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
You must log in or # to comment.
Many games have launchers which can be skipped by entering a command to the launch properties in Steam. Check the games info page in ProtonDB
What I mean’t by launcher was mostly ea and u play.
Ea since it doesn’t work for me and uplay since I don’t like ubisoft.
Roboquest
Dusk, definitively try that
Was just playing Gunslinger:Juarez , it is well produced, runs perfectly and is pretty fun.
Yeah, runs on Linux fine (my experience was running it from Steam), looks good and is defintelly a shooter.
Turns out it’s not really my kind of game because it’s a succession of set-pieces (a sequence of fully fledged 3D areas were player progression is mostly linear) but for those more into the shooting and less into exploring or building angles it should be good fun as it’s definitely all about the shooting your way through enemy strongpoints (not really about defending from enemy waves).
Yep that’s accurate. There is some basic exploring with the secrets but it is sort of tacked on to the main set pieces. Very much an arcade feel.
I finished that game 4 times, might be time for 5th time.
Playing through now. It’s really pretty well done. Lots of little humorous touches.
Combat Master. Like CoD but simpler, no waiting, you start the game and end up playing in less than 2 mins, loading included.
Half Life 2.
My go-tos on my Arch laptop are Doom and Quake, there’s tons of sourceports, both focused on singleplayer or multi player for both games and their sequels. You just need to buy the games once so you have the main game files to use with the optimized source ports.
Tf2 is the vwst war themed hat simulator out there
Halo Infinite… still works on Linux.
Battlebit Remastered is pretty fun but I have limited experience in that one.
Battlebit is great for a couple of rounds of brainless fun every other night. I’m not yet on linux myself, but it seems to work well via proton according to google, and it doesn’t use an external launcher.
Mullet Madjack.
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds is really fun and silly. Doom Eternal is also cool.
Iron Maiden
Red Eclipse, although I’m not sure how large the player base is
Alien Arena, Urban Terror, Xonotic
Lots of good ones here, but I’ll add one I haven’t seen, cube 2: sauerbraten
That’s a name I havent heard in a while…
