  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Challenging difficulty
  • Action-packed real-time combat

A minimalist first-person shooter where every firearm is simulated mechanically in detail: you load rounds individually, cock hammers and clear jams by hand. Handling the guns is as demanding as the enemies in short, lethal runs.

IS Defense

Gameplay comes before story

You man a stationary machine gun to hold off waves of attackers rushing toward Europe's shores. Its appeal lies in the direct, frantic firefights where every second you keep the enemy at bay counts.

Postal

Dark, serious atmosphere

A notorious 1997 isometric top-down shooter where you play a deranged gunman blasting through 17 levels. Its deliberately provocative, darkly humorous violence made it a controversial cult classic.

Killing Floor

Dark, serious atmosphere

A wave-based co-op shooter where up to six players fend off hordes of grotesque clone mutants and gear up at the trader between rounds. Class perks, teamwork and the brutal Patriarch boss fight define the experience.

Day of Infamy

Dark, serious atmosphere

A tactical WWII first-person shooter from the makers of Insurgency, built around lethal close-quarters fights and teamwork in co-op and competitive multiplayer.

Insurgency

Gameplay comes before story

A tactical multiplayer shooter with brutally lethal close-quarters combat where a single hit can decide a fight. Teamwork, positioning and objective play matter as much as raw aim, in both competitive and co-op modes.

Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45

Dark, serious atmosphere

A highly realistic multiplayer first-person shooter set on the WWII Eastern Front, where you fight as infantry or crew armored vehicles in large team battles. Weapons are lethal and punishing, making every engagement tense and tactical.
