Yesterday I got lots of questions asking “I used to play (X) are there any current generation Boomer Shooters like it?” I wrote this article to answer many of those questions.
An arena shooter occurs in… an arena. Arena shooters are multiplayer.
Quake was single player and not in an arena. Quake II was single player and not in an arena. Same with Heretic, Helen, Duke Nukem, Serious Sam….
And modern games like Boltgun, Forgive me Father, Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, Deadlink, Trepang^2… No, not one of these is an Arena Shooter.
