Dusk is so good, i played through it on the steamdeck. I tried ultrakill but it was a lot more challenging and I gave up lol.

The term boomer shooter is just ... really? Like why?

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Because "Gen X shooter" doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way, and because they had their resurgence at a time when "boomer" was coming into its own as a more generic term for "old".

But it's still dumb AF.

It’s boomer because things go boom it’s a reaction name for looter shooter.

Ultrakill is the peak of the genre

There's always https://xonotic.org/ for some classic feeling doom/quakelike multiplayer action

Do I see Dusk? I love Dusk! Go buy this right now. If you're concerned about digital rights management, don't be. New Blood never adds it to their games.
