Man imagine the game FPS set in mid 2000s. Urban enviorments, slow mo , woo shooter, dual wield guns, SWAT enemies. The tone should be like SWAT 4 but with green lamps and lasers like in Splinter cell. Weapons should be usp45, automatic glock, Mac 10, UZI, UMP45, MP5 , m249, m4 with no atachments except grip and flashlight and semi automatic shotguns like spas12 and usas 12. There should be upgrades for weapons and it should be simple 3 per weapon and final upgrade should make weapon chrome and black.Player upgrades should be dual wield pistols, smgs, shotguns, rifles,Saw... Grenades should be artisticly wih red blinkin thing like in HL2. Blood and gore is needed and breaking glass on swat helmet would be awesome. Music should be tactical,adrenaline combined with breakbeat rythm, also guitars. Location should be NY. And physics for enemies should be like in MoH Airborne.I like to imagine all that in Unreal Engine 4 with destructable enviorments and lots of glass shattering. That's Woo shooter i would like to play.
Been looking at this game for a while don't know if you are still giving keys away but I would love to play this destructible environment bullet time madness! And even if not thank you for the chance.
Sweet! I hope to be a winner, since this game looks like a lot of fun! Plus, any game that plays like F.E.A.R. but has none of the....well *fear*, is cool in my book!
Someone should make a Woo Shooter in the Blood Dragon setting. Given that Blood Dragon is inspired by goofy sci-fi action movies of the 80's and 90's, it would make a lot of sense.
We kinda need more shooters that just allow us to just manipulate the environment like that, making holes in walls, floors, throw props around, along with great shooting in general, luckily indie devs are the chads that they are and can provide them.
The devs of this game are my favorite devs in the indie space right now, Floating Door the composer is now a good friend of mine as well, Severed Steel gets 200% love in my household🔥🔥🔥
One "Woo shooter" I used to play a ton of back in the day is "Double Action: Boogaloo". It's pretty much a free-to-play action game made in the Source engine. It's a bit janky but also a ton of fun.
There's a mutator for running on a wall during a dive, Like Water. It's a bit OP, but there you go. There's also a toggle in the options to keep you from turning upside down in air.
That's not quite what I'm asking for. I'm asking for the ability to hold a button down allowing you to then flip in the air. I've played fps games in space that worked like this and it was pretty intuitive.
This game is so fucking cool and has tons of content now, easily one of my favorite FPS games that’s come out recently. The custom mapping support especially has added a ton to the game. It’s my go-to comfort shooter.
This game not only looks good but they manage to keep good visual clarity. In a game with a lot of going on the screen. This is not that easy to accomplish - when you develop a new game you're forced to include all these graphical effects, at the same time you want to keep the good, unique look. Which is easier said than done. Because of that some modern games gives you that feel of "I've played it already" despite running that game for the first time.
Love the look of this game so much, heavily reminds me of maximum action with the overall john woo vibes with the gunplay, a bit of titanfall 2 with the movement and, the hotline miami games with the constant weapon swapping and faster frantic pace caused by that, Cant wait to pick this up one day
The rogue steel mode feels like something from GFR not gonna lie, especially that part where after every level you get to select something that can either help or fuck you over.
List of Woo shooters - Max Payne - Fear - The Specialists The Specialists is one of the absolute best and is less known. It is a multiplayer mod for Half-Life 1. It has good offline bots, so it is fully playable. 2 types of slow motion in multiplayer, you can dodge bullets, has katanas and throwing knives and kung fu and acrobatics like wall jumps and dives, recoil works in a way that you can control it, you get more frag points for stylish kills. Characters and levels are modeled after old school Woo movies like Face Off. There is a LOT of blood. Bullets sound and feel very powerful. It is amazing, but since it is a mod, it is less known. Still good but less: - Stranglehold - Maximum Action (early access) - Total Overdose - Superhot (I am on the fence on this one) - Hotline Miami
Double Action Boogaloo is a game inspired by The Specialists. Hard Bullet is a woo shooter for VR. My Friend Pedro is a 2.5D woo shooter. Not sure Super Hot and Hotline Miami count as woo shooters.
Honestly, this game looks like classic Mirror's Edge took a line of cocaine from the Matrix's stash before getting utterly jacked in the replayability department.
I think Jarek and Civvie were the only two people on Earth to play FEAR as Monolith intended on release, the rest of us, just tried to play to its "horror" trappings to much, but, to be fair that's exactly what the franchise was doing by FEAR3 so...
Rguelite mode looks like it has a lot of effort put in. I wonder if they used their procedural generation algorithm as a tool for main campaign levels too or fully hand crafted.
Finally someone makes video about this absolute banger of a game! After Doom Eternal this is finally great product. This is how you make a game, it is fun, approachable, fast but not too fast, chaotic yet you know what you do, it combines mechanics in new great way( slow mo, parkour but also having just one arm so no reloads for you, canon arm). One of my top five games these years, and for me top 1fps indie game. Also that soundtrack.This game is so good, that after buying this, I feel like I am still robbing this developer. The developer cares for this game and improves it. Also this game does not try to be brutally hard as other fast paced games, you choose your difficulty and enjoy challenge. Also with RTX it looks hell good)like some AAA games should learn about style from this guy).
Haven't tried the game yet but i've known about for quite awhile. I'm interested in both the game and your video. Always looking forward to your videos ☺️
I love how indie shooters are evolving to be more than "just" boomer shooters. Don't get me wrong I love them too, but it is so refreshing seeing all those styles of shooters that were apparently lost to time being revived. Hope some day we also get an "Halo-like" indie shooter
Oooooooh, upside-down shooty action! Love when games let me hang from the jungle branches like that. Only wish more of them did. Being a first-person badass might be fun, but being a first-person badass who's upside-down... it's just on another level, ya know :)
bought this game off of this video, and I must say, the gameplay is so addicting and the mix it with the insane soundtrack the game has. I blew through the story, which i thought served its purpose and I've been doing the random generated runs since, and boy oh boy, best money i've spent. Hope to see more things like this!
I wonder if there will ever be an fps game that has elements of Woo shooters, Half-like shooters and Boomer shooters where it would have smart AI ala FEAR with tight arena-like level design somewhat reminiscent of boomer shooters (maybe slower paced than Doom) with player-induced story pacing like Half Life. What a game that might be like.
Huh kinda strange how many FPS games just go the physics or gun+vehicle focus that half life and Halo popularized. This is a sub genre I didn't know I needed.
If the devs ever make a sequel I hope the "like water" modifier is just part of the game right off the bat. I understand why they consider it unbalanced in the current game, but it's do much fun to use and allows for much more freedom in movement.
Well better to buy it than take a key. Because it's an indie game and it won't be that expensive. The developers would get money and support, they will realize there are people who enjoy such kind of action. More woo shooters will be made also.
So the Severed Steel devs are AWESOME and sent me 5 extra keys. I'll select more winners!

