Well hi there! My name is Jimmy "ZlimBratSki" I'm a dad currently living in the viking land of Sweden.
I try to dig out the most awesome indie shooters out there with a heavy focus on Boomer shooters and then cover them by doing a review/preview/stream or putting them on one of my exciting lists!
My goal with this is to bring value to you!🌟
----------------------------------

This is the best channel for boomer shooter fans
Thanks Timmy! 🔥🌟😁
Very true
True Man 😎👍
It's probably the only one left.
I’m picking up carnal and doomed, they are both only 50 cents right now! I hope Stygian Revery comes to gog or steam.
Hell yeah!! Hope you enjoy them 🍻
Man I can't wait for stygian been waiting over a year already 😔
8:35 I agree damage feedback is super important in shooters. It's so satisfying to shoot enemies in Killing Floor 2 because you can really feel the impact of your weapons. This is one aspect that more developers should focus on
Hard agree! 🔥
This is exactly why I cannot stand canned death animations or enemies just vanishing (which somehow always qualifies as "gibbing")
I havent played many quake-likes but that first game looks fun. Has some wacky melee weapons and a colour palette I find pretty
I think it looks like it needs some polish but that the final thing could be a ton of fun 😊 and I agree the color pallet is appealing in some weird way 😁
This channel is under rated. I have increased my Steam backlog library by 19% in the past month because of this channel! ( I know my backlog is massive, but I'm buying titles so I never run out of games to play when I retire.)
Glad you like the content man! And oh I had no idea of that VR game, I'll have to look it up :0
Very cool! And I just bought Carnal thanks to your recommendation!
(Also, thanks for the shout out at the end of the video! Lol!)
Awesome!! 🔥
My pleasure! Thanks for supporting the channel 🌟🌟
Add time Stamps, lol.
Love your work, thank you, I now have one added to the wishlist and one bought.
Didn't know of any of them.
THanks Zlim, great work as usual.
They are coming later, doing a little experiment haha 😁
Thanks man and glad to hear I got to show you some new games 🔥😁
@@ZlimBratSki, you encouraged me to spend money, haha.
@@wkdisgood Perfect
Lots of cool games in here! I stumbled onto this video and was pleasantly surprised to find Interlopers on the list. Thanks for featuring the game!!
Glad you enjoyed it! And I just had to feature Interlopers as I think it looks very interesting :)
Your whole channel is my medicine. You're dedicated to modern boomer shooters
Aah thanks man
You get some good brownie points for putting CARNAL on here!
I've combed through the Steam Library for Retro FPS games many times in the past and CARNAL stood out for being just 1$ or even cheaper during a sale. It's very, very weird and a bit difficult sometimes but I think considering it's super cheap price it's overall a good game. The level themes are nice and the gameplay while nothing mind blowing is simple and fun.
An easy recommend from me, plus it's really easy to 100% all the achievements
Awesome love me some good brownie points! :)
3:05 Stygian: Revery looks amazing. Probably gonna take a few more years until it gets released since they don't even have a steam page yet. 3:33 Bulletstorm vibes haha!
Yeah I think so too, just saw they got an alpha demo version 2 out tho with three maps and more guns so they seem to be making fairly fast progress atleast 😁
0:30 Quake 3 Arena but single player campaign 😊
Pretty much 😁
11:28 I like blood and gore in shooters but it's not mandatory for me. In this case I don't mind it because the robots look quite original and it makes up for the lack of blood
Yeah I feel pretty much the same, would have been cool with one or two living things as enemy types tho 😁
never heard of your channel and i don’t care much for “boomer shooters” but this is a good video and i hope it reaches people who would be interested in these games
I appreciate your honesty and kind words, so thanks man!
Thank you for watching!
Did you know of any of the games on the list? And which one was your favorite?

