  • Lots of humour
  • Action-packed real-time combat
  • Focus on a single character

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.

Redneck Rampage

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Serious Sam 3: BFE

Lots of humour

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.

Rise of the Triad: Dark War

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Serious Sam II

Lots of humour

A garish, over-the-top shooting gallery where Sam mows down enormous enemy hordes across bizarre alien worlds with an absurd arsenal. Goofier humor and cartoonish visuals set it apart from its predecessors, and it shines in co-op.

Serious Sam 4

Lots of humour

A over-the-top first-person shooter where you mow down enormous alien hordes with an absurdly large arsenal as Sam Stone. Playable solo or in co-op, it favors speed, spectacle and humor over depth.

Blood II: The Chosen

Lots of humour

A gory 1998 first-person shooter in which undead gunslinger Caleb battles the Cabal in a grim futuristic setting. Black humor, heavy violence and an offbeat weapon arsenal define the experience.
