Ion Fury
Description
Ion Fury's preview campaign is also available for download to all owners of "Bombshell Digital Deluxe Edition" or "Bombshell Digital Deluxe Edition Upgrade". You'll find a bonus code for Ion Fury's preview campaign in your account under More -> Serial Keys.
3D Realms and Voidpoint are proud to bring back the Build engine, which powered Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, and Shadow Warrior, in all of its hand-crafted pixelated glory. They’ve spent a lot of time tinkering under the hood to take advantage of new technology and techniques. Bigger levels, hundreds of new colors, and morphing maps that transform mid-level are all just a few of the advancements made to the engine.
Welcome to ION FURY!
Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison earned her nickname as a bomb disposal expert for the Global Defense Force. When transhumanist cult mastermind Dr. Jadus Heskel unleashes a cybernetic army on Neo DC, Shelly decides it’s time to start chucking bombs rather than diffusing them.
Her journey will leave trails of blood and gore in huge, multi-path levels filled with those famous colorful keycards and plenty of secrets and Easter Eggs to discover behind every corner. There’s also no regenerating health here, so stop taking cover and start running and gunning. Honestly, Ion Fury should probably come out on three hundred floppy disks.
Shelly’s quest to take down Dr. Heskel’s army will see her use an arsenal of weapons, all with alternate fire modes or different ammo types. Her signature revolver, Loverboy, brings enemies pain and players pleasure with single shots, or Shelly can fan the hammer Old West style. Shotguns are fun, but tossing grenades down their barrels and firing explosive rounds is even better. Bowling Bombs are just as violent and over-the-top as one would hope.
Ion Fury laughs at the idea of constant checkpoints and straight paths through shooting galleries. But just because this is a true old-school first-person shooter doesn’t mean there won’t be all the good new stuff the last two decades have brought. Headshots? Hell yeah. More physics and interactivity? You betcha. Widescreen, controller support, and Auto Saves? 3D Realms and Voidpoint took the best of both worlds and cooked it all into a bloody stew.

Why haven't you bought this game yet?
I don't normally buy new games because I'm always broke, but seeing the build engine be used in 2019, I just had to buy it. This game is an absolute blast that belongs up there with the other build engine great if you like Duke 3D, Shadow Warrior, Blood, and and/or Redneck Rampage (I dont care what anyone says, I like that game), buy this game, you'll love it. It's tough as nails with fun weapons, excellent and detailed level design with a beefy campaign filled to the brim with a million impossible-to-find secrets. The build engine is used very well too, they do things I didn't think the engine was capable of. Ion Fury is definitely worth checking out and I can't recommend this game enough. Oh, and ignore the fact I don't own this game, I bought it on steam.

Great game
It makes jokes with everything even with the "new" America's Sacred Religion (if you know what I mean). No matter who you are, you'll have the right to be offended by a joke or another. Great game from greater times before this New Age of self-destruction and deconstruction. I would prefer a male protagonist for this kind of action games (you can judge me if you want, I don't care about your politically correct dictatorship over my personal preferences - you can like as you wish also); but damn... I have to admit it that the voice of Duke Nukem's daughter is in tune with the humor of this pearl of a game. She is also fit and well-built for the job. Go girl and make your father proud! Best regards for him, the good patriarch, the old Duke Nukem! 5 Stars!

Pre-review
Being a BIG Duke3dD fan (the multiplayer beat anything we had in the mid-'90's), all I'm saying for now is, I'd be highly disappointed, if the soundtrack to Ion Maiden has no Iron Maiden. I'll update this as soon as I have played the game. For the time being, I give it five stars. Simply because the previews look Duke3D enough.

Fun trip down memory lane
This is the perfect boomer shooter. If you like games like old shooters Doom, Duke Nukem, Shadow Warrior you will like this game. The first time playing I got a rush of nostalgia the way it plays, looks, and feels is just great.
