Hey folks, do you like colorful first-person shooters or action games with fun gameplay that emphasis speed, a chaotic energy and the opportunity to kick snakes in the face? If your answer is “yes,” then you’ve probably played or are interested in developer Free Live’s recent FPSAnger Foot.And if your answer is no, then why did you even click on this article to begin with? That’s just weird. But for the others, if you’re now jonesing for more games in a similar vein asAnger Foot,then we have ten other titles to check out as well.
The criteria here is simple: The games have to be first-person action titles (not necessarily first-person shooters), have a heavy emphasis on speed in one way or another and preferably have some sort of over-the-top presentation, likely as a result of/working in tandem with said speed and action (and as seen, Early Access titles are allowed). It is a particular breed of action that isn’t just exclusive toAnger Foot,and has indeed made for a large crop of beautifully-insane titles worth checking out, even though they don’t also feature the ability to kick your enemies to death. Tragic, I know, but these are still some stellar games, such as…
10SEUM: Speedrunners From Hell
One Hell Of a Good Time
Release Date
June 25, 2025
Metacritic Score
While developers Pine Studio may be best known these days forEscape Simulator,their previous game was a different beast entirely, and one that was arguably ahead of the curve when it came to games focused entirely around first-person speedrunning.SEUM: Speedrunners From Hellsaw players challenged with completing a series of heavy metal-themed obstacle courses as quickly as possible, utilizing a wide variety of skills in order to find the best route that doesn’t lead to (too much) death.
At the heart of all of this speedrunning is a classic tale for the ages, that of a metalhead chasing down demons in order to get back the limited edition beer that they stole. But yeah, it adds to the over-the-top flavor that blends with the speed in order to create something so perfectly insane, which is why it succeeds.
9High Hell
Business is Hell, and Business is Good
June 30, 2025
Just in case your tastes specifically require more FPS games published by Devolver Digital where you get to kick down doors, Terri Vellman and Doseone have you covered withHigh Hell.While it’s more bite-sized, clocking in at less than three hours or so, that doesn’t stop it from being any less entertaining, as you attempt to take down the Devil’s business affairs with the help of a happy little shotgun by your side with shoots lasers, sucks souls and restores health.
Much likeAnger Foot, High Hellis also designed so that you’re able to take on each level with different kinds of approaches, though the quicker, more adrenaline-fueled approach is clearly encouraged. After all, that’s why the game has leaderboards built for speedrunners. But whatever you choose, there’s a still a lot here to enjoy. Plus, you can do things in between levels like chuck corpses into a ball pit, which definitely counts for something.
8Hell of an Office
Uh, Insert Third Hell-Related Pun Here
July 10, 2025 (Early Access)
Okay, full disclosure, we did not intend to have three Hell-themed games on this list, all of which have “Hell” in their names to boot. But even though 43 Studios’Hell of an Officeis currently in Early Access (though set for an October 3 release), it still deserves a spot here due to its superbly-crafted parkour action. It may owe a bit toSEUM,but there’s still something special here worth taking a look at, even in its earlier stages.
Swapping out a heavy metal theme for the office life, the game sees you trying to escape from your job at HellO, which involves having to make your way through abstract levels formed out of chunks of various office supplies, doing so quickly before the rising lava gets to you. Luckily, that’s where your handy stapler comes in, which allows for the likes of rocket jumps, dashes, grappling hooks and more. It helps make for a lot of enjoyable levels and hopefully the full game delivers even more.
PAX East 2024: Joystick Ventures is Ready to Play
Joystick Venture appears set to become one of the indie gaming scene’s major publishers, if their recent showcase of games is anything to go by.
until [all is done] do “rip”; “tear”
August 09, 2025
Something from last year that feels like it flew under the radar,Deadlinkis a roguelike FPS game from Gruby Entertainment where you’re a brain in a jar tasked with helping take down megacorporations by using disposable robots known as Combat Shells. And while I chose not to put the 2016Doomon this list in favor of keeping things focused on other indie titles, this is a game that’s drawn comparisons to Doomguy’s recent work, offering up the same fluid combat.
While a lot of the other games here are either built around speedrunning or have various mechanics that endorse speed,Deadlinkkeeps it simple: here’s a ton of enemies and now keep moving or you’re dead. It’s a terrific bit of classic action with a nice coating of cyberpunk visuals and story bits, and it deserves to have more eyes on it.