That's awesome! The game looks sick! would love to give it a go myself
COME GET SOME!!!

Hey Jarek, I'm a dev on Sev Steel. Just wanted to say I'm happy you enjoyed the game and thanks for giving it a try!
I only wish I covered it sooner but I guess showing off all the content added in updates isn't so bad.
Amazing game. Also, quick question. Does the player have true fps, or are there separate leg animations for when you slide and kick?
@@ruffleraveninc3602 thanks. The character body is one mesh, so arms are on same model as legs.
@@mattwla Wow, so the whole thing is animated as one piece? That must’ve been a complicated anim tree.
@@ruffleraveninc3602 unreal has a lot of convenient functions to blend and manipulate animations so it wasn't too difficult!
Someone should make a Woo Shooter in the Blood Dragon setting. Given that Blood Dragon is inspired by goofy sci-fi action movies of the 80's and 90's, it would make a lot of sense.
Check out Turbokill. Its not wacky but close enough
@@mursefaneca I played the demo. It's fun, but gameplaywise, it's more similar to Doom Eternal than F.E.A.R.
I hear you, but imagine this: a Far Cry game set in the Australian outback. Called Far Crikey
Turbo overkill is a boomer shooter, very different than a woo shooter.
It's being developed now. Look at Mathchief's video
This game's combo of gameplay and music activated my almonds so powerfully that I hyperfocused straight through the campaign. It was amazing
the slo motion and kicking are dope as hell not to mention how the stage gets all torn up is awesome too
👍
We kinda need more shooters that just allow us to just manipulate the environment like that, making holes in walls, floors, throw props around, along with great shooting in general, luckily indie devs are the chads that they are and can provide them.
The Dev even did an interview with David Jaffey a while back lol. Apparently the guy was a teacher before this game
The devs of this game are my favorite devs in the indie space right now, Floating Door the composer is now a good friend of mine as well, Severed Steel gets 200% love in my household🔥🔥🔥
Thanks to every one that joined over on twitch! If you want to hang out and talk, consider giving a follow. www.twitch.tv/jarek4gamingdragon

Hey man your videos are awesome and it got me through my lunch breaks at work. Thanks for being the most consistent RUclipsr on this platform.

