Ion Fury Review

Ion Fury is an old-school shooting fan's dream. All of the mechanics are intact, from non-regenerative health to the ability to carry a full arsenal of weapons, and the level design feels intuitive and encourages exploration without needing waypoints. Some of the new mechanics fit in well, but a few, like the need to reload, only increase the difficulty on a tough game. Seeing all of this done on a decades-old engine is enough to convince you of the versatility of those old FPS engines.

Ion Fury laughs at the idea of mandatory checkpoints and straight paths through shooting galleries. But, just because this is a true old-school first-person shooter doesn’t mean we've ignored all the good new stuff the last two decades have brought.

Unless you hate the old FPS style, Ion Fury is a must-have for your gaming library. Ion Fury was an absolute treat to play and truly felt like I was reliving my teenage years again. The action is non-stop through a vast campaign with a nice assortment of weapons at your disposal. The game is loaded with secrets such as handy item drops and amusing easter eggs. While it’s a shame the game didn’t launch with multiplayer, we’re told it’s being developed and will be added later.

Atlantis Evolution, the 'brain child' of Adventure Games, is one of the strangest, yet most brilliiant games I have ever had the fortune to download from BIG FISH!It has everything: fantasy, exceptional computer-generated graphics, great length, engrossing storyline, with Good always struggling against Evil, throughout, and a level of challenge that's in a class of its own. Rated 5 out of5 bySergeij fromAdventure Games Has Reached Its Zenith In This Great Game! I can't say enough about this cerebral, yet just-plain-fun game that the Adventure Company has come up with.Just a word of encouragement: HANG IN THERE when being chased by the Guardians. Plato atlantis map. This is a very difficult game to get through from the 'get-go.'

I was disappointed that controller support was a bit lacking and the lack of Steam Achievements was a downer. With that said, the game delivers where it counts. Ion Fury is an excellent homage to classic ’90s first-person shooters like Blood, Shadow Warrior, and Duke Nukem 3D.

As long as you know what your’e getting into with Ion Fury, there’s not a whole bad that I can say about it. There is some repetition and a little bit of button-hunting and I didn’t care for some of the raw simplicity of some of the bosses, but all in all, I had a great time. So I think it’s fair to say that with Ion Fury, you really get what you probably came for — an old school FPS experience with a few modern refinements that make it a standout game. That goes for both for genre newcomers as well as veterans looking for a blast of nostalgia. Plus, with the budget price of $25, it makes it very affordable.
