Hello, I’m interested into some good casula shooter’s that work on linux. My only requirement is that they shouldn’t EVER have to use an external launcher like ea ( have bf3 on steam and the ea launcher just doesn’t wanna work ).
I played games like splitgate, halo infinite and battlebit remastered
Combat Master. Like CoD but simpler, no waiting, you start the game and end up playing in less than 2 mins, loading included.
Half Life 2.
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds is really fun and silly. Doom Eternal is also cool.
Good ol counter strike
Halo Infinite… still works on Linux.
Battlebit Remastered is pretty fun but I have limited experience in that one.
Battlebit is great for a couple of rounds of brainless fun every other night. I’m not yet on linux myself, but it seems to work well via proton according to google, and it doesn’t use an external launcher.
Open Arena
Lots of good ones here, but I’ll add one I haven’t seen, cube 2: sauerbraten
That’s a name I havent heard in a while…
Alien Arena, Urban Terror, Xonotic
Tf2 is the vwst war themed hat simulator out there
Roboquest
Was just playing Gunslinger:Juarez , it is well produced, runs perfectly and is pretty fun.
Yeah, runs on Linux fine (my experience was running it from Steam), looks good and is defintelly a shooter.
Turns out it’s not really my kind of game because it’s a succession of set-pieces (a sequence of fully fledged 3D areas were player progression is mostly linear) but for those more into the shooting and less into exploring or building angles it should be good fun as it’s definitely all about the shooting your way through enemy strongpoints (not really about defending from enemy waves).
Yep that’s accurate. There is some basic exploring with the secrets but it is sort of tacked on to the main set pieces. Very much an arcade feel.
I finished that game 4 times, might be time for 5th time.
Playing through now. It’s really pretty well done. Lots of little humorous touches.

Xonotic, an open-source arena shooter
This is pretty fun, thanks!
+1 for Xonotic. It scratches the Quake 3: Arena itch extremely well.
I remember playing that when it was Nexuiz (the first time). I may have to crank it up again now that I’ve been reminded of it.
If you are talking about multiplayer :
- The Finals
- Insurgency Sandstorm
- Hunt: Showdown 1896
- Hell Let Loose
- CS 2
- No More Room in Hell 1&2
Many options !
With the exception of the last one which is a co-op zombie shooter, these are all intensely sweaty competitive multiplayer games. The Finals is the most “casual” and that’s a battle royale which is generally not considered a casual genre. I:S is literally a milsim…
Hunt: Showdown isn’t a casual shooter though
Serious Sam
Ofcourse the gane made in my country got recommended.
I finished it already but might be the time to replay it.
