anymore eurojank boomer shooters like this?
after playing through this game and the Chasm demo I realized that I want more games like them. Any eurojank boomer shooters. Even better if its slavjank.

Not trying to be euro or slavjank as far as i'm aware, but DUSK looks and feels very similar. Considerably less brown, though.

I've played Dusk and didn't really care for it that much.

A shame, since it's one of the best retro-style FPS games out there imo.

I guess the next best thing is to just play the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R., if you haven't yet. It's not possible to go any more slavjank FPS than that. It's as jank as it gets, w/o being unplayable. Got an open world and light RPG-mechanics, though and is much slower paced.

I forgot about the S.T.A.L.E.R. games. while not a boomer shooter it is definitely slavjank.

I played the demo and I'm definitely getting the full game. I'm looking to see if there are more games like Chasm and HROT.

Does this game have a steam page or is this on a different site. When I looked up the game all I got was a Wikipedia page on dust pollution in Poland.

It's pretty obscure and abandonware, so you'll have to look hard to find it

Could you provide a picture of the logo of the game screen shots of what it looks like so I know what to look for. Anything helps when hunting for obscure games like this.

If i google "Pył first person shooter", i get pretty good results, from videos showing gameplay to it's entry on a website archiving abandonware and it's also on the Internet Archive (i can't link either, due to Steam's forum guidelines).

This helped a lot. I think I should be able to find it from here.
you can start from Chasm: The Rift or Quake

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or DUSK?

DUSK runs great on the deck. Controller-support is there, HUD-scaling for better readability, all that good stuff.
Sort of unrelated, but there's even a Nintendo Switch-port, which targets 60FPS and holds that most of the time.

No idea about the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, but i'd imagine, that some tinkering may be required for those. Though, a glance at it's ProtonDB-page suggest, that it should run well with difficult to read text being the main issue:
