The tags explains it a lot. I do not agree with the users or developers giving this tag to those "random" games. Most of these are not Hero Shooters in my book.
Me too. I type while waiting for matches. These games were just mentioned as an example what I understand as Hero Shooter. And we don't have many to choose from. I didn't say they don't work, i played each of them for hundreds and thousands of hours.
Hero Shooter is starting to become like 'rogue-like' where it doesn't mean much.
Deeprock Galactic also works great, if you're into PvE shooters
I noticed, that's why I gave some examples to what "I" understand under that term. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll open a tab and look at Deeprock Galactic. I know the name of the game, but never looked how it functions.
