So many years of evolution inside the gaming industry and gaming overall - but the need to go fast and pulp everything in your way still remains. Almost brings a tear to my eyes :’)
I hope we see more Turok-likes like BITTER! I always felt like the format Turok had was underrated & wished more games adopted it’s style of mixing 90s Action-Adventure level design with FPS gameplay
@@MeatPie95 Not to get your hopes up *too* high or anything, but Stephen Kick (CEO of Nightdive Studios, who remastered the first two games) has said that he wants to finish the trilogy! I'm assuming that'll be their next big project once System Shock is finally out.
Phantom Fury, Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition, Compound Fracture, Sin & Kingpin the ones who got my attention. I love when retro / old FPS don't go to far with lights, my eyes get tired easily with them. Simple graphics, less artifices, perfect.
I contributed to the system shock remake Kickstarter. Its about friggin time they released it!! It's only about 5 years late or so now. I am also hoping Graven comes out of early access this year too.
Great to see the return of this old shit. Good games never die. This will find a new generation of players who will dig it as much as I did when I was young.
I keep waiting and hoping for *_Kingpin Reloaded..._* I've been gaming since the '80s. As much as I love all the classic fps and even newer retro IP like Hrot, Kingpin still remains my favorite. The neo-retro mafia fps concept, set in an Art Deco world, remains unique. People also forget it was the first fps to have companion AI that were actually good, and though definitely more fps than rpg, it had simple conversation and quest system for NPC interaction not unlike Deus Ex. There's any number of Doom clones, Quake clones and "tactical" shooters, but nothing I know of that fits the Kingpin subgenre in concept or execution.
Great video, even I someone who has more than 40 games wishlisted with 90% being these throwback shooters didn't know about some of these. Most hyped for: Ion Fury Aftershock DLC, Phantom Fury, Amid Evil Black Labyrinth and Slayers X Terminal Aftermath
I added three of these games to my Steam Wishlist (Amid Evil, Bood West, Compound Fracture) Compound Fracture looks amazing!! Reminds me of Dino Crisis, and I can't wait!
Great games are coming indeed! Although I sense a lack of more grounded shooters similiar to Half-Life, Call of Juarez or BioShock. Someone should also make those too.
Thanks for making this man! Didn't even know you had a youtube (we're friends on Steam), just happened to see this on my youtube homepage. So the algoritihim is working well thankfully ;P
Compound Fracture and Ion Fury/Aftershock are easily my most anticipated. I'd say Selaco is but we all know that there's no way it's getting a full release, hell maybe not even an early access release, in the next four years.
for those of you who haven't already played beyond sunsets demo, please do it. It is one of the most charming and exciting retro FPS I've played in a long time. I've been waiting for this thing for what feels like forever.
Great video, had a lot of these on the wishlist and in the library already, now added 3 more. Also nice to see the epic only and haven't been updated in a while info. Thanks.
Insanely well researched and compiled list. Almost a year old and still relevant....there are many niche titles here too. In case you are watching this now dear viewer let me throw a few more titles for ya: The Last Exterminator, Arthurian Legends, Voltage High Society, They Came From Dimension X (haven't seen gameplay this unique since years).
@@AlbertoMonroy-lq2vw damn, that's a shame. I thought it was derivative, just another retro boomer shooter with a name trying to outdo ULTRAKILL in its ridiculousness, so Id hoped that it would become more than that
Finally another FPS game that isn't a war themed done to death!! But a DOOM like FPS in a refreshing way, bringing old school shooters in a modernized way without modifying the old elements just like what doom 2016 and doom eternal did reminds you the glory days of just shooting monster with sonic like speed while rocking off to hard metal as its soundtrack and oh yeah DEATHMATCH with real people, especially arena shooters that have maps that just screams deathmatch, man do I missed those glory days and it seems that this new old school shooters might be bringing back the experience of the glory days which I adore....
