Serious Sam 3: BFE

Shooting and gunplay

A loud old-school shooter where you face enormous monster hordes across ruined Egypt with a huge arsenal, no cover, just constant strafing and firing. Its chaos shines brightest in large co-op sessions.

Shadow Warrior

Shooting and gunplay

A classic 1997 Build-engine shooter where you play ninja Lo Wang, slicing and blasting through enemies with a katana, shurikens and crude, over-the-top humor. Its mix of melee and ranged weapons and twisty level design sets it apart from Duke Nukem 3D.

Ion Fury

Lots to discover

A fast, 90s-style Build engine shooter with huge, twisty levels packed with secrets, explosive weapons and a wisecracking heroine in cyberpunk Neo DC. No regenerating health, just run and gun.

Shadow Warrior

Shooting and gunplay

You hack and blast your way through over-the-top demon levels as Lo Wang, mixing sword slashes with an arsenal of ridiculous guns. The Build engine's multi-level rooms and sharp, irreverent humor make every stage a playful romp.

Serious Sam: The Second Encounter

Sci-fi setting

A fast old-school first-person shooter where you mow down enormous hordes of enemies in wide open arenas as Sam. With tongue-in-cheek humor, plenty of secrets and co-op play, it is pure arcade action.

Rise of the Triad: Dark War

Shooting and gunplay

A fast, over-the-top retro shooter built on a Wolfenstein 3D-style engine, with jump pads, multi-level maps and absurd weapons. It is tongue-in-cheek and relentlessly high-paced.

Quake II

Sci-fi setting

A landmark sci-fi shooter: a lone marine fights through the industrial hellscape of Stroggos against a cybernetic alien army. It delivers fast gunplay, interconnected hub levels, a pounding metal soundtrack, and influential deathmatch multiplayer.

Redneck Rampage

Lots of humour

A crude retro Build-engine first-person shooter where you play hillbilly Leonard, blasting through Southern stereotypes, aliens and absurd locations to get Bubba home. Its over-the-top humor and redneck setting make it stand out.

Doom II: Hell on Earth

Lots to discover

The legendary shooter classic sends you and your Super Shotgun through maze-like levels packed with demons that have overrun Earth. Blistering, relentless combat, hidden secrets and nasty new foes like the Arch-vile keep it a genre benchmark to this day.
