Talk shooters, servers, and independent games in the NeonRoof Discord community.
There is no single kind of free PC shooter. One night you may want a story-heavy science-fiction campaign; the next, a ten-minute arena match or a coordinated push with a full team. We went through NeonRoof's live FPS catalog and put every listed title in one place, with a picture and a direct link to its game page. This is a directory to explore, not a ranking. Start with the FPS and indie shooter browse page if you would rather filter the catalog yourself.

Take a quick look at classic campaigns, arena shooters, and team games on NeonRoof.
Campaigns, strange worlds, and old-school experiments

A note about ETQW: the NeonRoof listing is for a community client manager, not a free copy of the original commercial game. You still need legitimate game data to play. Likewise, the Xonotic entry is clearly marked as an unofficial community release, not a Team Xonotic publication.
Free to download does not always mean that every map, texture, logo, or piece of music has an open license. The linked game pages spell out the known distribution and artwork terms, along with screenshots, video, support, and the source of the download. If a community server is quiet, try another game in the same group. There is plenty here to explore without pretending every shooter feels the same.

Quick answers before you play
Where can I browse every free FPS on NeonRoof?
Use the FPS and indie shooter catalog, then open a game page for screenshots, videos, support, and download information.
Does NeonRoof host the game downloads?
The ten newest FPS additions use direct URLs for the original Windows packages instead of NeonRoof-hosted game binaries. Other listings may use different official or community routes; the individual page explains which one applies.
Is the ETQW client launcher the full free game?
No. It helps players reach the Enemy Territory: Quake Wars community, but it does not include the original commercial game data. You need a legitimate copy of that data.