Some of these are/will be absolute killers. Turbo overkill, expansion for Amid evil, Phantom fury, Incision, Brutal fate, Dread templar, Ultrakill, Hrot, Selaco and probably some more hidden gems.
exocide, bitter are the ones that stood out to me out of the ones i didn't know about, following those now! I know its a very debatable thing on whether its old school or not, but Trepang2 has also gotten me excited.
So many hyperfast "lasers vs demons" shooters... Damn, I would LOVE a retro themed stealth FPS! Like "No One Lives Forever 3", or "Deus Ex Invisible War 2"
I'll second the vote for Kingpin. It's still one of my all-time favorite fps games. What kills me is the industry keeps releasing any number of Doom-like, Quake-like, CoD-like and "tactical" shooters... But I have yet to see anything else that fits the Kingpin "subgenre" of fps/rpg mafia shooter in a gritty, dark neo-retro world.
@@J.DeLaPoer yeah! So weird given the success of GTA (I know the vibe and style is different, but you’d think the industry would branch out more out of the GTA style).
Great video! another interesting new fps is Citadel 2, its a bit weird but takes a lot of inspiration from Marathon, its probably not releasing soon but looks great
Witchfire switching to a roguelite instead of a classic fps was kind of a bummer but I'm still hyped. It would be interesting to see what seasoned FPS devs will do with rogue mechanics.
I best most of these won't ever leave Early Access, if they even get that far. 3D Realms for example keeps announcing games but they have basically abandoned Wrath: Aeon of Ruin and Graven.
There’s only so much variety you can pull off in one genre or subgenre. Standouts for me in the boom shoot category (other than the obvious ones like Dusk/AE/Ultrakill/Ion) are Cultic, Selaco, Boltgun, Prodeus, and Turbo Overkill. Hrot is good too. They’re similar but different execution and each excels at a specific style and combat loop.
So many years of evolution inside the gaming industry and gaming overall - but the need to go fast and pulp everything in your way still remains. Almost brings a tear to my eyes :’)
It's all good, but genre in a whole do not create anything new. Just marking time in a different visual styles
Old school is best school
Compound Fracture is more of a slow paced game.
This must of taken alot of work, Thank you!
Some. ;)
I second this sentiment. Thanks for putting all these great BoomShoots in one compilation!!!
Must have*
I hope we see more Turok-likes like BITTER!
I always felt like the format Turok had was underrated & wished more games adopted it’s style of mixing 90s Action-Adventure level design with FPS gameplay
Dude that would be dope! and that Bitter game that was shown, did look like a Turok like game. And hopefully we get a new Turok game as well.
That would be big time! Luv Turok .
@@MeatPie95 Not to get your hopes up *too* high or anything, but Stephen Kick (CEO of Nightdive Studios, who remastered the first two games) has said that he wants to finish the trilogy! I'm assuming that'll be their next big project once System Shock is finally out.
I gotta be honest... it didn't even register in my brain that it was a Turok clone game.
@@Chozo_Ghost So an HD remaster of 3 which was not as adventure like?
Really well done on this, the sheer volume of work shows the effort you put in.
55 games in this list, so amazing. This channel's content is as useful as that other channel called Zlim Bratski that I discovered recently.
Phantom Fury, Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition, Compound Fracture, Sin & Kingpin the ones who got my attention. I love when retro / old FPS don't go to far with lights, my eyes get tired easily with them. Simple graphics, less artifices, perfect.
I contributed to the system shock remake Kickstarter. Its about friggin time they released it!! It's only about 5 years late or so now. I am also hoping Graven comes out of early access this year too.
I want so many of these to come out just on the merit of their soundtracks. Super looking forward to Selaco in particular though.
Great to see the return of this old shit. Good games never die. This will find a new generation of players who will dig it as much as I did when I was young.
Thanks for including Shoot to Kill, what a lineup!

Kingpin was cool. Is the remastered still in the works?
Brutal John! Oh yeah! 😎👍
I hadn't heard of some of these. Thanks!
Really helpful video! So much good stuff to look forward to
Holy Hellfire we are about to enter a golden age of boomer shooters and I'm all here for it! Let's go!
