Let’s take a look through Metacritic to look at some of the best new Retro FPS games.\u00a0Firstly,\u00a0there are many freshly inspired games, but not all have received ratings yet.\u00a0Secondly,\u00a0we will not be mentioning any rereleases of older titles on this list.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Hellbound<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Hellbound<\/em> is one of the most straight forward games on this list, which can be fun or off-putting for those who want something more. Firstly, Hellbound<\/em> does not innovate much as a retro shooter. However, it does maintain a lot of the core arena-style elements that fans love.<\/p>\n

The game is light on content; with only seven levels, six weapons, and one boss fight, it does not last long. However, there is a free to play survival mode that is fun to run and gun around maps mindlessly. For all this, it only clocks around a current rating of 62.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Heavy Bullets<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Heavy Bullets<\/em> is a retro FPS dungeon crawler roguelike with randomly generated levels with an overall rating of 72. One of the main mechanics of the game is the ability to reuse bullets. You will most likely have to clear stages with just six shots, reloading them after picking them up after firing.<\/p>\n

Mixing the difficult elements of randomness that roguelikes bring with a limit on your bullets creates an interesting new challenge. This game offers a fresh experience with eight stages to go through in this neon dungeon and tons of replay value.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Post Void<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

If you are looking for a new experience similar to an arcade shooter that plays like Doom 2<\/em> on acid, then Post Void<\/em> is for you. Sitting at a rating of 74 and with a price of under five dollars, there isn’t much reason not to give it a try.<\/p>\n

Gameplay boils down to killing for health, obtaining a high score, and repeating. It’s a bit shallow, but it’s undeniably entertaining. On top of a unique art style, this game is mesmerizing to look at and to play, and it’s almost aking to a first-person\u00a0Hotline Miami<\/em>.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Shadow Warrior 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

With the reboot of the popular 90s franchise<\/a>, the second installment rates at a 78. Combining a bigger arsenal, upgrades, and enemies from the first entry, Shadow Warrior<\/a><\/em> brings some new things to the table.<\/p>\n

Enemies can now be infused with elemental powers, though this can be countered Pok\u00e9mon<\/em>-style with countering elemental weapons. It may seem a bit clunky, but it does quite a bit to liven up the gameplay.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Project Warlock<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

<\/figure>\n

With ifferent gameplay styles to choose from, an arsenal of devastating guns to mix in, and different ways to approach fights in every level,\u00a0Wolfenstein<\/a><\/em> maintains its legacy well. In addition, it’s well worth playing the first installment, Wolfenstein: The New Order<\/em><\/a>, before diving into this one.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The Doom<\/em> series has taken a back seat to story in past entries, but\u00a0DOOM Eternal<\/em> brings an epic story to the secondary focus<\/a>. Of course, the primary focus is gunplay. It is up to you, the slayer, to master your guns and speed and remind them that the only thing they fear is you.<\/p>\n
