Boomer Shooters

A community about boomer shooters, a type of old-school FPS games before Half-Life revolutionized the genre. Boomer shooters have emphasis on shooting and sometimes traversing mechanics, are light or devoid of cutscenes, and the fun of making things go boom takes precedence over story. The name originates from a tongue in cheek description of the 2018 game Dusk and since stuck as a shorthand for the type of FPS.

Rules:

Don't complain about the term boomer shooter. It's a fixed term. I did not make it up.
Half-Life is not a boomer shooter.

No racism, homophobia, etc. Lemmy.World rules appy.

Samuel Villarreal @SVKaiser:

In case anyone cares, this isn't a rebrand of Fresh Supply but rather from scratch using the original source code of the game. For those who already own Fresh Supply and don't really care about its flaws, then it's likely not worth it.

Whatever SVKaiser writes: This is a massive price hike over Blood: Fresh Supply which is €8.19 regularly and currently for sale on GOG for €1.69.

Owners of Fresh Supply get Refreshed Supply for €9,51 – a big discount over the regular price of €27,99 but still more expensive the the regular price of Fresh Supply.

Refreshed Supply "includes new Marrow scenario (available at launch) and Death Wish scenario (planned future update)", so the latter isn't even guaranteed.

The new content should be good, but I’m curious what the tangible differences will be compared to Fresh Supply