Great video, even I someone who has more than 40 games wishlisted with 90% being these throwback shooters didn't know about some of these. Most hyped for: Ion Fury Aftershock DLC, Phantom Fury, Amid Evil Black Labyrinth and Slayers X Terminal Aftermath
Omg. BIG THANK TO YOU! Retro & Oldschool First-Person Shooters is treasure in my life! 👍👍👍👍👍
Salaco is my most anticipated indie game of this year by a large margin
I added three of these games to my Steam Wishlist (Amid Evil, Bood West, Compound Fracture)
Compound Fracture looks amazing!! Reminds me of Dino Crisis, and I can't wait!
Bood west lmao
Civvie11 has alot of work to do
Being over weight?
damn that editing and transitions is slick. nice list too. subscribed!
Great games are coming indeed! Although I sense a lack of more grounded shooters similiar to Half-Life, Call of Juarez or BioShock. Someone should also make those too.
Thank you for this upload. I add like eight more games to my wishlist on steam :)
Thanks for making this man! Didn't even know you had a youtube (we're friends on Steam), just happened to see this on my youtube homepage. So the algoritihim is working well thankfully ;P
Haha! Hi there! 😄
Thank you for featuring my game :)
Great video. We're living in a new golden age of old school shooters
Compound Fracture and Ion Fury/Aftershock are easily my most anticipated. I'd say Selaco is but we all know that there's no way it's getting a full release, hell maybe not even an early access release, in the next four years.
Compound Fracture and Ultraviolent for me.
I agree with your list.
I really hope the System Shock remake supports VR
Added about 90% of these to my wishlist, thanks!
Thanx for the video!
for those of you who haven't already played beyond sunsets demo, please do it. It is one of the most charming and exciting retro FPS I've played in a long time. I've been waiting for this thing for what feels like forever.
Great video, had a lot of these on the wishlist and in the library already, now added 3 more.
Also nice to see the epic only and haven't been updated in a while info.
Thanks.
Great video! Some titles are definitely very interesting! Thank you!
Insanely well researched and compiled list. Almost a year old and still relevant....there are many niche titles here too. In case you are watching this now dear viewer let me throw a few more titles for ya: The Last Exterminator, Arthurian Legends, Voltage High Society, They Came From Dimension X (haven't seen gameplay this unique since years).
yt algorithm has blessed me with a hidden treasure trove
6:40 when your gun is your hand and your other hand doesnt know what to do
Thankyou so much. Added all of them 👍
Super excited for Coven, played through the demo several times.
This is gravestone of FPS
Thank you for this list, found a lot of new ones i didn't know in here!
God, I want Witchfire to release so bad! I love the aesthetic of the world.
Subbed. This year has a lot of games to look forward to
Alot of these look reaaaally good, thank you for making this. Definitely gonna be putting these on my list.
11:29 Very strong 'Eye of the beholder' vibes. That's taking me back, looks awesome.
Check out id software's Catacomb-3D (there's a source port now.)
Witchfire - I've been waiting for this game for a long time
I'm glad that Turbo Overkill is taking off as its own thing, I remember playing a demo on steam and it felt sort of generic back then
It still feels very repetitive. Once the feel of the chainsaw slide wears down every level and music feel the same.
@@AlbertoMonroy-lq2vw damn, that's a shame. I thought it was derivative, just another retro boomer shooter with a name trying to outdo ULTRAKILL in its ridiculousness, so Id hoped that it would become more than that
Awesome list! Well done!
Supplice is one I am particularly excited for alongside aeon of ruin.
Its lovely to see the some people still care about old school shooters👍👍👍
Civvie's BoomShootToob will never rest
My wishlist has increased by 4000%
Gonna have to learn Blender and make 3d weapons for these gzdoom games so I can play them in vr.
Fkin awesome.
COMPOUND FRACTURE LOOKS AMAZING
Finally another FPS game that isn't a war themed done to death!!

2:28 the quiet guy of the class
1:56 OMG Agent64! :D yeah, i saw the gameplay....and i played the demo... WORTH IT.
