Drop Dead: The Cabin
A CoD Zombies-flavoured VR-and-flatscreen co-op wave shooter with satisfying gunplay and an established Quest fanbase, held back at Steam launch by a missing tutorial, item-handling bugs, and thin content.

John Carpenter's Toxic Commando
A four-player zombie horde shooter with tight gunplay and a legendary score, undercut by thin content and a post-launch battle pass controversy.

Masked Forces: Zombie Survival
A NZ$7.45 wave shooter spun off from Nightbinder's budget Masked Forces series, swapping the franchise's PvP arenas for zombie hordes. The core shooting loop still works nine years on, but Steam's own player-count API returns zero, so the PvP and co-op the store page advertises exist mostly on paper.
5.2 / 10
Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2
A co-op horde shooter sequel that keeps the original's proven four-player Xenomorph-swarm formula largely intact, undermined by a rough technical launch of stuttering and connection issues, widely mocked dialogue writing, and a price many of its own fans say the added content doesn't justify.
5 / 10
Aquanox Deep Descent
A five-years-late Kickstarter revival of the Archimedean Dynasty/Aquanox submarine combat lineage that split its own backers down the middle, then confirmed their worst fear by going quiet on patches within months of launch.
5 / 10
Better Days
A cheap, surprisingly playable third-person looter-shooter with a genuinely fun core loop for those who stick with it, badly undercut by widespread bugs, a tedious item-loading system, and incomplete English translation that leaves English-language reviewers far harsher than the wider multilingual audience.
5 / 10
Blast
A tidy little planet-defense shooter whose tap-to-fire mechanic genuinely works via touch — confirmed directly — but whose fixed 900-pixel-wide layout pushes the Start button, score display, and the player's own ship entirely off a real phone screen with no way back.
5 / 10
DUCKSIDE
A genuinely fun DayZ-and-Rust-but-you're-a-duck survival shooter that veteran genre players praised for its fast, rewarding early loop, undone across two years by cheating that never went away, a controversial kernel-level anti-cheat rollout, and a development pace that Steam's own patch history confirms has gone quiet since mid-2025.
5 / 10
Expedition Agartha
A genuinely novel medieval melee extraction looter, praised by a dedicated niche audience for combat unlike anything else in the genre — undercut by a "free to play" framing several reviewers say locks most real content behind a paid expansion, a toxic unmatched PvP ecosystem, and a development team this review's research confirms went silent for more than two and a half years after a brief, active post-launch period.
5 / 10
FORECLOSED
A cyberpunk action-adventure styled like a moving comic book, Mixed across a small sample of Steam reviews for its striking panel-based visual presentation — undercut by an extremely consistent complaint about clunky, unadjustable gunplay and camera controls that this review confirmed went unaddressed by any post-launch patch.
5 / 10
Fracture Point
A solo-developed roguelite extraction shooter with genuinely satisfying, overwhelming gunplay and a compelling tower-climbing loot premise, widely acknowledged even by its fans as shockingly buggy at launch, missing an advertised gun-modding feature, and carrying a reproducible progression-blocking softlock and a sudden, punishing difficulty spike.
5 / 10
God's Trigger
A stylish, Hotline Miami-inspired co-op top-down shooter pairing an angel and a demoness against the apocalypse, undercut by an aiming system tied to character movement rather than the mouse — a design choice the developers themselves defended as intentional difficulty rather than fixing it.
5 / 10
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam
A genuinely ambitious 50v50 jungle-warfare expansion of the Hell Let Loose formula — tunnels, helicopters, patrol boats and 17 battlefield roles — undercut by a launch several reviewers call "extremely early access," a crossplay aim-assist complaint that dominates the negative reviews, and a NZ$61.99 price competing with cheaper, better-established Vietnam shooters.
5 / 10
INDUSTRIA 2
A sequel to Bleakmill's well-regarded 2021 debut that launched in April 2026 to a heavily divided reception, with most of this review's research sample describing missing textures, broken geometry, and a game that felt unfinished, followed by an unusually rapid string of emergency patches.
5 / 10
Killer Bean
A first/third-person action roguelike adapting Jeff Lew's cult-favourite Killer Bean animated short films, built and rapidly patched entirely solo, currently rough and buggy enough that a large share of reviewers explicitly recommend waiting despite real goodwill toward the beloved source material and an unusually responsive post-launch fix record.
5 / 10
Marauders
A WWII-flavoured, zero-gravity spin on Escape from Tarkov that launched with real promise in 2022, then spent four years wearing down that goodwill through persistent cheating, contested bans, and — as of an April 2026 developer post apologising for "the silence" — a 20-month content drought.
5 / 10
Predator: Hunting Grounds
An asymmetrical multiplayer shooter that lets four soldiers complete objectives while a fifth player stalks them as the Predator — a genuinely fun premise reviewers say is let down by severe balance problems, thin map variety, and a playerbase reviewers describe as having quietly withered since the developer moved on.
5 / 10
Quarantine Zombies - Prologue
A free four-day preview of Stones Games' inspection-sim-meets-zombie-shooter, released a week after the paid full game it advertises, and dogged by the same lag and AI-voiceover complaints — plus a Steam community that keeps naming the much bigger game it resembles.
5 / 10
RICO
A satisfying, comic-styled buddy-cop door-breaching FPS whose roguelite procedural levels and slow-motion shootouts earned real praise at launch — now undercut by a confirmed, independently corroborated shutdown of its online co-op servers, the game's own headline feature.

Snowbreak: Containment Zone
A well-liked sci-fi gacha shooter with unusually generous pull rates is in the middle of a live revolt after a content-moderation pass altered or removed material a large number of players had already paid for, with no compensation offered.
5 / 10
Space Hulk - Deathwing Enhanced Edition
Space Hulk - Deathwing Enhanced Edition puts players inside Terminator armor as an elite Dark Angels Space Marine, hunting Genestealers through the claustrophobic corridors of a derelict hulk. Its atmosphere and lore fidelity earn real praise from Warhammer 40K fans, while a large, convergent share of reviewers describe unusable AI teammates and severe, unresolved technical problems as undermining the experience.
