they managed to get out of the old Duke 3D engine. Definitely boot it up, you won't be disappointed

Really love the look of Prodeus. Just waiting for it to come out of Early Access before buying.

Out of these I only played Ion Maiden but I didn't like it at all, just bad in comparison to Shadow Warrior and Duke3D. I also played STRAFE and that game is awesome. Played through it many times. Definitely add STRAFE to the list.
HROT looks very good, especially since it takes place in my hometown, but the price is a bit steep for a quake clone.

I really want to play all of these and love the genre so much but unfortunately nowadays these games make me more motion sick than anything out there and I cant even play em.

 

[Test]

still my favorite genre, dying but not dead and primed for resurgence after the throes of the royale genre burn a wake slash want for arena combat and sudden death
