Ion Fury: Aftershock

Just buy it, my grandson... BUY IT NOW!!! And play until the end of the world... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I have the expansion on Steam and play on the latest version of EDuke32. \o/

So Aftershock gives you around 10 new BIG levels and took me around 7 hours to complete. It introduces a new "rocket launcher" weapon that I thought was much needed in the original game. You'll also notice plenty of new powerups that you can actually hold onto and use whenever you want. I appreciate this very much instead of instantly activating them upon touching them like in a Quake or Doom game. If there's anything I didn't like, I personally felt that the vehicle you obtain during this expansion lingers for a level or two too long. Zooming around in a Jet Ski/vehicle thing was a lot of fun, but I enjoyed venturing through levels more on foot. Definitely not a deal breaker, but a minor annoyance that I ultimately overlooked. There's really not too much to say. With Aftershock, you're getting more high quality Ion Fury levels. So if you enjoyed the original game, you'll have a lot of fun with Aftershock.

Took me around 5-6 hours to beat this so it's like ~2/3 size of main campaign which is great. Levels once again are well made and very detailed, maybe even more than in the base game. New additions like extra weapon/ammo and enemies are well welcomed as well. Vehicle parts were pretty cool and add something unique to the gameplay for a while. Overall it's great DLC and if you liked the base game, this one is great deal even for full price.

If you liked Ion Fury, you're going to LOVE Aftershock. Voidpoint pushes the envelope yet again with this second helping of Ion Fury. New game mechanics to try and a series of badass vehicle stages that will have you asking for more. More nostalgic 90s PC gaming future-past references and all of the rest. Smart level design and this one is just flat out fun to play. Do yourself a favor and play it.

I don't think that it was a good addition. The controls are clunky, and you get interruped every two seconds because the way is blocked. As for the other content, it's really a mixed bad that don't improve much the original gameplay.
