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

Was just playing Gunslinger:Juarez , it is well produced, runs perfectly and is pretty fun.
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.
Roboquest
Half Life 2.
Mullet Madjack.
Tf2 is the vwst war themed hat simulator out there
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds is really fun and silly. Doom Eternal is also cool.
I can recommend Selaco. It’s built on GZDoom and one of the best shooters I’ve played in the last years.
Ion fury and Hedon are solid too, build engine and gzdoom respectively. Selaco though, sometimes it’s almost hard to believe it’s running on the doom engine.
Agreed, the technical side is super impressive. The 2D character sprites are basically the only constant reminder how old this engine really is.
Xonotic, an open-source arena shooter
+1 for Xonotic. It scratches the Quake 3: Arena itch extremely well.
I remember playing that when it was Nexuiz (the first time). I may have to crank it up again now that I’ve been reminded of it.
Combat Master. Like CoD but simpler, no waiting, you start the game and end up playing in less than 2 mins, loading included.
What issue are you having with Battlefield 3/EA? I just installed it last week I think I did it via Lutris
Team Fortress 2
i was about to shit my pants that this wasn’t mentioned. i love this game. and we’re currently botless.
Is it actually easy to find a game without bots and hackers, or is it only on certain community servers?
So for now - fixtf2 worked! There are near zero bots and bot hosters and creators got steam banned. Last scream fortress 2023 was unplayable… this year I almost cried as I was playing through my contracts with no issues.
In 2024 few casual matches have bots longer than a few seconds, and they’re rare.
Alien Arena, Urban Terror, Xonotic
Deep Rock Galactic. Rock and stone, miner!
Seriously one of the best coop shooters out there. So much character, and by now there are quite a few different mission types making replayability much better than when it first came out. The constant updates are also nothing to scoff at, especially considering the games price.

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.
I have tried all these on Linux through proton.
Dusk - the OG boomer shooter revival game, should be the first game to try to see if you like these kinds of fps.
Amid evil - beautiful looking FPS instead of firing guns you fire unique magical weapons.
Ultrakill - extremely difficult movement shooter with a very interesting setting and lore. Its still not fully complete theres like a final layer thats still cooking but what’s there is worth experiencing.
Selaco - FEAR inspired FPS built in GZDoom somehow. Tight movement, great gunplay, interesting enemy difficulty progression, superior AI that will flank your ass and hammer you with what feels like tactical actions, great interactive environments.
Turbo ultrakill- one of the most fun and bombastic FPS ive ever played. Play as a merc who gets turned into a living chainsaw as you ruin the plans of wannabe trancendent techno gods and run away super AI one bullet at a time
Cultic - plays heavy into blood and residents evil 4 inspirations to deliver a very mood atmospheric FPS with the best goddamn dynamite throwing mechanics since OG Blood itself. The single dev is really passionate and is constantly sharing updates to episode 2.
Ion Fury + ion fury aftershock A love letter to the best parts of build engine games of the 90s. Its incredibly well made build engine game with huge sprawling enviroments and too many secrets. The pistol with auto-lockon is hands down the best pistol Ive every used in any game. Aftershock DLC is even better than the base game.
Zortch - another passion project made by one person with an in-house engine coded just for the game. The enemy AI moves around a lot and the cartoony graphics and plot make it more of a light hearted title to have fun with like a game you would find on the N64. Its only 5$ and easily worth it.
