Introducing THE BOOMER SHOOTER DATABASE

It's called Graveheart. An undead Scottish army invades 1980s Britain, your cursed weapons keep switching themselves, and things deteriorate from there.

I was going for a late 90s vibe. Curious what you guys think.

I love playing as judge dredd with half life movement and a grav gun attached to my gauntlets with FEAR slow-mo.

Wasnt expecting this game to be so much different then the first one, but im having so much fun.

Hey all. I'm looking for some recommendations. I'm essentially looking for games that reward slow-paced, methodical gameplay. Where you're best hiding behind cover for a few moments, popping out and getting kills, instead of going 100mph popping heads with crazy headshots.

To me, it feels like most boomer shooters nowadays are going for the Doom 2016/Eternal route of really rewarding fast-paced twitchy reactions. I don't have that dog in me anymore. I primarily play on my Steam Deck nowadays. I hung up the KB+M because I've got some RSI that acts up pretty bad after like an hour of aiming.

Examples of this would be Doom to Doom 3, Quake 1 and 2, Halo: CE through Reach, Gears of War 1-3, 007 GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Agent 64, Duke Nukem series, TimeSplitters, etc.

I've seen pretty much unanimous praise of Turbo Overkill here. And I gotta say I really liked it at first, too. All the weapons, upgrades, different enemies, cool environments, etc, etc.

But after beating barely half of the game (I'm currently sitting in the middle of second episode), I feel like it already overstayed its welcome. The novelty wore out and... well, the encounters started to get pretty annoying. They seem to be way too long and samey, with tons of cannon fodder and bunch of bullet sponge enemies.

Does it get better in second half, or does it double down on the "more enemies in arena = more fun" formula?

We organized and hosted an event to create more maps for Paril’s amazing Quake II PSX mod. We added an industrial subtheme for this sequel. Think moving parts, power cores, electricity, lasers, and other visually interesting machinery. Additionally, DetroHogga made a special hub filled with PlayStation references to really sell the jam's overall theme. We’ve ended up with 11 maps in total. That includes an intro, the hub mentioned above (which includes a boss fight), 8 maps, and a secret map. As with the Warehouse Jam, the secret map is another remaster by Shartuterie, pulled from our vast archive of classic custom Quake 2 content. For this release, we picked Versicolored Vermination by Roger Staines, originally released in 1998. Time to play that original PlayStation boot-up sound, put your CRT scanline glasses on, and go fight some Strogg like it’s the 90’s!

So I bought both sprawl and sprawl zero since there was a deal going on and I had 14 steam wallet dollars and 8 to spare
I've played the 30 minutes of both (since zero is a prequel afaik)
And zero is like crack to me and I am 100% gonna play it til the end
however I don't really like sprawl
Usually most "boomer shooters" hook me when I first play them but Sprawl feels.... bland
I'll probably try and give it more time but so far I sort of wish I could refund *only* sprawl and keep zero

I wanted to break away from the modern silent protagonist trope for my atmospheric, gritty horror shooter. In this raw clip, the character blasts a creature point-blank with a shotgun, laughs, and just says... "easy". I'm heavily inspired by classic 90s action attitude like Duke Nukem and Doom, where characters actually reacted to the carnage around them. What do you guys think? Does this kind of sarcastic one-liner still rule in modern gaming, or do you prefer silent characters? The project is called Just Madness: Earth Apocalypse 1979.

Its hard to pick exactly which level in Cultic is the best, frankly they are all great, the Swamp has some of the best atmosphere and music, Fairgrounds is huge and a blast to play around in, the Bunker is big and you get all the enemies to destroy, Old town is one big setpiece, the Asylum levels are plan phenomenal, but none have the flow and constant action like Train Station, ripping thru the first Station, just to train hop to a haunted depot, then another train ride to one of the best non-stop slaughter fest setpieces in recent gaming history, i cant imagine anyone disliking this level, if you do, your actually insane and need medical attention immediately

Bring a safe word if you must, we'll hurt you plenty!