I think Stygian Revery and Shell Soldier looks promising. But for the Shell game, I think the same way, it's too clean. A game like this needs something special, like complete destruction (Teardown, Selaco, Red Faction etc.) or an physics overkill (Trepang2). These games have surely potential, but at the bottom line, they are very generic and basic. Hope they will get good. Good video Zlim and thx for the info 👍
Totally agree with you! However sometimes just a generic good feeling shooter is all I need haha 😁 But it has to have something to make it stick out from all other games for sure :)
Thanks predator ❤️
12:40 Devilated looks super fun! Hope it will get finished one day
Suuuuch a cool game!!
I bought Anomalous like a year ago and that looks totally different from what I remember. I think that game got massively overhauled because I don't remember grapple mechanics even.
Dev seems very passionate about making the game better and better which is awesome!
Another great list Zlim, how is it I've never heard of Anomalous? I gotta check that one out.
Thanks man! Jack if you're not in the Discord join it! In the near future I will give away two copies of just that game, all info is always posted in the disc when the time comes
I looked up Spellbound, and there's already a VR game of the same name on steam....
The Tron one reminds me of Audiosurf (which always reminded me of Tron).
5:18 Another SPAS-12 set on pump mode AND, as per typical, its stock is permanently folded up into its storage position.
9:11 No sights?! If there's no ADS, then it's just an aesthetic choice, but I can't help noticing it. Seems to be a trope that's unique to the 21st century. All the time we're seeing flat-top firearms with Picatinny rails without sights in pop culture (or a fixed front sight but no rear sight). I think I first noticed it on 'The Walking Dead', then realized that it was everywhere. Like, how does anyone (directors, prop masters, etc.) not understand that if a flat-top firearm doesn't already have sights you're expected to get some and put them on there?! Video games get a lot of their bad habits from movies (like leaving folding or collapsible stocks in their storage position for no reason).
Edit/Note: And sometimes the prop master remembers to put sights on the gun, but the actors leave the sights folded. Yeah, even sights can fold for storage.
9:42 "Silver Phoenix" reminds me of "Red Falcon" from Contra!
10:15 'WALL-E' meets Serious Sam!
10:33 Retro "record player" style of machine gun, maybe?! Like a Lewis Gun or a DP-series machine gun. The DP was muh fave in Red Orchestra 2.
I got access to a closed Alpha on the Tron, well see if it lives up to my hopes for it
Haha damn another shotty bites the dust
LOOL Wall-E meets serious sam will be my title for a future review
@@ZlimBratSki If you like WALL-E, you might also like '9' which has an aesthetic similar to Little Big Planet which came out before the feature film, '9', but after the original short film. Also, '9' leans more into the dystopian Dieselpunk aesthetic (and Shane Acker refers to the main characters as "Stitchpunks").
@@judsongaiden9878 Oh I saw that one back when it released and loved it!
Nice list, and I would probably buy DOOMED & CARNAL for a total of 0.88 euro, so I'm quite happy to both discover new FPS, and at such a price too 😂
Love to hear it man! 🔥🔥
Your videos have high quality as a million view sub they are very good you will blow up soon bro, I watch your stuff all the time
Thank you!! 🔥🔥🌟🌟
I just bought Doomed after your video (90% off on steam) and the pre-alpha Stygian Revery is downloading.
Love to hear it! Hope you enjoy 🔥
OMG!!! I'm soooo happy I found this channel!!!!!! I feel like a complete GOOSE for not knowing about these games!
So happy to have you here! 🥳
I love showing games I hope few people heard of so don't feel like a goose 😁✊
If you like the shotgun in Shell Soldier, may I recommend Guncaster? It has an 8 barrel pump action shotgun that fires every one of those barrels at the same time. With appropriate recoil and appropriate carnage.
Nice I will def check it out thanks!
@@ZlimBratSki is a doom mod
@@soniaaparecidaoliveira5617 I noticed, but thanks :)
trepang2 don't forget about that! it's like FEAR and Max payne mixed together with modern fps twist!
I have a full review out on that :) but it's very well known compared to the games on the list
There actually is a Tron FPS called Tron 2.0 by Monolith Productions.
