Duke Nukem 3D

Lots of humour

A cult classic boomer shooter starring a wisecracking action hero blasting aliens through interactive, maze-like city levels packed with secrets. Its crude satirical humor, inventive weapons and destructible environments made it an icon of 90s FPS design.

Metal Slug 3

Challenging difficulty

A classic 2D run-and-gun shooter with lovingly animated pixel art, zany humor and wild twists like zombies, aliens and rideable vehicles. Fast, punishing arcade action best enjoyed solo or with a friend.

Mothergunship

Sci-fi setting

A frantic bullet-hell FPS where you assemble ridiculously oversized guns from modular parts and blast through randomized ship levels against robotic invaders. The gun crafting is the core hook, delivering chaotic fun, including in co-op.

Metal Slug 6

Challenging difficulty

A classic arcade run-and-gun with lovingly animated pixel art and chaotic, explosive levels. The new Weapon Stock system lets you carry and swap between two weapons, while the game stays punishing and tongue-in-cheek.

Helldivers 2

Co-op or multiplayer

A chaotic co-op shooter steeped in satirical militarism, where up to four players call down orbital strikes and supplies via stratagem inputs and, thanks to always-on friendly fire, frequently blow each other up. A persistent galactic war has the whole community fighting over planets together.

Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core

Co-op or multiplayer

A cooperative first-person roguelite shooter where a team of dwarves tunnels through fully destructible, procedurally generated caves on Hoxxes IV, fighting alien swarms. Teamwork, class roles and progression across runs are the core appeal.

Helldivers

Co-op or multiplayer

A top-down shooter for up to four players where teamwork is everything: you input stratagem codes to call in airstrikes and supplies, and friendly fire constantly threatens chaos. The satirical militaristic-democracy setting gives it a tongue-in-cheek tone.

Apex Legends

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast free-to-play battle royale hero shooter set in the Titanfall universe, where squads of three legends with unique abilities fight to be the last team standing. Slick movement, tight gunplay and squad synergy define it.
