The “Aftershock” expansion pack for Ion Fury will launch for PC via Steam and GOG, on October 2, publishers 3D Realms and Fulqrum Publishing, and developer Voidpoint announced. A release date for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch versions was not announced.
Here is a list of the best Nintendo Switch shooters while you wait for your girlfriend to come out from the hair salon.
An interview with the developers of Phantom Fury - sequel to Ion Fury.
Humble Bundle had a Boomer Shooter Bundle, and games like Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun proudly wear the label by choice. Maybe it's time to give in and accept the '90s-style retro FPS subgenre is going to be stuck with a silly label because it sounds funny. Or maybe it's time to get prescriptive.
Boomer shooters would be Asteroids, Robotron 2084, Tempest and maybe Duck Hunt. Even then any actual boomers I knew probably only played Duck Hunt if any games at all.
"I know we all enjoy a good rhyme, but "boomer shooter" misinterprets history and creates confusion about who actually played these games."
It has nothing to do with the age of the players playing these games and more to do with how the primary weapons worked. They went "boom" and made you feel powerful while strafing around killing things.
