Why these games appear
Retro-styled first-person shooting emphasizing speed, strafing, weapon arsenals, maze-like levels, and limited cover dependence.
Include when
Assign Boomer Shooter when retro-styled first-person shooting emphasizing speed, strafing, weapon arsenals, maze-like levels, and limited cover dependence. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.
Leave out when
Do not assign Boomer Shooter from theme, presentation, camera, or a minor mechanic alone; its defining interaction and progression pattern must recur through the core game.
