Selaco is the sleeper pick on this page. It is a retro FPS built on a GZDoom foundation with level design that rewards exploration and firefights that feel genuinely tactical rather than just frantic. The enemies use cover, react to sound, and do not behave like the cannon fodder you expect from the aesthetic. It sits in honorable mentions because the broader accessibility is lower than the top-ten picks and it is still in early access, but shooter enthusiasts looking for something with more thought behind the combat design than the average boomer shooter should look at it.

Overview
About selaco
Selaco is a brand new original shooter running on GZDoom, featuring thrilling action set pieces, destructibility, smart AI and a fleshed out story taking place within an immersive game world.
Story setup
The story takes place during a violent invasion on Selaco, a massive space station that's home to the surviving refugees after the fall of Earth. You play as Dawn, an ACE Security Captain who, with her recent promotion and high level security clearances, is digging deep into the truth behind Selaco's murky history. Before she can finish her investigation, Selaco is rocked by explosions and armed invaders. While Selaco may take place in a large-scale conflict, much of it will be the personal story of Dawn, the center-piece of the game.
