00:00Shooters don't have to be expensive, and thanks to Steam's Boomstock sale, a ton of classic
00:05style first person shooter games are dirt cheap right now.
00:09Today I'm breaking down the best shooters you can grab for under $15 with their sale
00:14prices and what makes each one worth your time.
00:17Let's dive in.
00:20Let's start with a Medieval, which is currently on sale for just $6.
00:25This is a modern fantasy boomer shooter built in the spirit of Heretic and Hexen, but with
00:30updated visuals and some of the craziest weapon design in the genre.
00:35Instead of your usual shotguns and machine guns, you find crystalline axes, mystical shafts,
00:41and energy weapons that feel powerful but strange in the best way.
00:46This level design leans towards surreal and colorful landscapes, making it stand out from
00:51the darker retro shooters.
00:53The combat is fast, fluid, and always satisfying.
00:56For $6, you're basically getting one of the best examples of how to modernize 90s fantasy
01:02shooters.
01:05Next up is Dusk, and at $6.79 it's one of the best deals in the sale.
01:11Dusk channels pure quake energy, fast movement, tight arenas, and a constant barrage of enemies.
01:18What really makes Dusk special is the atmosphere, creepy rural environments, bizarre cult imagery,
01:25and one of the best soundtracks in any shooter.
01:28The levels are designed for speedrunning and experimentation, so even after beating it once,
01:33you'll want to come back.
01:35For $7, it's basically mandatory if you're even remotely into retro first person shooter
01:41games.
01:45Now let's talk Graven, which you can pick up for only $5.
01:49Graven is slower paced compared to Dusk or Medieval, but that's its strength.
01:54It mixes shooter mechanics with immersive sim elements.
01:58Think magic-based combat, puzzles, exploration, and dark medieval towns filled with secrets.
02:05Instead of pure run-and-gun action, you'll be solving environmental challenges and upgrading
02:11spells.
02:12It feels like a mashup of old-school shooters and RPG-like adventures.
02:16For the price of a coffee, you're getting dozens of hours of moody exploration and combat.
02:22Aeon of Rune is just another one sitting at just $5 during the sale, and this one is especially
02:30exciting if you love Quake.
02:32Built on the actual Quake engine, Wrath offers intricate level design filled with secrets,
02:38traps, and branching pathways.
02:41The game nails that 90s atmosphere.
02:44Dark gothic castles, hellish landscapes, and brutal enemy encounters.
02:49The weapons are classic but hit hard, and the maps encourage exploration without ever feeling
02:55overwhelming.
02:56At $5, Wrath is essentially giving you an authentic Quake-style experience for the price of a fast
03:02food meal.
03:04Ion Fury clocks in at $10 right now, and it's worth every penny.
03:09Made on the build engine, the same engine behind Duke Nukem 3D and Blood, Ion Fury feels like
03:15a lost 90s shooter that just happens to run smoothly on modern hardware.
03:20You play as Shelly Bombshell Harrison, blasting through cyberpunk cityscapes, underground labs,
03:27and neon-soaked streets.
03:29The gunplay is fast and crunchy, the levels are sprawling with tons of verticality, and
03:34there's a sense of humor running through the whole game.
03:37If you're nostalgic for that build engine chaos, Ion Fury is the definitive experience,
03:43and 10 bucks is a bargain.
03:46Then there's Warhammer 40,000 Bolt Gun, on sale for $11.
03:51Bolt Gun is all about chunky, visceral gameplay.
03:55You're a space marine cutting through hordes of cultists and daemons armed with the iconic
03:59Bolt Gun, plasma rifles, and even a chainsword.
04:04What makes Bolt Gun shine is how it captures that Warhammer 40,000 brutality in a retro-boomer
04:10shooter format.
04:11The weapons feel heavy, the enemies swarm you, and the gore is gloriously over the top.
04:17At $11 bucks, it's the cheapest way to feel like an unstoppable engine of destruction in
04:22the Warhammer universe.
04:26Here's the real steal of the sale, Blood Fresh Supply for just $2.
04:30This is a remaster of the 1997 cult classic Blood, one of the most infamous build engine
04:36shooters.
04:38You play as Caleb, a gunslinger out for revenge against a sinister cult armed with dynamite
04:43bundles, pitchforks, and voodoo dolls.
04:47The game is violent, twisted, and darkly funny.
04:50The Fresh Supply version makes it run perfectly on modern PCs with smoother controls and resolution
04:56support.
04:57For $2 bucks, it's basically a crime not to grab it.
05:02Beyond the headliners, there are a few extras worth mentioning.
05:05Silico, sitting around $10 bucks, is a modern indie shooter with a story-driven campaign and
05:10a ton of destructible environments.
05:13H-Rot offers eerie Eastern European vibes for about $7 bucks.
05:18And if you want sheer value, bundles like the Shadow Warrior trilogy give you three classic
05:23shooters for the price of one.
05:27One more indie highlight, Cultic Complete Edition priced at $10 right now.
05:32Cultic is a throwback to Blood, but with a modern horror spin.
05:35You're up against a terrifying death cult armed with revolvers, shotguns, and explosives.
05:42What sets it apart is its atmosphere.
05:44Bundles are creepy, enemies are brutal, and the combat encourages creative play, tossing
05:49dynamite into a crowd, kicking barrels, and using the environment to your advantage.
05:55With the second chapter just released, the Complete Edition is a fantastic deal at $10 bucks.
06:01Now, here are some quick buying tips.
06:05Add these to your wish list.
06:06Steam will alert you when prices drop again.
06:10Look at bundles.
06:11They're often cheaper than buying single games.
06:14And always check recent reviews.
06:16Some retro shooters rely on community patches for the best experience, so it's worth a
06:21quick glance.
06:23So that's the roundup.
06:25The best shooters on Steam you can grab right now, all under $15 bucks, with some as low as
06:30$2.
