 What is Ion Fury? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjnhRz_GP3c Ion Fury (formerly Ion Maiden because spurious lawsuits are totally metal guys) is a throwback 90’s style FPS just like DUSK and AMID EVIL but unlike both of those games which were inspired by ID Software games like Doom, Quake, and Heretic, Ion Fury is a Build Engine throwback that’s even made in Build, the first in twenty years, with 3D Realms even publishing. The game stars Shelly “Bombshell” Harris, who you probably don’t remember from that one mediocre game with her name on it a few years back, who has to wage a one-woman war against Dr. Heskel, a mad scientist, who has launched an attack on Neo Washington DC with his army of cyborg cultists. The game has been in EA for a year or so and it will be fully released on PC on August 15.     So how is it? When it comes to DUSK, AMID EVIL, and Ion Fury if Ion Fury maintains the quality of the EA content in its full release it will be probably be my favorite of the three, and DUSK and AMID EVIL were both varying degrees of fantastic. The gunplay feels great with a varied arsenal of weapons that are all useful, even your basic melee weapon, the stun baton, is actually quite powerful. The level design is also top notch with multiples avenues to go through levels with none of the obtuseness that sometimes plagued Build Engine games and with bunches of secrets hidden away. The enemy variety is nice and unlike its Build Engine predecessors Ion Fury has zero hit scanners so far. The game just looks really nice too. It’s telling to me that I had just planned to play through the EA content once when I bought the game like a month ago and just wait for the full release but it just kept pulling me back in until I beat the first campaign and bonus level on Hard and Very Hard, which I don’t do very often. The difficulty is done real well really. Keep an eye on this game if you haven't already, because its shaping up to be fantastic and here's hoping it delivers.

Some game journos don't seem to get games that are outside of the traditional modern AAA game bubble too. Have LGR's review Also Game Informer gave it a 9 and Eurogamer recommended it for a few more reviews.

Stick Figure Mafia posted:Ultra Viscera in Ion Fury isn’t even that bad? Maybe it’s just ‘cause I’ve played the demo a thousand times but it really isn’t anything like the old Build engine game equivalents

I didn't actually use Loverboy's alt-fire much at all when I played the EA stuff, but I've been definitely using the hell out of it now.

Man and I thought Wolfenstein Youngblood would be my biggest disappointment of the year.
