Cosmic Call is basically Nuclear Throne as a rogue-lite boomer shooter

CosmicDev recently put up a demo for Cosmic Call, a very scribbly-styled retro boomer shooter that sees you fight through small arena levels as you keep powering up. The demo is quite limited, but nicely showcases the idea.

I couldn't quite put my finger on what it felt like, until I looked at the Steam forum and a player gave it the perfect description of "Nuclear Throne but in first person" and yep, that's about right. It has the same sort of feel just translated into 3D, with the same sort of design of how you progress through it and that's actually great.

More about it: "Cosmic Call is a brutal 3D FPS Roguelike Boomer shooter set inside the prison of the Great One. Many have entered this prison, succumbing to its never-ending torture and its relentless cycle of death and retries, but none have ever managed to escape. Fight your way out of this hellish nightmare, collecting otherworldly weapons and horrifying items along the way. Unlock mythical skulls that grant you extraordinary powers, perhaps just enough to rip your way through all the beasts and monsters and finally break free from this accursed hell."

The demo has the first two levels on repeat, with alternating bosses from the first level. Due to this, it's easy to become over-powered which the developer mentions won't be the case in the full game.

Check out the demo on Steam. It has Native Linux support made with Godot.
