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

Competent retro shooter

Fairly competent shooter roughly evoking HL1 and SiN era aesthetics. Kinda miss the Build engine look of the previous game, but I like this too. I have very few complaints - Item pickups give buggy feedback if any, I have missed out on so many things what I have picked up because I backed into them and never knew I picked something up. This was especially frequent with mission critical items. - Some mission critical items are really hard to find, especially the explosives. - Mole reveal and what followed in terms of story - Hated the destroy 3 towers mission. - The gravity weapon felt pointless - Some upgrade options felt like traps to waste points in. Useful early on, but quickly lost their usefulness, if they ever had that. Nice options, but there's not enough upgrade points around. - There's some... physics/geometry glitches that make the game frustrating at times. Highlight of one was a boss being thrown off into space and I had to reload since it became impossible to kill them. Though there was also a doorway I could not pass through of also. Big points for the game not feeling unfair at any point on medium difficulty.

Your average Slipgate product

Slipgates output over the years has been not stellar to be very kind. Phantom Fury does not change that. It feels unfinished and unpolished all around. The story is completly forgetable as well as the dialogue, removing them would not change the game at all. Might be even better. They set out to be what Duke Nukem Forever could not be. And somehow they could not even be the Duke Nukem Forever we got. There is no humor in this game. Zero. Beats having to listen to dead-meme humor but still dissapointing. Level design is hit and miss, way finding can be tedious and sometimes it's just not clear where the game wants you to go. Sometimes there are no leads at all. No light or other kind of clue. The weapons feel alright, better than I remember from the awful demo they put out. There are just too many of them. Would not have hurt to just combine some of them to remove inventory clutter. The enemy AI is downright broken at times. With enemies just staring into the distance even if their comrades are getting slaughter right beside them. They get stuck in walls or in the level geometry in general which makes them easy targets. Shelly has no personality whatsoever. It's such a shame to have this cool character and them doing nothing with it. Back in 2013 ROTT was kinda neat. Not great, but there was fun to be had. Janky but a love letter to shooters. Over ten years later the benefit of the doubt for the small little danish developer making cute little indie titles is long over. Rad Rodgers, Bombshell, Graven, Kingpin Reloaded???. It's time to step up the game. Stick with Ion Fury. Play Aftershock. Hope that Shelly will one day get a game that's worth it.

Needed a bit more time in the oven

For the most part this is a great game, not quite up to the level of Ion Fury, but still great. The ending needed a bit more work though in my opinion. Because the third to last level felt a bit... meh. The penultimate level was too long for its own good with most things feeling the same. And the final level had the most unecessary boss fight I've seen in a long time. Still a solid 8/10.

Buggy as hell but fun

Despite having a lot of bugs (which can literally hang up the whole computer), the gameplay is quite enjoyable. Reminds me a lot of Half Life series. I do really hope those annoying bugs get fixed, because the game is pretty good.
