i had a lot of fun playing it. I have an autistic friend who loves boomer shooters so i played through it and streamed it to him because he asked, but I really ended up loving it too.
tbh i thought the [female duke nukem] thing was hot
that aside, game was p good. i dont normally play fps much less "boomer shooters"
worst part was the bosses, easily.
One of the few good new boomer shooters. Game is an 8/10 overall but the soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal and brings it up to a 9.5/10. I will play any sequel or DLC they make as long as they bring this guy back.
game's pretty gud, but suffers a lot from lack of enemy variety, coupled with personally being too long compared to the scenery offered, most of the maps kinda blend together apart from the jungle bit
Great for what it was, but it's absolutely insane that it STILL has NO multiplayer. Even if they couldn't fit it in at launch, they could have released it as DLC later on. It's no wonder the game died off
They claimed they were going to but it just never happened just like the DLC.I wanted to play through it split screen with my son but I guess it wasn't meant to be.
It's a shame because I feel like it must have sold pretty well for what it was but for whatever reason the team just didn't follow it up despite saying they were going to. Was it just WFH Covid shit fricking them or what? I really am curious what the hell went wrong.
I didn't even play this game, but every time I see it I get mad at Iron Maiden (the band) AGAIN, for forcing them to change the name of this game from "Ion Maiden" because of some gay copyright thing, which shouldn't even apply, because thE BAND IRON MAIDEN DOESN'T OWN THE CONCEPT OF THE IRON MAIDEN
AND ALSO THEY WANTED TO MAKE SOME STUPID MOBILE GAME
YES I'M MAD

They made other claims like Shelly Harrison is a nod to whoever the frick Harrison in the band. Shit like that. You claim multiples things are references and being ripped off so it doesn't look like so flimsy.
The point is, the game was coming out in months and these types of lawsuits drag out for literally years. So it's either they could delay the games release for years and fight a lawsuit and spend millions just to keep the name or just fricking change it. Who cares.
Phantom Fury sounds like a pretty cool name I think. And maybe if we get more games it's going to be 'X Fury'. The Fury series.
>Aftershock
It almost feels like Ion Fury got the Duke Nukem "vaporware" curse. Voidpoint has been talking about the "Aftershock" DLC to Ion Fury 1, AND a direct sequel for years now, and yet neither are anywhere to be seen.
You are confused. Voidpoint aren't making Phantom Fury. Voidpoint are literally like 4 dudes who have their day jobs and work on the DLC in their spare time. Phantom Fury is being worked on by the Interceptor, who made previous Bombshell games and RoTT 2013.
Maybe they learned. To be fair, I don't get the hype. Most of the trailer footage is Shelly fighting some generic soldiers. And the part where she whips out a minigun and it does like no damage to the enemies on the screen is just lol.
>Phantom Fury is being worked on by the Interceptor, who made previous Bombshell games and RoTT 2013.
Jesus this is the worst news I've ever heard. I pray that project fails miserably and never releases.

There goes my excitement.

Wasn't Interceptor's CEO also the project lead on Iron Fury? Maybe he's gotten his shit together and Phantom Fury will actually be good.
worst boom n shot MC ever. They didn't even keep her sexy like she was originally designed all those years ago. At the very least the devs were sensible enough to include a mute dialogue option.
Solid but slightly lacking in enemy variety, the arsenal could have done with some tuning too. Very satisfying guns but it would be cool if they were a bit more interactive with the enemies ala nu-doom(extreme) or blood(just right). I really enjoyed seeing them go ham with the level design.
>no gyro controls on PS4 just because
I thought it was going to have it because it is a thing on switch and the switch version is somehow stuck at 30fps so I said frick that. Stupid fricking devs.
Dusk runs at 60
Doom 3 runs at 60
Quake 1/2 both run at 60
Duke Nukem 3d runs at 60
And yet they can't manage to make the game run at 60 on switch? And they can't put gyro control options on PS4?
Garbage devs.
The konami code unlocks the frame rate on switch. The issue is it's all over the place so they decided to lock it to 30. Which is fair. But if you feel like you can put up with it wildly fluctuating the. Just do up up down down left right left right baba
You liked Bombshell more than Ion Fury? You must have worked on that game because I can't imagine anyone else having that opinion. It's absolute dogshit.
>banned from 3DR >Banned from New Blood >Banned from the Quake mapping server >Banned from Duke4 forum server (that has Ion Fury Devs in it) >Banned from Rebellion (sniper elite/alienVpredator)
That's insane to me. They're so fricking satisfying, and not just with the homing throws either.
Loved it. Popping headshots with Loverboy (without high noon) is so satisfying and it has my favorite shotgun in any video game. Still waiting on Aftershock.
It's such a good shotgun, one of my favourites in all of gaming.

garbage
It was alright, but the enemy variation was hot garbage.
Easily the best build engine game ever made. Definitely not made for plebs.
good. im sure the dlc would be great if it would ever actually release. same with phantom fury. 3d realms sucks.
i had a lot of fun playing it. I have an autistic friend who loves boomer shooters so i played through it and streamed it to him because he asked, but I really ended up loving it too.
Too many sewer/underground facility levels.
kino fps, better than nu-doom
Pretty good, I liked the Quake 2-esque setup with its hub worlds. My main issue is that the weapons were all pretty boring as far as Build games go.

It was ogay
Duke Nukem but worse. And Duke Nukem was already Doom but worse.
Say her name!
I had a really good time with the game, though I think some of the "facility" environments dragged on for too long. Also, I hated the main character.

Me too honestly. Such a lame fricking move and Ion Maiden is so much better of a name.
What?
the iron maiden is a fricking medieval torture device they ripped off to be edgy. What a bunch of pearl clutching corporate homosexuals

boring. dusk is better.
*Amid Evil
Great. Unironically liked it more than Quake
I thought it was okay.
Ion Fury? More like Ion tired of waiting for the fricking DLC and the sequel they announced like three years ago.
not enough porn
The only good weapon is the pistol.
>t. aimlet and brainlet
The Bowling Bombs alone prove you're wrong.
They promised multiplayer then never delivered.
Like a dozen usermaps in 6 years cus nobody wants to frick with mapster.
Aftershock LOL
Disappointing.

Aftershocks is being worked on for free, so it's unsurprising it's taking a while. They're showing a build of it next week at GDC.

Theres a duke nukem mod that adds her and all duke content into a single game.
Post the original design.
Shelly we got is way hotter.
It was ok, waaaaay to overhyped by morons who don't play games.

don't know, never played it, i don't play games with female main characters because i'm not gay

Those were made by excellent programmers in times when making things optimal was a must.

I'm tired of FPS. I liked the original concept more even if it was clunky and buggy.

Great but if they don't release aftershock or phantom fury then I'm going to nut all over their discord server in rage.

I went into sgt mkIVs discord and got randomly banned by an 11 year old he gave mod privileges to
never joined a game server since
Don't like bowling bombs. The entire time I played it I just wished I had Duke's pipe bombs.
