Grab these top tier boomer shooters up to 75% off in this Steam sale
When it comes to the best FPS games on PC, and that brand of classic style, fast-paced boomer shooters inspired by Doom and Quake in particular, it's tough to beat developer collective New Blood. Indeed, its 2018 pairing of Dusk and Amid Evil can be matched up closely to the arri

Retro FPS Amid Evil borrowed a famous anime attack to create one of the most satisfying videogame punches ever
Amid Evil might be an FPS with fantasy weapons roughly equivalent to Doom's archetypical arsenal, but its new expansion really wants you to punch things. It makes this clear in two different ways. First, it makes punching really fun... Read more.

Amid Evil's expansion has magical spiked gauntlets that look absolutely bananas and I can't wait to punch somebody in the face with them

CHAMPIONS!

In preparation for THE BLACK LABYRINTH and the upcoming console ports of AMID EVIL, we've released a long overdue controller overhaul and reworked all the menu code in the game!
What does that mean? Well, all the game menus are now 100% controller compatible (no more mouse cursor) and we've also finally been STEAM DECK VERIFIED.
And YES that's a brand new WEAPON WHEEL you see.
It works with both controller (Hold RB) and KB + M (Hold Q) - try it out!

There's also a new auto-switch weapon pickup option
A new and improved key bindings menu
And we finally overhauled (basically re-wrote) the CODEX! (ENJOY THE LORE)

Volumetric fog has been optimized, so you should get quite a few extra frames in maps that use it.
Keys have VFX to help them stand out a bit more now.
And the AEWARLOCK cheat now adds mana.

[[ Plus also lots of other behind-the-scenes stuff in preparation for The Black Labyrinth launch ]]
Speaking of THE BLACK LABYRINTH...
We hope you saw our latest gameplay video:
Watch on YouTube
And of course have it on your Wishlist:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1852860/AMID_EVIL__The_Black_Labyrinth/
We'll have it out for you early next year, as well as AMID EVIL VR.
Which we can now confirm will launch as a standalone app on Steam that will support nearly every VR headset on the market.
But more on all that... SOON™
Go try AMID EVIL on your Steam Deck... NOW.

Humble's Boomer Shooter bundle contains some throwback FPS classics
I'm not sure how I feel about the term "boomer shooter". Given that it refers to new first-person shooters which evoke games from the '90s, shouldn't they be millenial shooters? Fresh from killing napkins and mayonnaise, here come millenials to kill Shub-Niggurath. This is clearl

CHAMPIONS! What a long road we have walked together.

From our initial reveal...

To our Early Access launch...

And the seven FULL worlds of v1.0...

Brought into Virtual Reality...

And finally... The Black Labyrinth...

The last seven years have been MAGICAL.

This final update adds a Hordes of Evil Endless Arena to The Black Labyrinth, so that you may have one final romp with its enemies and punchify them into a fine red mist.

On behalf of Leon, Simon, Andrew, the New Blood team and myself (Dave) We'd like to thank you for joining us on this journey to vanquish evil! You may rest now, Champions. THE UNIVERSE AWAITS.
