Inexplicable Fury
For better AND worse, Ion Fury is an old-school shooter. Its levels are very well designed, it has a diverse selection of weapons, none of which feel useless, and you heal from health pickups, not through regeneration. The gameplay itself is probably genre-perfect and the badass main heroine never fails to entertain with her snarky one-liners. Ion Fury is a prequel intended to be the starting point of the Bombshell series, and having started it in the chronological order I feel I barely learned anything - the whole plot is the short readme text from the main menu and something the villain tells during the final battle. You can vaguely divine what he is up to from the environmental storytelling, which does little to justify the length of the game. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve loved playing Ion Fury (the gameplay's too solid not to enjoy it), but I feel like it should’ve either been shorter or had more story. This game keeps track of the number of secrets you find and enemies you kill, and is absolutely impossible to onehundredpercent without a guide. It pulls ALMOST every dirty trick in the book on you - from fake walls and having to interact with or blow up objects you can’t possibly know you’re meant to to find secrets to missing enemies that won’t even show up on the radar because you have to be in a specific place for them to spawn. I guess its redeeming grace is that you are never permanently locked out of a secret within a level and can almost always backtrack even several levels back within an episode. Still, going for 100% is a chore here. The game weirdly doesn’t let you delete save files through menus. If still want to clean them up and use cloud sync you can delete them from %APPDATA%\Ion Fury\ when the configuration window where you can set the resolution is up – they won’t be downloaded back because you’ve technically already clicked “PLAY” and the initial sync already happened, and won’t be in use because the game isn’t actually running at that point.
Hilft dir das weiter?
