Hello, I’m interested into some good casula shooter’s that work on linux. My only requirement is that they shouldn’t EVER have to use an external launcher like ea ( have bf3 on steam and the ea launcher just doesn’t wanna work ).

I played games like splitgate, halo infinite and battlebit remastered

      Ion fury and Hedon are solid too, build engine and gzdoom respectively. Selaco though, sometimes it’s almost hard to believe it’s running on the doom engine.

        Agreed, the technical side is super impressive. The 2D character sprites are basically the only constant reminder how old this engine really is.

        Is it actually easy to find a game without bots and hackers, or is it only on certain community servers?

          So for now - fixtf2 worked! There are near zero bots and bot hosters and creators got steam banned. Last scream fortress 2023 was unplayable… this year I almost cried as I was playing through my contracts with no issues.

      Seriously one of the best coop shooters out there. So much character, and by now there are quite a few different mission types making replayability much better than when it first came out. The constant updates are also nothing to scoff at, especially considering the games price.

      This one was a lot of fun, if it’s the one I think it is. Does it have instagib maps where you jump across platforms in space and one hit is one kill? I have very fond memories of that as a kid. Super fun.

    I have tried all these on Linux through proton.

    Dusk - the OG boomer shooter revival game, should be the first game to try to see if you like these kinds of fps.

    Amid evil - beautiful looking FPS instead of firing guns you fire unique magical weapons.

    Ultrakill - extremely difficult movement shooter with a very interesting setting and lore. Its still not fully complete theres like a final layer thats still cooking but what’s there is worth experiencing.

    Selaco - FEAR inspired FPS built in GZDoom somehow. Tight movement, great gunplay, interesting enemy difficulty progression, superior AI that will flank your ass and hammer you with what feels like tactical actions, great interactive environments.

    Turbo ultrakill- one of the most fun and bombastic FPS ive ever played. Play as a merc who gets turned into a living chainsaw as you ruin the plans of wannabe trancendent techno gods and run away super AI one bullet at a time

    Cultic - plays heavy into blood and residents evil 4 inspirations to deliver a very mood atmospheric FPS with the best goddamn dynamite throwing mechanics since OG Blood itself. The single dev is really passionate and is constantly sharing updates to episode 2.

    Ion Fury + ion fury aftershock A love letter to the best parts of build engine games of the 90s. Its incredibly well made build engine game with huge sprawling enviroments and too many secrets. The pistol with auto-lockon is hands down the best pistol Ive every used in any game. Aftershock DLC is even better than the base game.

    Zortch - another passion project made by one person with an in-house engine coded just for the game. The enemy AI moves around a lot and the cartoony graphics and plot make it more of a light hearted title to have fun with like a game you would find on the N64. Its only 5$ and easily worth it.

    Try Ravenfield. It doesn’t get anymore casual than that. The most fun you can have with a battlefield like game without any of the BS.

    Anger Foot natively supports Linux, and I’d consider the gameplay loop to be pretty casual.

    To sum it up, you kick down doors and shoot your way through rooms while having hardcore EDM blasted at you. It has a Hotline Miami vibe to it, but is FPS.

    Combat Master. Like CoD but simpler, no waiting, you start the game and end up playing in less than 2 mins, loading included.
