High speed grappling hook and aerial gunplay across a Cold War carnival stage in Iron Curtain Call
Iron Curtain Call gives you a grappling hook, parry and kick across handcrafted single player set pieces. Free demo on Steam.
The short answer

The ten shooters at a glance

Almost everyone who finishes Titanfall 2’s single player campaign immediately searches for two things: movement that chains grappling hooks, wall runs, slides and dashes without losing momentum, and a tightly paced campaign that introduces a new mechanical hook in every chapter and ends before it ever feels padded. I am building Iron Curtain Call as a solo developer in Istanbul around a grappling hook, a close quarters kick and parry loop, and handcrafted set piece stages, so I compiled the ten best PC shooters on Steam for Titanfall 2 fans.

If you want Titanfall 2’s grappling hook, slide momentum and air dashes pushed to maximum speed, play DOOM Eternal ($29.99), ULTRAKILL ($29.99, free demo on Steam), Turbo Overkill ($19.99, free demo) and Severed Steel ($24.99). If you want fast movement against waves of combat robots, play Roboquest ($24.99, free demo) and Deadlink ($24.99, free demo). If you want the gold standard of zero filler single player level variety that inspired Titanfall 2’s campaign, play Half Life 2 ($9.99). And if you want a grappling hook, parry and kick shooter set in a sixties Cold War Soviet puppet state with rubber hose rubber hose cartoon bosses, try the free Steam demo of my game Iron Curtain Call (releasing 11 March 2027).

Each game, how its movement feels and what it shares with Titanfall 2

Each card covers what the game shares with this guide’s theme, how it plays and its verified US Steam store facts on 8 November 2026.

Iron Curtain Call

My game

Play it if you want my game.

I am building Iron Curtain Call for players who loved how Titanfall 2 never let your feet stay planted on the ground and never padded a chapter past its welcome. You swing across propaganda stages with a grappling hook, parry incoming mechanical fire, boot tin soldiers into stage hazards and fight theatrical multi phase bosses across a sixties Cold War Soviet puppet regime.

Titanfall 2

Play it if you want the movement campaign benchmark.

Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall 2 set the modern bar for single player FPS pacing: every mission introduces a fresh idea (time travel wrist switching in Effect and Cause, assembly line house building in Into the Abyss, hull to hull airship jumping in The Ark), uses it to the hilt, and moves on before it ever grows stale.

Severed Steel

Play it if you want wall runs & stunt dives.

If your favourite part of Titanfall 2 is chaining wall runs into slide shots, Severed Steel builds its entire combat system around acrobatic momentum: enemy bullets cannot hit you while you are wall running, diving through glass or backflipping over a squad.

Where my game fits

Why Titanfall 2 fans connect with Iron Curtain Call

I built Iron Curtain Call for players who want a single player shooter that respects their time and rewards movement:

Grappling hook, kick and parry in every fight. You swing across arenas, boot clockwork soldiers off balconies and parry incoming fire without ever slowing down to hide behind cover.

Set piece stages with zero open world padding. From a speeding Soviet train to a live propaganda television broadcast and a sixties Cold War carnival midway, every stage has its own rhythm.

Test the movement free right now. Both the native Steam demo (Windows, macOS, Linux) and the 60 second browser trial let you test the gunfeel and movement immediately.
