Boomer Shooter

Trepang2, a highly impressive first-person shooter (FPS) heavily influenced by Monolith's F.E.A.R, is set to be released on Steam on June 21. The recent announcement of the release date was accompanied by an exciting trailer showcasing the game's intense and gory combat, as well as providing glimpses into its storyline. Players assume the role of "106," a powerful supersoldier who has managed to escape from a research facility owned by the suspicious Horizon corporation. Rescued by a paramilitary group aiming to dismantle Horizon, you embark on a mission to seek revenge against those who imprisoned you. The game's action is visually stunning, featuring extravagant effects and a bullet-time ability that allows you to witness the impact of explosions rippling through the environment. Trepang2 also introduces new elements to the first-person "gun-fu" mechanics of Monolith's original game, such as dual-wielding weapons, using enemies as human shields, and employing grabbed enemies to disorient or eliminate other foes by throwing them around or shooting the grenades on their belts.

Byte Barrel's "Forgive Me Father" is a distinctive retro-styled FPS that blends '90s shooter gameplay with the dark themes of H.P. Lovecraft’s works. The fast-paced game, with its gritty and comic-book-esque aesthetic, lifts themes from Lovecraft's “Call of Cthulhu” and “The Shadow over Innsmouth.” Players can adopt the role of a male priest, favoring a slow and defensive playstyle, or a female journalist, designed for more aggressive players with shorter spell cooldowns. Drawing comparisons to "Doom" or "Blood," the game features claustrophobic levels filled with cultists, zombies, and other monsters. Players can wield an array of Prohibition Era weapons, including a six-shooter, a Tommy Gun, and a unique gun that shoots ball lightning, along with a variety of magic spells such as a healing cross and a room-clearing voodoo doll.

“Boomer shooter” is the latest term to follow the likes of “Roguelike” or “Soulslike” in the realm of hyperspecific gaming subgenres. It applies to first-person shooters that intentionally harken back to the classic PC games of the late ‘90s like Doom and Quake.