Always good to see a new Jarek video!
Amost gives me a “what if Doom and Superhot had a baby” kind of vibes but with neon everywhere. Looks like a ton of fun
Didn't knew about it, it looks super fun! Thanks for sharing.
I keep playing it after 100%'d it. It's insanely cool. Good time to whoever gets it.
Nothing like another day for Jarek content 😊
Once I started playing I couldn't stop playing. Played it for like 4 hours straight. Really wanna play it again.
Glad you covered this one, hope you have a great weekend
this game looks REEEAAALYYY nice, just the concept is cool, and great vid as always Jarek.
The music in this game is great, some really nice jungle drum and bass! I'd totally listen to this outside of the game.
THE DEV ADDED LEVEL EDITOR! It definately deserves a revisit
Been subbed and have been enjoying your stuff for years!
Just played SUPERHOT a while back and this game looks like its right up my alley
Another great video Jarek! Keep up the good work!
Yes! More Half-likes and woo shooters especially in VR. This game reminds me of Serento
I try watching your videos as fast as possible keep up the great work
Love the look of this game so much, heavily reminds me of maximum action with the overall john woo vibes with the gunplay, a bit of titanfall 2 with the movement and, the hotline miami games with the constant weapon swapping and faster frantic pace caused by that, Cant wait to pick this up one day
As someone who just got a pc and experienced PC gaming, this is definitely a game I need to check out
The rogue steel mode feels like something from GFR not gonna lie, especially that part where after every level you get to select something that can either help or fuck you over.
I love woo shooters so much, there's a kinda beauty in the destruction
The weewoo jump around and blast things in slo-mo looks super interesting and fun! Will have to keep my eyes on the game.
I remember having A TON of fun with the demo when it came out like a year and a half ago
When I saw the game for the first time my reaction was just:This shit slaps
A styalized looking woo-shooter with a STRONG focus on gameplay with encouragement to use as many weapons as possible. NICE!
The destruction paired with the shooting looks so satisfying
My go to youtuber for reviewing fps's... love it man keep it up
I love your content. And this game looks fun af
We need an imsim Woo shooter hybrid that be ballin like imagine passing a speech check in the most Woo way possible
I've been wanting to buy it for a while, nice vid!!
We really don't get a lof of Woo shooters huh? This one looks lovely
Jarek when he sees the fov slider: Weapon unlocked
Wow. This game looks absolutely amazing.
Looks like the glorious neon lovechild of SuperHot and Maximum Action 👍
That Time Splitters music in the background reminded me that we still don’t have a time splitter remake. We still don’t even have a pc release 😢
Holy shit this game looks stupidly fun. I... wow. I never knew I needed more Woo Shooters in my life until now, and I love the FEAR franchise
Babe wake up, Jarek is talking about a woo shooter
I've never heard of this game! It looks sick!
love the videos Jarek, keep up the good work
Have had this on my wishlist for a while
List of Woo shooters
- Max Payne
- Fear
- The Specialists
The Specialists is one of the absolute best and is less known. It is a multiplayer mod for Half-Life 1. It has good offline bots, so it is fully playable. 2 types of slow motion in multiplayer, you can dodge bullets, has katanas and throwing knives and kung fu and acrobatics like wall jumps and dives, recoil works in a way that you can control it, you get more frag points for stylish kills. Characters and levels are modeled after old school Woo movies like Face Off. There is a LOT of blood. Bullets sound and feel very powerful. It is amazing, but since it is a mod, it is less known.
Still good but less:
- Stranglehold
- Maximum Action (early access)
- Total Overdose
- Superhot (I am on the fence on this one)
- Hotline Miami
Double Action Boogaloo is a game inspired by The Specialists.
Hard Bullet is a woo shooter for VR.
My Friend Pedro is a 2.5D woo shooter.
Not sure Super Hot and Hotline Miami count as woo shooters.
@@bruhtholemew agree, I did not like them very much, so I skipped them. But they indeed are part of the genre
Honestly, this game looks like classic Mirror's Edge took a line of cocaine from the Matrix's stash before getting utterly jacked in the replayability department.
I think Jarek and Civvie were the only two people on Earth to play FEAR as Monolith intended on release, the rest of us, just tried to play to its "horror" trappings to much, but, to be fair that's exactly what the franchise was doing by FEAR3 so...
Played through this on the switch recently. Despite some performance issues it was a fun time
Rguelite mode looks like it has a lot of effort put in.
I wonder if they used their procedural generation algorithm as a tool for main campaign levels too or fully hand crafted.

