Boomer Shooter is now a tag on Steam

https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Boomer Shooter

It was an esoteric gaming term for any doom-like but now there's so many it's a real tag.

If roguelike is a real subgenre then boomer shooter can be too

If gen z gets to be lumped in with millenials then millenials count as boomers. Fair is fair.

Nah. I don't care. Difficulty and length has nothing to do with the quality of the game.

Difficulty and length has nothing to do with quality of the product. But my issue with boomer shooters is in fact they are very booring.

Can't be worse then the SHMUP category on steam being nothing but Vampire Survivors clones.

BTW make Vampire Survivors Clone it's own tag

How did vampires survivor :marseyinjured: become the defacto example. Of this genre when it was so late

Because VS was bigger then any actual SHMUP or Bullet Heck in two decades and cause a MASSIVE amount of imitators that all ALSO sell far more then any acutal bullet heck or SHMUP that isn't named Devil Engine or Zero Ranger

I thought arena shooter was the name already?

"boomer shooter" is for zoomer cute twinks who only want to play single-player. It has nothing to do with boomers, or arena shooters.

Soulsike, which has no real definition, is also a tag on Steam, same with "immersive sim" and Metroidvania (Castlevania wasn't like Metroid until SOTN, the correct term should be "Metroidlike"). Also the correct term should be "retro shooter"

Words are basically pointless. We know what souls is and we know what a souls clone feels like but it has no definition. Same thing with what is a woman.

Also the correct term should be "retro shooter"

You mean "Doom Clone" or "Quake Killer"

I wanted to post a snarky, pedantic explanation of why Castlevania added distinctive qualities to the mix -- making "Metroidvania" a better term -- but I'm coming up empty.

I think you're right.

Technically Metroid wasn't even the first metroidvania, with Brain Breaker and Xandu coming out in 1985, though Jet Set Willy came out in 1984, leading some to dub the genre "willyvania".

How about that. I really am liking the revival of FPS from a simpler time.

I personally don't mind iron sight. Heck, I even wish there are more shooter games with the "lean" function.

I'm just happy that we have options now.