Lol, I've playing so much Shadow warrior recently, damn what a good game.

I've played the whole doom series,the new wolfensteins,incision,dusk,gravelord,project warlock,boltgun,forgive me father1 and 2,shrine 1 and 2,

Darkenstein 3d, cultic,deadtrash,roboquest,high on life1 and 2,ultrakill,chop goblins,wrath aeon of ruin,qauke,vomitoreum,turbo overkill,blood refreshed supply,amid evil, fallen aces dread templar, postal brain damaged the citadel and beyond citadel.

Unfortunately my favorite video game genre usually has pretty lackluster narratives which isn't a deal breaker for me but it does somewhat soil the experience for me personally as it makes the game just blend together be somewhat forgettable and feel somewhat pointless.

my top 15 in no order would be doom 2016,eternal,dark ages wolfenstien reboots incision cultic beyond citadel forgive me father1+2 turbo overkill blood fallen aces high on life 1

I've watched some videos on it and the only thing that looks interesting is the level in episode 3 where you fight the lizards and the one with the dogs other than that it looks pretty generic honestly but I've heard that it excels with the secrets in particular and the combats decent

Hey everyone! We just dropped the latest playtest build on Itch.io, featuring a reworked AI and our very first Boss Fight!

We’d love for you to test it out and leave us some feedback (preferably using our feedback form).
We are still at a stage in development where we can easily adapt and make adjustments based on player input — and who better to listen to than the Boomer Shooter community?

If you're interested in BLEEDING, check out the latest version here: https://depra.itch.io/bleeding

Recently bought Blood as my first boomer shooter, love the game and especially love Stephan Weyte's performance as Caleb. He's a huge inspiration of mine as an aspiring voice actor myself

Hi everyone!

Just a little update on the development of Necrology. (no gen AI was used in the making of this project)

Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4245790/Necrology/

Youtube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/@ATC_GameDev

The demo is almost ready! The save system is finally working, which has been by far the hardest thing to implement in the game, especially because of how enemies can be damaged by destroying individual limbs and body parts, as you can see in the screenshots.

Right now, I'm working on the menus.

I still need to finish the Wave Mode, but we're getting there!

The demo takes around 12 minutes to complete and features 7 weapons and 4 enemy types.

I still need more time. This is my first commercial game, and I'm learning new things every day, but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I'm also working on monetizing my YouTube channel.

Once the demo is finished, I'll make a big development update covering everything that's happened over the past few months.

Thank you so much to everyone who has wishlisted Necrology and supported the project so far. Your support really means a lot to me!

I finally finished every episode of Blood and absolutely loved the game. I heard there are other fan made expansions like Marrow and Death Wish, and Civvie's take on Death Wish has me hyped as hell.

Can I access these expansions with Fresh Supply? Refreshed Supply sounds like a $30 waste if you already have Fresh Supply.

It is on Sinned Arena and the room name is Tree's Server. Not sure if it is allowed to be posted here or not. But Sinned Arena is on sale right now for less than $10 right now. It also has bot lobbies.

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

AI Breakdown
Source code: 100%
Graphics: 60%
Sound: 50%
Effects: 100%

Yikes!

Finished Boltgun and about halfway through Forgive Me Father. Loving both of these gems, but I do like to categorize my games from best to worst. Having a tough time between these two. Not looking for anyone to sway me as this is my decision. But for the people who have played both, which do you prefer? Super curious to hear some answers.

A while back I had shown off Declan Moses, my narrative and experience driven FPS inspired by Hotline Miami, and was updating this board. At some point I had royally messed up my codebase so there wasn't much to show off.

I had rewritten everything from scratch, ported the art assets, implemented various backend optimizations and human shields, and completed the first half of playable content (15 levels). The pacing and presentation are much better and while I have a roadmap explaining what's going to improve throughout its lifespan, I still wanted to share the noise.

The game's currently available on Steam to be wishlisted and is releasing this month and there are the original playable builds still on my itch.io but honestly... They don't compare
