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
Combat Master. Like CoD but simpler, no waiting, you start the game and end up playing in less than 2 mins, loading included.
If you are talking about multiplayer :
- The Finals
- Insurgency Sandstorm
- Hunt: Showdown 1896
- Hell Let Loose
- CS 2
- No More Room in Hell 1&2
Many options !
Hunt: Showdown isn’t a casual shooter though
With the exception of the last one which is a co-op zombie shooter, these are all intensely sweaty competitive multiplayer games. The Finals is the most “casual” and that’s a battle royale which is generally not considered a casual genre. I:S is literally a milsim…
Serious Sam
Ofcourse the gane made in my country got recommended.
I finished it already but might be the time to replay it.
Half Life 2.
Mullet Madjack.
Tf2 is the vwst war themed hat simulator out there
Roboquest
I can recommend Selaco. It’s built on GZDoom and one of the best shooters I’ve played in the last years.
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.
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.
Team Fortress 2
i was about to shit my pants that this wasn’t mentioned. i love this game. and we’re currently botless.
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.
Well shit, I guess it’s time to reinstall
Xonotic, an open-source arena shooter
This is pretty fun, thanks!
+1 for Xonotic. It scratches the Quake 3: Arena itch extremely well.
I remember playing that when it was Nexuiz (the first time). I may have to crank it up again now that I’ve been reminded of it.
Any Boomer Shooters like Dusk, ULTRAKILL, Zortch, Cultic, ROBOQUEST, etc.
Open Arena
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.
More like this type of game:
Mullet Mad Jack
Post Void
Deep Rock Galactic. Rock and stone, miner!
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.
