This is hands down one of the best fps I've ever played. Absolutely genius blend of Blood and RE4. Music goes crazy too.

The dev is talking about releasing chapter 2 soon

jenpallante.bsky.social•11 days ago

Cultic is phenominal.

Mullet Madjack is a roguelike where you have seconds to live and every kill adds precious time to your clock, so you gotta kill fast, and its aesthetic is not just generally anime inspired, it's basically that one Manga Video sizzle real from the 90s

Mullet Madjack is a blast and it’s on Game Pass

I will not get tired of recommending people check Selaco out, it is hands down one of the best of the genre has to offer, it's incredible what this game is doing in the GZDoom engine, it's a thoroughly brilliant game even in its current Early Access state.

Also the protag is kinda hot

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•11 days ago

Prodeus is another I'd consider top tier, it leans extremely into the Doom influence, but that is no bad thing. It does what it does especially well, and has some of the meatiest weapons and the wettest gore, the sound design is impeccable. Highly recommended!

My only wish now is for a boomshoot that doesn't take inspiration from Doom, but from Unreal 1. I've had enough techno industrial graveyards, give me a ziggurat in the jungle, shrouded by mists and ancient crystals.

Amid Evil is the closest to scratching my itch

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•11 days ago

And of course, how could I go without mentioning Frogmonster? It's the Frogmonsteriest of them all. One of the best games of 2024. It also still has a demo, go give that a go at the very least.

Supplice is another Early Access gem, heavily inspired by the original Marathon and just put out its 4th episode, it's a game I really need to revisit at some point, but from what I played it was fantastic, and the soundtrack is pure fire.

I'd honestly highly recommend Viscerafest. It's the most fun I've had with an early-access game EVER. Probably because it has what every good 90's "2.5D" shooter has and every modern Retro FPS lacks: a badass bloodthirsty antihero protagonist (no pun intended)

Severed Steel is one of the coolest feeling FPS games I've played. Pure distilled action in small levels with bullet time and hardcore parkour

jenlegirl.bsky.social•11 days ago

Hey casey, if you want another recommendation, I have Hell Denizen for ya. It's a cool boom shoot where you kill demons and aliens as a transfem catgirl voiced by an actual trans woman

Only Lead Can Stop Them makes no bones about being a Wolf3D riff, but this one's set in the Spanish civil war, and you fill your Conviction meter (for rage mode, you know the kind) by *reading fascist literature* and *believing that they mean what they say*. https://www.gog.com/en/game/only_lead_can_stop_them

Beyond Sunset is another one built on GZDoom, that has an amazing cyberpunk aesthetic and is really fun.

Trepang my beloved deserves a mention 🥺

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•11 days ago

Crap, I still need to play that!

silverfoxlibrary.com•11 days ago

YEYEYEYEYE I WAS LITERALLY GOING ON ABOUT THIS GAME IN MY FRIENDS DISCORD LOL

bramslambreakfast.bsky.social•11 days ago

Also one of the only games here with PvP deathmatch, which is the only thing a lot of these are lacking

matesrsen.bsky.social•11 days ago

The thing about Prodeus is that its graphics and art design make the game look like the perfect version of itself. My reaction to everything on screen is 'yes, that is how that should look'. Nothing needs any more or less polygons or pixels - every visual element is the Platonic ideal of that thing.

ladyteacup.bsky.social•11 days ago

I played Prodeus earlier this year and absolutely loved it. Incredible soundtrack, too.

testiculartorsions.bsky.social•11 days ago

Don't forget prodeus!

shadovvxero.bsky.social•11 days ago

I played through a few levels. I honestly thought they used 3D models for the enemies until I realized they were actually 16-rotational sprites. Now that's dedication

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•11 days ago

They did use 3D models if I recall correctly, the sprites is a filter, you can switch between it in the options

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•11 days ago

Snap :D

mrahmedgaming.bsky.social•11 days ago

I clicked on the link ready to wishlist and it turns out I already did. I always love your recommendations!

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thanks, I try my best :D

Cultic is one of my favorite retro style shooters to come out, phenomenal game, tons of fun, good guns, great atmosphere and art direction, and a lot of dynamite throwing. What else could you need?