I love that your icon is CALEB!
very well put together video, I didn't know about half of those
Everyone should try the fortunes run demo, its sick!
Some of these are/will be absolute killers. Turbo overkill, expansion for Amid evil, Phantom fury, Incision, Brutal fate, Dread templar, Ultrakill, Hrot, Selaco and probably some more hidden gems.
Thanks for this update bro! Great work, keep it up!
Ultrakill, System Shock, Witchfire, Fortune Run and Sprawl are in my sight
Love the Evil Dead reference.
best compilation ever, thanks
Turbo Overkill is so fucking good! I've also been playing Anomalous, great shooter as well.
Fantastic compilation. Had no clue about many of these games but i am not excited about several of them. Thank you for sharing.
The small clip of Only Lead Can Stop Them is all i need to see, christ that was a frustrating just to look at.
Compound Fracture still looks so good
Coven’s premise is awesome
Awesome video. Good picks, gets right to the point, no bullshit, no fucking around.
Thank You, because now I can fill my wish list.
So many good games will come in 2023😊
many of those games were cool, but compound fracture gave off such an atmosphere holy shit.
The best imo:
Wrath
System Shock
Phantom Fury
Selaco
Compound Fracture
Literally better than 90% of the current games in the market.
exocide, bitter are the ones that stood out to me out of the ones i didn't know about, following those now!
I know its a very debatable thing on whether its old school or not, but Trepang2 has also gotten me excited.
So many hyperfast "lasers vs demons" shooters... Damn, I would LOVE a retro themed stealth FPS! Like "No One Lives Forever 3", or "Deus Ex Invisible War 2"
Also I would love to play "Magic Carpet remake". Why everyone forgot about that game???
Thanks man! All of these looks amazing you got some fine-ass taste
This is the most robust list of retro FPS I've ever seen! +subbed and +liked ❤
You forgot mine :( Pitch Silent on steam!
Really hope the remaster of Kingpin, Life of Crime ends up being released :)
Also Compound Fracture looks really good!
I'll second the vote for Kingpin. It's still one of my all-time favorite fps games. What kills me is the industry keeps releasing any number of Doom-like, Quake-like, CoD-like and "tactical" shooters...

@@J.DeLaPoer yeah! So weird given the success of GTA (I know the vibe and style is different, but you’d think the industry would branch out more out of the GTA style).
Kingpin ... omg, so much memories...
Great video!
another interesting new fps is Citadel 2, its a bit weird but takes a lot of inspiration from Marathon, its probably not releasing soon but looks great
Never heard of it. Is it a sequel to "The Citadel"?
Phantom Fury looks so nice.
I like how any and all DOOM clones have either metal, hard rock, or 80s techno soundtracks
Add Coumpound Fracture Oh its already there amazing compilation I must say.
Excellent vid, as an avid FPS fan thanks :p
The older I get and the more time goes by the more I find myself playing these
I hope the new Rise of the Triad will come out soon. I love that game
Some really good ones on here but Blood West is one of my favorite
Witchfire switching to a roguelite instead of a classic fps was kind of a bummer but I'm still hyped. It would be interesting to see what seasoned FPS devs will do with rogue mechanics.
Very nice video!
Great list! Also could consider adding Disdain in the list as well
I best most of these won't ever leave Early Access, if they even get that far. 3D Realms for example keeps announcing games but they have basically abandoned Wrath: Aeon of Ruin and Graven.
Great compilation!
Great list
Is it just me or do a lot of these look really similar?
There’s only so much variety you can pull off in one genre or subgenre. Standouts for me in the boom shoot category (other than the obvious ones like Dusk/AE/Ultrakill/Ion) are Cultic, Selaco, Boltgun, Prodeus, and Turbo Overkill. Hrot is good too. They’re similar but different execution and each excels at a specific style and combat loop.
nice compilation
‘Well…it’s 3D Realms
Ouch…but fair
this makes me want to program again
Solid vid, thks!
