A so-so follow up to a far better game

Ion Fury was an amazing game that pushed the build engine to the limits helped kick off the neo boomer shooter trend. Phatom fury on the other hand goes for an early 2000s feel that seems to be going for duke nukem forever early beta vibes. Which would be fine, IF the game was good. unfortunately, much like bombshell, is just average at best. The retro 2000s ish looking visuals look good for what its trying to do, but it would be more impressive if, like Ion Fury, had pushed an older engine like unreal or goldsource to its limits, but instead its just modern unreal so it ends up looking artificial in some areas such as character models. It doesn't help that even post patch, the game has a lot of bugs, bad AI and poor performance. The gameplay is descent but would have been better if return guns hadn't been nerfed and the shot gun split into a pump action double barrel and a triple barrel, neither of which are good unlike ion fury's shotgun. The new weapons are a bit better, thankfully. Overall, just an average fps that would have been better recieved if it had been its own thing instead of following up ion fury, but I guess slipgate didn't like the fact that they were one upped by voidpoint and just couldn't let bombshell go.

Do Not Buy Unless On Steep Discount

Under \Phantom Fury\Phoenix\ there is a file entitled Changelist.txt which states: "Bug Fixes and General Tweaks [*]Fix entire game" Phantom Fury is the very definition of a minimum viable product, shippable but just barely. Published out of apathy more than passion, and it shows big time. I have enjoyed many other "janky" FPSs and I generally like games with interactive environments. Not this game. In the very first area I go to stack two boxes on top of each other and they collapse instantly, the physics will not allow for this kind of interaction easily. Almost immediately I notice the hud does not consistently display pickup messages – pickups only sometimes display in the corner. Imagine playing Doom and picking up ammo or health only sometimes displays a message (how the hell does a bug like that even happen?) Enemies stand, shoot and die in incredibly unsatisfying ways. They are both stiff and weightless in a way I have only ever seen in cheap unity asset flips. I pick up and start using the bowling bombs, THE most iconic weapon in the Bombshell series, something that was perfected in Ion Fury, and they feel *awful* to use and are difficult to aim – lacking any sense of momentum or destruction. Everything I have encountered so far with this game has been just frustratingly unpolished and thrown together. It is not worth the price even at a 50% discount, I highly recommend to skip this one until a very steep discount. Even if you are like me and really like Ion Fury. It is overall a very disappointing experience.

Pretty on the outside, shallow inside

Not even a quarter into the second level and I gave up. Whilst the game looks gorgeous, the many underlying problems I had with it turned me off to the point of asking for a refund. From the broken physics, underwhelming weapons, and lobotomised enemy AI to the half-baked UI, awkward writing, and areas that look explorable being blocked off by invisible walls, this game isn't even so bad it's good, it's just plain bad. Stick with Ion Fury and the Aftershock DLC, much more value for your money and infinitely more fun to play.

Road Movie

Has some Highlights, differs very much from Mission to Mission. More like a Melange of popular ~2000 Shooters. Some Half-Life/SIN/DeusEx/Unreal but also GoldenEye i think. i got well entertained in the Midsection to the End. The Beginning is rather bland but Missions become more and more scenic and entertaining. Does not reach IonFury

Pretty Good, Definitely Some Rough Parts

Played: Version 17276 (22 days old - only version at the time of writing) PC used: R5 5600x / RTX 3060 (12gb) / Win 10 Pro 10.0.19045 Phantom Fury reminds me a lot of Deus Ex and Half-Life, There's a lot to like but other things feel a bit lacking, I'll start with the good: Lots of very unique weapons that sound and feel solid, only one felt underpowered, Great Upgrade system for your character and weapons which can really change your play style. Map Design was great, visually fantastic and layout wise its easy to read (got lost once or twice though), some hidden level oddities gave me a good chuckle. World interactions feel like Deus Ex, for the most part its really well done. Terminals let you control things and the logs add some world building, many helpful items that you can throw/hold or stack. Pretty solid Enemies too, they run fast, take cover, flank, flush you out with grenades or rushing, and there's good variety of them to face. Music was excellent and I only wish there weren't so many areas with no music. Ohh and the minigames were good too, loved the air hockey table. Now the bad: Handful of bugs that range from being momentary to intrusive needing a game restart. One upgrade bug persisted in a later level and that hindered me till the end, very annoying. Movement and physics reminds me of Half-Life 2 which is good but some things like stacking or throwing can be clunky at times. Story is great in concept but it needed to be fleshed out more, especially for the later levels, I would gladly replace two early levels for two late game levels. The plot felt rushed at times and sadly some parts of the trailer never happen in game which was a major bummer, even the Blade cameo felt WAY too short, was hoping he'd be around for at least 3 levels. Sadly no enemies from Ion Fury make a return and I kind of wish they did to spice things up. Lastly not all weapons could be upgraded, wish they could, more than two options each would've been nice. 7/10
