A very good first person shooter, simply

It may seem weird that my biggest gripe with this game is that it's too long. I can finish Doom 1, 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and several other old shooters without feeling like they dragged on, but Ion Fury stretches things almost to the breaking point. Taken on their own, each level is really well crafted, detailed, cleverly laid out... but by the time the final boss finally died in a massive explosion, I felt like I couldn't possibly stomach playing any games with military installations and nondescript industrial areas again for at least one month. The bits of scenic variety you get is refreshing but too rare and short lived. The, comparatively, more bite sized levels of the 90s shooters that this game clearly takes it's inspirations from felt way more like they had their own personality and stood out more clearly in your mind. In Ion Fury, it's a blur of switches, pipes, ladders, crates and techy looking walls. Still. Rock solid combat, great level design, really good weapon selection (all weapons are useful, none get old to use), fun enemies (although, given the length of the game, it really needed just a few more types) and also really nice, artfully handled graphics. Very recommended. You probably know whether you'd like this sort of game or not before you even try it.

A true "late '90s-style" retro shooter!

This game stretches the ancient "Build" engine to its maximum extents, enhancing nearly every aspect of what we liked about older "Build" games while ditching most of what we didn't like. The game's maps flow in a similar manner to the first Unreal games (maps load continously). While it uses the same old formula of finding blue/green/red access cards, the intent of the game was clearly to "keep it '90s," and this approach makes this game worth every penny. You can see elements of the eDuke32 ehancements to the engine (such as correct perspective projection so that panning up/down does not result in badly warping geometry). The developer also tried to keep it as retro looking as possible with the use of sprites and voxel (3D pixel) art instead of polygonal 3D models wherever possible. I really enjoy the pop-culture references from 20+ years ago that are scattered throughout the maps and by Bombshell's one-liners. If you were a fan of games built on this engine from the 1990s (Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior, Redneck Rampage, etc), then you really should pick this one up. Once you start playing, it pulls you in, and is very hard to stop playing. This is, quite possibly, the best "Build" game. The best part of the game has to be the cyber-punk retro 1990s maps that are both huge, and model believable locations, such as shopping malls, downtown areas, office buildings, etc. The chunky, pixelated textures, voxel art, and colored lighting effects are visually charming to anyone who remembers the transition from MS-DOS gaming to Windows 95 and early 3D acceleration with 3DFX Voodoo cards. My two criticisms are the shotgun's alt-fire (should just be a right-click to launch a grenade), and the spider demons, which chew health points very quickly. Thankfully, in most cases, we have enough space to prioritize the spiders. Big thanks to the YouTube channel "LGR" for getting word of this game out there. This is how I (and many others) found out about it.

The shooter I didn't know I wanted

Ion Fury is phenominal, level design, gunplay, and movement all feel great. I'm impressed by how well 3D Realms and Voidpoint have made use of the Build Engine, 4/5 stars because of the devs unfortunately planning to remove some fun and quirky voice lines to appease a demographic comprised of people who won't even play the game in the first place.

Re-review(my older review was deleted)

- Ion Maiden is a fantastic game not without its flaws. The controls and aiming are tight, movement is solid, art and spirits are top notch. This is the most advanced and best technical of any Build Engine game. It is not better than Duke and not anywhere near as good as Blood. Shelly and Heskel are good characters, both voiced well. Music and audio is great. Shelly does need an alternative bubbly voice and a busty alt model for 90s fans. - The arsenal Shelly has is decent but feels lacking. Ion Maiden is lacking a true Inventory system, the only 2 items she has is a medpack, and a 5+ sec radar that shows where the enemies are. she has a few Quake 1 style powerups she can grab that only last for 30 sec. Here is a massively missed opportunity Ion Maiden had; Shelly needed a bigger inventory system and even an upgrade system where she could swap out different gear she is wearing. The possibilities of being able to upgrade or change armors, gadgets, gear would help increase repeatability. She needs more features. -This leads into my next issue,the enemies. all of them are designed and look great, their AI is well designed too. The issue comes with their visibility, most of the enemies perfectly hide no matter the level, now this makes sense and would easily be solved by an item or gear that would allow Light Amplification or a tactical visor item. Their voices are too low, their colors are too dull, there needs to be a bigger variety, and the flying units are THEE most dangerous and will kill you easily if you aren't paying attention. again, an item to help you pick them out easier would be good if you keep the dull style. The roaster doesn't change up until about half way. Her weapons are for the most part standard, there is a lack of standouts. With the vast open maps there is a great need of scoped rifle or something with zoom to pick out well hidden enemies. She needs a few new sci/fi weapons and to replace the redundant ones. No Rocket Launcher? GTFO

I picked this up after seeing Kilg0re play it a bit and it reminded me of old school FPS games. Graphically it's beautiful and how it feels is really good. Some nice secrets and approaches to objectives and a very polished first chapter of the campaign so far. Cannot wait for the full release and definitely recommend it if you think it's your style of game!
