Boomer Shooter

"Boomer Shooters" are a sub-genre of first-person shooter (FPS) games, known for harking back to the fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled action of 1990s classics like DOOM, Quake, and Duke Nukem. They emphasize run-and-gun gameplay, maze-like level design, and an arsenal of diverse weapons. With little regard for realism, these games prioritize explosive action, non-linear exploration, and often feature fantastical, over-the-top enemies and environments.

Should be compatible with Build Engine Randomizer since we just modify map files, but I don't have a VR headset (yet) to test with.

Also supports Blood, Shadow Warrior, and Powerslave

Quake Pro League Championship-Final Day is live now, top 6 players left. The format is 1v1 Duel

If you aren't familiar, Quake Champions is a free-to-play shooter on Steam and, in my opinion the best fps Esport. If you log in now you'll get a free Quake Con 2023 skin :)

Chasm: The Rift, also known as Chasm: The Shadow Zone, is a first-person shooter video game developed by Action Forms and published in 1997 by GT Interactive Software, WizardWorks, and Megamedia Corp. Intended to compete with Quake, the game was released after GT Interactive lost publishing rights to Activision. The player embodies an unnamed Marine tasked with thwarting the invasion of the "Timestrikers", mutant beings that threaten different time epochs. The gameplay journey spans various locations, from modern military bases to ancient Pharaonic tombs, typically characterized by dark, catacomb-like corridors. A standout feature of the game was the ability to dismember enemies.

Originating from Ukraine, Chasm: The Rift is recognized as an innovative FPS title from its era and the first Eastern European "boomer shooter". It offers an exhilarating journey through the Corridors of Time and the thrill of ripping limbs from monstrous foes with the iconic BladeGun. The game also features an advanced weather system. With recent updates, players can now experience this late 90's classic on modern PCs, complete with full 4K support, enhanced sound design, and achievement systems. It's also been localized into twelve languages, making it accessible to a wider global audience.