6Ultrakill
Kills Beyond Overkill
August 14, 2025 (Early Access)
If you’re into the “boomer shooter” scene at all (or whatever term for these revivals that you prefer), then odds are you have likely heard ofUltrakill.Coming from developer Arsi “Hakita” Patala, the game has been a darling among shooter fans so far, even in Early Access, thanks to its blend of classicQuake-style action combined withDevil May Cry-esque scoring systems, encouraging players to move swiftly and kill stylishly.
Of course, the over-the-top campiness and ultraviolence that accompanies all of this action helps as well. After all, this is a game whose central story is about a world inhabited by machines fueled by blood, and now in order to gain more blood, they have to dive their way into Hell and-wait, seriously? How are there nowfourgames on this list involving Hell? Again, this was not intended, all the best games similar toAnger Footjust happen to involve Hell, I guess. Anyhow, game is great, check it out, next entry…
5Post Void
August 24, 2025
While this writer personally tends to associate YCJY Games’Post Voidwith other FPS titles centered around deliberately off-putting retro aesthetics such asCruelty SquadorGolden Light,its insane colors, speed and gameplay easily allow it to also fit in with games such as these. While not one for those who are photosensitive (seriously, the game’s Steam page has a warning), it is one for those who love classic arcade action.
The psychedelic visuals are clearly still a massive highlight, though, along with its mysterious setup, one that had players diving into its procedurally-generated levels over and over, earning much praise from audiences (although the fact that you can get the game for less than five dollars helps as well).

4Severed Steel
A Second Arm Only Slows You Down
July 02, 2025
WhileSevered Steelstill has the same fast action that all the other games on this list have, its central gameplay gimmick is actually one unique toAnger Footas well, that being the use of multiple guns in place of reloading. Greylock Studio’s FPS centers around Steel, a one-armed heroine, and as such, they have to dispose of each firearm they obtain once done and grab a new one, preferably one previously held by the many enemies that they’ve annihilated.
Full of some rather intense firefights and a good chunk of destructible environments and roguelike elements to go alongside its central hook,Severed Steelwasted no time endearing itself to most critics and playersplayers, and is more than worth checking out. Plus like some of the others here, it has a level editor as well, if you feel like crafting your own insane challenges.
3Warstride Challenges
Challenge Accepted
August 04, 2025
Dream Powered Games’Warstride Challengesis another game that keeps things simple: here’s a bunch of challenges, mainly involving killing demons, now go and complete them as quickly as possible. Never mind trivial stuff such as “story,” just get to shooting and make it snappy. So with that, it may seem difficult to truly explain what makes this game special, but what can we say? It just does what it does really, really, really well.
The levels are short and well-crafted, making them perfect for speedrunning, and the gameplay is smooth as butter, but more importantly, movement is just fun, especially as you slide along the ground or leap across large distances while taking out enemies. It’s another one from last year that may have been overlooked as well, so maybe go ahead and show it a little love as well.
2Neon White
Heaven Is a Rocket Launcher/Grappling Hook Combo
June 14, 2025
Having already covered several action games set in Hell, it only seems fair to give a game set in Heaven its fair time here as well with Angel Matrix’sNeon White.Granted, it’s a Heaven with a demon infestation that needs to be exterminated as quickly as possible, but Heaven it is…in more ways than one, really. There’s a reason we declared itone of the year’s best games,as its addictive action, insane parkour and immaculate level design that turns everything into a puzzle as you learn how to get through it all while learning various speedrunning tips in a beautifully organic way make it a true standout, and in this writer’s opinion, one of the best games in the genre.
So what is it doing in second place then, you may ask? Well, for one, this is an instance where the ranking format is really more for show. Second, this is all about some of the best games similar toAnger Foot,and in that case, one other game easily takes the top spot…
1Mullet Madjack
Time to Bash Billionaires
July 15, 2025
Released earlier this year by HAMMER95,Mullet Madjackcame out to rave reviews, and so far seems to beAnger Foot’smajor contender for the title of Best FPS Game of 2024. An insane blend of ’90s cyberpunk anime and classic first-person mayhem, the game tasks players with having to ascend a tower and massacre several robot billionaires in order to rescue a princess, with only ten seconds to make it to the exit on each floor. In order to gain precious seconds, you have to constantly be killing in order to keep our hero’s dopamine levels up.
It’s insane, colorful, cheeky, fun and has terrific gameplay…and most importantly, the reason it gets the top spot here is because both HAMMER95 and Free Lives are aware of the similarities. As of the time I write this, bothAnger FootandMullet Madjackare being sold together on Steam in a “Booter Shooter” bundle,100% aware that they make for a perfect double feature in gaming. And, well, who am I to argue with the creators of these games? Grab the two and enjoy some of the best mayhem this year has to offer.
