Joining the ranks of the modern retro-style shooters we’ve been seeing so many of lately — a great trend, I might add — is Wrack, the colourful, arcade-esque FPS for PC that’s been under development for six years.
Wrack is singleplayer-only, and it promises “unlimited content” through user-made maps and mods on the Steam Workshop (though of course, the game has its own campaign). The arcadey aspect comes from the game’s scoring system, which rewards skillful shots and kills.
Overall speed and gameplay is very much reminiscent of Doom, but with Mega Man-style minibosses and bosses. That, combined with a somewhat Borderlands-like aesthetic, results in a game that looks like this:

I like the Borderlands-esque look and feel.
I like the Jet Set Radio/Fear Effect look and feel.
I like the XIII look and feel.
it has a more classic doom and duke nukem feel with the walking and shooting
like if Unreal Tourny had a lovechild with Borderlands. Rad
Wow, wasn’t expecting to see Wrack on here. I remember when Carn started development on the doomworld forums – he was adamant that steam wasnt an option.
Good to see it gaining popularity.
6 years and it looks like a Quake 3 mod…worst video game shooter EVER *comic book guy voice*
Borderlands + XIII + Unreal Tournament then?
