What are other games like this?
This is an awesome game, and I want to try more games with this premise. Currently I'm playing Immortal Redneck and that is pretty good. I

Any suggestions on games similar in concept to this?

Aren't there steam groups/curators do exists to answer your question?

Probably it is not polite to refer other games while being in a specific-game forum?

I'm asking fans of a game for recommendations of similar games... It's a pretty common question to ask in forums. There is nothing impolite about it.

You mean like rogue-lite FPS's?
Ziggurat is a classic, and I've heard that Immortal Redneck got improved a great deal in later patches, there's Tower of Guns which I'm not familiar with.
Personally I find that the games like Hypergun or mothergunship have too weak combat with enemies that barely react to being fired, just a boring white flash, no sparks, no decals, no blood spurts, no nothing, meaning that shooting translates to a boring "chipping away at healthbars of braindead hordes" experience instead of feeling like you're firing a high powered slug at some poor enemy who gets knocked back at the very least from the punch of your projectile, with sparks and/or blood flying out from the point of impact.
So I would avoid those.
If you just want a fast paced old school shooter that feels great, then Dusk, AMID EVIL, Overload, and hopefully in the future Ion Maiden.
Project Warlock looked promising, until I saw the horrible level design, dumb AI, slow movement speed, head bob that you couldn't turn off, no FOV slider, wonky balancing on upgrades/weapons/spells, no actual graphical customization, just whacky ones, and hit and miss music.
Then there's the classics, FEAR, Doom, Quake, Shadow Warrior, Painkiller, Serious Sam, AVP2000, Wolfenstein, Half-Life, all their old and some new iterations have satisfying combat, also I guess Shadow Warrior 2 has some lessons from rogue-lites with procedurally generated levels & random loot, with excellent combat.

Back in 1995 is a similar "retro" game with "retro" graphics but in a different genre. I dunno if that's released yet, but it's a survival horror in the vien of Biohazard/Resident Evil.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I started with Ziggurat, it's really fun.
@Nathan, I was ignorant to release of Immortal Redneck, so I don't know how different it is from launch, but it seems like it's a straight up clone of Ziggurat.

@Blood I'm still looking up most of the games on that list but so far they are all looking like ones I want to try, thank you very much.

FYI, I wasn't into "Space Beast Terror Fright" when I first tried it, but I was pretty much doing it wrong. It's really fun and I'd recommend it.

My personal Recomendations:
One More Dungeon, Project Warlock, Mad Sector, Midnight Ultra, Dusk, Intrude, Minimized, Forsaken Remastered, Autumn Night.
Not the same as Strafe but all of them are fun FPS

Strafe's closest cousin is probably Spire, but it's been in development for years :/
Procgen + FPS + high mobility = http://hitboxteam.tumblr.com

Also check out City of Brass. Many similarities but in an Arabian, Prince of Persia-type setting.

Immortal Redneck and Ziggurat.

Caverns of Evil is a pretty similar concept; the early levels are not hard but its gets really hard after a bit.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
