Awesome game
I loved the game, the art style is amazing, it's really fun to play. Old style FPS, with great modern mechanics. The market needs more games like this.

Phantom Sequel
I am playing this series in chronological order and I am struggling to tell whether Phantom Fury is an improvement over Ion Fury. My main beef with Ion Fury was its bare-bones almost non-existent plot. Phantom Fury has a proper story, albeit one, told in a somewhat jumbled order, one that explains what the kickass main heroine is all about and why she’s doing what she’s doing. However, I’m starting to suspect that these games are rather loosely connected in terms of their plot, and likely intended more as technical explorations of their respective subgenres. The gameplay… has somewhat suffered. While the more appropriate checkpoint system replaced the abusable free-for-all ‘save anywhere’ mechanic seen in Ion Fury, several changes feel like steps backward: -there are too many weapons (literally more than there are types of enemies), their selection is awkward (3 or 4 are mapped to a single button. And no, it doesn’t remember your last selection when you switch back to that button). -the game is too generous with ammo (even on the hardest difficulty). -I got irreversibly stuck a few times during my playthrough and had to reload the last checkpoint. That said I am very grateful that Phantom Fury doesn’t have any secrets/enemy counters and there’s no completionist pressure. And if you can stomach the weapons/ammo situation, the shooting itself will still be fun, just a bit less tight and satisfying than in Ion Fury. At the end of the day we have a somewhat messier gameplay, which is balanced out by a clearer narrative. It’s still a pretty OK FPS, and one without the annoying regenerating health system!

It's a fun game on it's own merits
Bought and played on Steam before it turned around here anyway. As a boomer shooter Phantom Fury is a Half-Life like FPS that on it's own provides quite a few hours of good fun. It's jank, sure, though I personally have not experienced the hellish levels of it that I've seen mentioned elsewhere. Played through the whole campaign in medium difficulty in around three sessions and only experienced one bug ever that forced me to reload a checkpoint. Though admittedly YMMV on this point. My only real issue with the game was that the soundtrack was almost inaudible most of the time, though it seems that was fixed with patch #2 on Steam, which should be already included in this version. Personally, I feel like this game has the notoriously bad reputation it has just because it's a follow up to ION Fury, which is without a doubt a much, much better game. Though IMHO, that comparison is too unfair since among boomer shooters both new and old, ION Fury is much better than almost everything else. Though, in the end I'm giving Phantom Fury 4 stars because I gave 5 stars to ION Fury. Though I will mention that I feel tempted to knock Phantom Fury one extra star because the devs directly told me that the game wasn't coming to GOG ever and then it came to GOG anyway. I would have preferred to wait and buy the game here to support GOG and even though I feel burned by that bit of dishonesty, at the end of the day I like this game enough to not want to hurt it because of some dev tomfoolery.

O_O It's so good
I think this game is awesome, I dont get the negativity, but maybe that was before the game got fixed.. But I am having a blast with this one. I love shelly, and I like this game even more then Ion fury, as this is pretty to look at, and not as dark, and the gun play is more fun... especially using the loverboy is super fun