I love woo shooters. Love the video as always Jarek! Have a good weekend!
If you play the fire fight mode and unlock mutations it allows you to wall run after a dodge it's called water flow or some thing.
Good to know they've made much more stuff then was shown in demo.
Still looks pretty fun, might pick it up on sale eventually
I love how indie shooters are evolving to be more than "just" boomer shooters. Don't get me wrong I love them too, but it is so refreshing seeing all those styles of shooters that were apparently lost to time being revived. Hope some day we also get an "Halo-like" indie shooter
There is a VR mod in development for this one too which would be very fun :D
Played the demo a while back and loved it, the movement is incredible
This looks fun. Definitely trying it out!
Oooooooh, upside-down shooty action!
Love when games let me hang from the jungle branches like that.
Only wish more of them did. Being a first-person badass might be fun, but being a first-person badass who's upside-down... it's just on another level, ya know :)

I blew through the story, which i thought served its purpose and I've been doing the random generated runs since, and boy oh boy, best money i've spent. Hope to see more things like this!
I feel like so few games have captured the fun of Fear, there have been games that are similar and bangers but Fear is just top tier
I love the art style of this game... also having a megaman hand cannon must be awesome.
This looks much cooler than I thought
I'm really hoping for more games like STALKER and Metro, atmospheric survival but still have a great story.
I wonder if there will ever be an fps game that has elements of Woo shooters, Half-like shooters and Boomer shooters where it would have smart AI ala FEAR with tight arena-like level design somewhat reminiscent of boomer shooters (maybe slower paced than Doom) with player-induced story pacing like Half Life.
What a game that might be like.
I really like the destruction of the environment! Cool looking game!
Not sure if it is too late for the contest, but whatever, long time fan of your channel!!
Huh kinda strange how many FPS games just go the physics or gun+vehicle focus that half life and Halo popularized. This is a sub genre I didn't know I needed.
Nobody going to mention the Time Splitters 2 music? 🔥
While we're at it, let's have more third person shooters with mechanics like this, Max Payne and Stranglehold stuff
the game have some super hot vibes as well, looks really great on the gameplay part
Unable to reload reminds me of Mirror's Edge, which is cool
Finally hardboiled mixed in colored superhot!
Tried the demo for this and enjoyed it but haven't had a chance to play the full game. Might now because of this video.
good shit been meaning to check this game out for a while
Severed steel looks amazing I would love to play this it reminds me of fear because it is a woo shooter I think as well
Hi Jarek, I'd be interested to see your take on games like Stalker or Chernobylite.
Remember playing the demo for it ages ago.
Great Video (like always). Stay awsome!
Superhot meets red faction 1. Lovely game
6:46 this feel like you describing "emotional damage" xDD
bro, I've played through like every FEAR game and this looks like so much fun. I'd love a key :)
Never heard of it, but I played all of the fear episodes.
That's mouse smoothing, it's a common oversight for most unreal engine games. You can disable it if you find the ini tweaks.
It's definitely not mouse smoothing. I made sure it was disabled.
Huh, gameplay reminds me of Anger Foot sort of. Seems neat.
If the devs ever make a sequel I hope the "like water" modifier is just part of the game right off the bat. I understand why they consider it unbalanced in the current game, but it's do much fun to use and allows for much more freedom in movement.

Looks insanely fun. I would love to check it out *wink wink
( jarek : talking about the key games and put the your name on the comments )
Me:ALRIGHT BET… didn’t do it
short but very focused and fun
This looks so good!
Speaking of woo shooters. Do you ever plan on doing a video on stranglehold?
I got this game at launch, easily one of my favorites.
Wonder when he is gonna review Ultrakill.
