A retro shooter done right

This is hands down the best retro shooter made using the build engine. It does not pretend to be retro, it is what would be done with best hands on deck back in the late 90s. The game has the imperfections of Ken Silvermans engine which makes it the real thing. Levels are huge and contain amazing detail. Weapons are properly scaled. The amount of easter eggs and popculture references is ludacris. Drawbacks? The difficulty is pretty 90s, the game doesnt hold back. If you consider this an issue. And no multiplayer. I would enjoy that.

Needs more flesh around the bones

Many brilliant things (art, style, music, gameplay), as many people have pointed out. However, I have one major gripe with the game: it does not have the same level of detail that best moments in classic 3D realms games: peeing in toilets and washing your hands. Explanation: of course those things are just weird side things that have no bearing on gameplay, but those things showed attention to detail and crude work that went into those classic games. This one is great, but it does seem kinda shallow, compared to them. Hopefully, when the full game is released, many small additions will be there and the final product will show more polish. Otherwise it's a 5/5, I am just afraid that it will not live up to its expectations.

A very good first person shooter, simply

It may seem weird that my biggest gripe with this game is that it's too long. I can finish Doom 1, 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and several other old shooters without feeling like they dragged on, but Ion Fury stretches things almost to the breaking point. Taken on their own, each level is really well crafted, detailed, cleverly laid out... but by the time the final boss finally died in a massive explosion, I felt like I couldn't possibly stomach playing any games with military installations and nondescript industrial areas again for at least one month. The bits of scenic variety you get is refreshing but too rare and short lived. The, comparatively, more bite sized levels of the 90s shooters that this game clearly takes it's inspirations from felt way more like they had their own personality and stood out more clearly in your mind. In Ion Fury, it's a blur of switches, pipes, ladders, crates and techy looking walls. Still. Rock solid combat, great level design, really good weapon selection (all weapons are useful, none get old to use), fun enemies (although, given the length of the game, it really needed just a few more types) and also really nice, artfully handled graphics. Very recommended. You probably know whether you'd like this sort of game or not before you even try it.

A true "late '90s-style" retro shooter!

This game stretches the ancient "Build" engine to its maximum extents, enhancing nearly every aspect of what we liked about older "Build" games while ditching most of what we didn't like. The game's maps flow in a similar manner to the first Unreal games (maps load continously). While it uses the same old formula of finding blue/green/red access cards, the intent of the game was clearly to "keep it '90s," and this approach makes this game worth every penny. You can see elements of the eDuke32 ehancements to the engine (such as correct perspective projection so that panning up/down does not result in badly warping geometry). The developer also tried to keep it as retro looking as possible with the use of sprites and voxel (3D pixel) art instead of polygonal 3D models wherever possible. I really enjoy the pop-culture references from 20+ years ago that are scattered throughout the maps and by Bombshell's one-liners. If you were a fan of games built on this engine from the 1990s (Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior, Redneck Rampage, etc), then you really should pick this one up. Once you start playing, it pulls you in, and is very hard to stop playing. This is, quite possibly, the best "Build" game. The best part of the game has to be the cyber-punk retro 1990s maps that are both huge, and model believable locations, such as shopping malls, downtown areas, office buildings, etc. The chunky, pixelated textures, voxel art, and colored lighting effects are visually charming to anyone who remembers the transition from MS-DOS gaming to Windows 95 and early 3D acceleration with 3DFX Voodoo cards. My two criticisms are the shotgun's alt-fire (should just be a right-click to launch a grenade), and the spider demons, which chew health points very quickly. Thankfully, in most cases, we have enough space to prioritize the spiders. Big thanks to the YouTube channel "LGR" for getting word of this game out there. This is how I (and many others) found out about it.

The shooter I didn't know I wanted

Ion Fury is phenominal, level design, gunplay, and movement all feel great. I'm impressed by how well 3D Realms and Voidpoint have made use of the Build Engine, 4/5 stars because of the devs unfortunately planning to remove some fun and quirky voice lines to appease a demographic comprised of people who won't even play the game in the first place.