I never got around to playing that one, is it good?
@@ZlimBratSki It's okay, good graphics but confusing gameplay mechanics.
Glad to see there were some games featured that desperately need more attention (and a few that actually weren't on my radar)! I got to play a a closed beta of Cyber Combat lately, and it's already so polished I can't understand the dev didn't release it as a demo for Next Fest. Let me just say, it's all you hope fore, and more.
I just got access to it as well, now I'm even more excited to test it
Interlopers looks like you mixed Serious Sam 1st Encounter with Generation zero
Haha yeah kind of 😁
carnal deserves more recognition.
Gonna get it now
She’ll solider looks good as does interlopers!
There are so many titles in development right now. I can list a few you might have missed here or in earlier videos: They Came From Dimendions X - completely unique experience with unique game mechanics, Retchid - a lovelettere to System Shock 2, Fallen Aces - one of the best "cartoonish" looking games out there. Also: Hyperviolent, Trepang2 (Fear on steroids), Fortune's Run, Incision, The Invincible, Arthurian Legends, COVEN, Exophobia, Voltage High Society. We are being spoiled these days.
It's an insane amount of games coming and I love it, just have to filter the good from the bad :)
I covered every single one of those games in previous videos :) Hyperviolent and Trepang2 even has full reviews on my channel.
Here is the biggest list you can find on this platform of upcoming boomer shooters: ruclips.net/video/XdgPEtTa7Qo/видео.html
@@ZlimBratSki Thanks! Keep up the good work! Nice day to you from Central Europe (Hungary)!
@@Szederp Nice day to you as well from Sweden 🤜🤛
Shell Soldier looks like F.E.A.R meets Dusk
Really cool :)
Got Carnal for fifty cents. Haven't played it yet but it actually looks kind of good. Better than it has any right to be anyway. There's a bit of a Slayers X vibe too it. That Stygian Revery game also looks like something I'd like if it ever comes out.
I would also like to recommend another weird game that didn't make it onto this list but should have, Calcium Contract. I played the demo and it was actually really good and I can't wait for the full version.
Awesome to hear it!
Oooh I meant to play that during next fest and then completely forgot about it.. thanks for the reminder!
Thank you for showing me all of these games, some look better then other but appreciate the video!
My pleasure! :)
Have you covered/played Zortch ? It flew under everyone's radar but it's a neat little title. A bland of Unreal/Quake 2 and Sin.
Here you go Kirill :)
ruclips.net/video/lKxVNmrwVZU/видео.html
That game 1 minute in... Is it just me or is the gun recoil working in reverse?
Haha maybe it is 😂
Awesome list, I'm definitely going to play several of these. I really like FPS games with rpg elements so I might check out Devilated first.
Thanks! Glad to hear you liked it!
If FPS rpgs is your jam you should check out Core Decay and Beta Decay they both look really promising! But not out yet :)
Dude! Your videos are some of the most unique ever! You deserve a million followers. Thanks and keep it up.
You're too kind! I appreciate the words tho, thanks for making my day 🤜🤛😁
!ITS MY BIRTHDAY GUYS!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
@@ZlimBratSki HAPPY 12TH YEAR ANYVERSARY DOOM CHAMPIONS SAGA
Anomalous looks sick.
It's really cool! And here is a live stream I did playing it if you want to see more of it: ruclips.net/user/liveWohv6f2FdrI
Shell Soldier looks like FEAR meets Out Of Action by Doku. Another you REALLY need to check out dude
I know of it but we had 0 updates in 1,5 year so im guessing its abandoned :(
Ghost Reaper is Deadlink at home
I'll take it 😁
What’s bad about DOOMED’s engine?
The main problem is that the FPS creator engine is very unoptimized and extremely hard to get running well.
I have idea. What about boomer shooters for mobile? You could make a list of them.
That's a great idea! But right now I have so much content for PC that I want to get through and seeing I dont really game on mobile myself I wont cover that now. But who knows maybe in the future.
