Gravelord is an Early Access boomer shooter from Fatbot Games, creators of the dungeon crawler series Vaporum, and the latest update makes it more accessible with it now Steam Deck Verified thanks to the addition of controller support.
Continuing gaming’s long tradition of dumb names for game genres, boomer shooters are first person shooters that don’t use auto-regen health (COD, Halo), in offline they give health frequently from killing enemies (rather exclusively health packs), and they’re designed to be fast paced, usually with a wide FOV, an absurdly high “walk” speed with no run button, and somewhat disorienting or labyrinth-like map style. They’re often offline, but can be multiplayer player-vs-player.
Even if the game is completely modern: Doom Eternal, Ultrakill, Dusk, Turbo Overkill, etc its still called a boomer shooter.
…what the holy fuck is a Boomer Shooter?
A game category made up by people who think “boomer” means “anyone more than a few years older than me”.

Shooters styled after Doom, Quake, and Wolfenstein
Those are games that gen X grew up with. Boomers were their parents.

No, you’re literally too old to realize the yooths call you a boomer too
So we all can be boomers, yay
Fuck off boomer.

Yeah. Kindergarten vibe is strong in this one.
I promise you my baby boomer father has never even seen Quake, or is aware of it’s existence.
Ping Pong i guess.
I don’t think my parents played anything else ever.
