Hello, I’m interested into some good casula shooter’s that work on linux. My only requirement is that they shouldn’t EVER have to use an external launcher like ea ( have bf3 on steam and the ea launcher just doesn’t wanna work ).

I played games like splitgate, halo infinite and battlebit remastered

      Ion fury and Hedon are solid too, build engine and gzdoom respectively. Selaco though, sometimes it’s almost hard to believe it’s running on the doom engine.

        Agreed, the technical side is super impressive. The 2D character sprites are basically the only constant reminder how old this engine really is.

      Seriously one of the best coop shooters out there. So much character, and by now there are quite a few different mission types making replayability much better than when it first came out. The constant updates are also nothing to scoff at, especially considering the games price.

        Is it actually easy to find a game without bots and hackers, or is it only on certain community servers?

          So for now - fixtf2 worked! There are near zero bots and bot hosters and creators got steam banned. Last scream fortress 2023 was unplayable… this year I almost cried as I was playing through my contracts with no issues.

    Try Ravenfield. It doesn’t get anymore casual than that. The most fun you can have with a battlefield like game without any of the BS.

    Anger Foot natively supports Linux, and I’d consider the gameplay loop to be pretty casual.

    To sum it up, you kick down doors and shoot your way through rooms while having hardcore EDM blasted at you. It has a Hotline Miami vibe to it, but is FPS.

    Combat Master. Like CoD but simpler, no waiting, you start the game and end up playing in less than 2 mins, loading included.

      Yeah, runs on Linux fine (my experience was running it from Steam), looks good and is defintelly a shooter.

      Turns out it’s not really my kind of game because it’s a succession of set-pieces (a sequence of fully fledged 3D areas were player progression is mostly linear) but for those more into the shooting and less into exploring or building angles it should be good fun as it’s definitely all about the shooting your way through enemy strongpoints (not really about defending from enemy waves).

        Yep that’s accurate. There is some basic exploring with the secrets but it is sort of tacked on to the main set pieces. Very much an arcade feel.

        Playing through now. It’s really pretty well done. Lots of little humorous touches.