Thanks for the suggestion tho :)
@@ZlimBratSki There is so much going on on mobile. Gzdoom on mobile, regular games etc. and controller support is a big deal and important topic to cover. Controller support makes games so much better on mobile and gives planty of room for making videos. Which games not support controllers at all, which one supports specific controller and which one supports all controllers including playstation, xbox and nintendo. Believe me with controller support you will enjoy. Its like playing new doom on ps5.
@@xxMKtooStronk__ Yeah I tried it :) I used to play some xbox cloud games with controller on mobile and my son still does, I just dont enjoy it as much as a PC experience right now. I'm pretty sure that will change with time tho, in the future most things will be mobile
@@ZlimBratSki I agree that PC is ultra experience and nobody can beat him. And yes if you ever try to do that you can also test and make a videos about which tehnology is the best for playing mobile shooters on tv and turn mobile into console. I try it with bluetooth and its too slow. Maybe some super special awesome cabels can fix the problem. Shooters are very popular on consoles so if mobile can be used as console then its great.
don't panic... I'm here!
Heeeey welcome missed ya!
Great video like always
Thanks man! 🌟🔥
This is my favorite of ur videos in a while but man that transition sound effect is obnoxious 😂
Thanks
Hahaha i'll see what I can do about it in the future
"Doomed"? Seriously? That's like me making an FPS and calling it "Call Of Dutied". Like come on lol. Were they just hoping to slip into the algorithms by having a near identical name to the best FPS of all time? I think so.
Guys I'm forming a metal band called Metallicah. A completely original name I came up with all on my own.
Haha I agree the name... It is what it is 😂 They game is still said to be a good time even with the name and its currently 90% off on steam sale
announcing a new totally original retro FPS called Quaked
@@LeFaucheur 😂😂
Chapter titles are really messed up.
That's because I haven't put in any titles, youtube did it on it's own with automatic chapters, I can see it didn't do the best of job haha. Thanks for the heads up!
Nice video, the boomer shooters is beatiful
Thank you! :)
If Retro Shooters are called Boomer Shooters. Then do we call modern shooters like call of duty modern warfare Zoomer Shooters?
Retro shooters are still retro shooters. Then you have modern retro shooter that got the name boomer shooter from a meme of a zoomer looking back at the gold old retro shooters and wishing games were that good now (Like boomers typically do, looking back and saying things were better before) and now the wave of modern retro shooters then got the name Boomer shooters
@@ZlimBratSki
I see,thank you for answering my question:)
nice video
Thanks man!
Is the FPS engined used on dino trauma ?
Nah it's running on the Unity engine :)
Coop! Yeah 😂🫡
Always nice when a game has it rather then not 🫠
❤❤❤❤❤ Very nice
Thank you Wollf ❤️❤️
boomer shooters in steam sale?
We cover most of them in the Discord, your welcome to join :)
Stygian Revery release date?
That's a good question, I'm a little afraid that it's recently been abandoned but I got not confirmation on anything in regards to it right now
@@ZlimBratSki Thanks
Awesome list! Thanks for mentioning Anomalous, I believe it will destroy. 😉 I can also really recommend Carnal, it's fun, violent, stupid, gory and retro, and really cheap. And complete. Go for it. 😉
My pleasure! I finally got the game as well so im dropping a review in the near future (talking about anomalous)
Juegazos
Please stop abusing the term Boomers when you are actually meaning Generation X. There were no shooters when the Boomers grew up during the 50ies and 60ies.
I will not as it is not referring to the generation but is simply a name grown from a meme and now defines a sub genre in FPS games.
@@ZlimBratSki: Though the meme refers to people growing up during the Baby Boomers in the 50ies and 60ies. You are giving the Boomers way too much credit by spreading this missuse of the term.
@@spelkult The meme refers to a guy in hes 30's looking back at games like quake and doom saying "it was better back then" like boomer always say hence the name
