Guns of Fury looks as if Metal Slug and one of the GBA Castlevania games had a baby, only that GoF lacks any kind of RPG-lite level system. Instead, you can only increase your HP via medals and your attack power by using better weapons. That's not as much of a problem, though, as the game provides new weapons around every corner. Not only that, but each weapon feels unique in how it handles (range, munition, damage type), so that despite the cornucopia of destructive toys, you never get bored of finding new ones. Besides ranged weapons, you also get several melee weapons, so if you like getting up close to the enemy, that option is just as much fun. As for the Metal Slug influence, that's not just in the visuals though there it's the most apparent. Whoever designed this understood what Metal Slug stood for and made sure that almost every inch of the screen has something destructible in it, sometimes just for visual flair but often hiding money or secrets. It's plain fun going over every screen and destroying as much as you can and it honestly never gets boring. The overall design should feel pretty familiar if you ever played any of the metroidvania line of Castlevania games. The map looks pretty much the same, sparse but functional, and you can even add your marks to each square (sadly, no notes), and for some of the upgrades, the map has some in-built hints on where to use them. You can unlock a teleporter system (it's a truck, but functions very much like a teleporter) where you add new locations to the teleport network each time you find them. Late-game, you unlock the ability to jump between save points, which makes it even easier to mop up leftover secrets. In the best metroidvania fashion, you get various movement upgrades (double jump, climbing, wall jump, and more) that allow you to reach and unlock new areas. The map is rather big with lots of areas who intricately connected, which means you aren't just finished and done with one and move on to the next, but instead traverse the entire map backtracking to old areas again and again to find secrets or discover new paths. Very satisfying, just the way most well-done MVs are. Difficulty is average. If you look for something ball-busting difficult, this isn't the game for you. While the lack of a level system means you can't out-level bosses, the many weapon options in combination with the various health potions and other health items means that you never really run out of ways to beat even the most hardened enemies. While some bosses may seem tough at first, they all have very predictable patterns that are easy to learn. I don't mind that much, but if you're in it for the challenge, this isn't the game for you. Overall, though, for me, one of the best, if not the best, metroidvania I played this year, and given how often I come back to it to find another secret or 100% it, despite having unlocked all the endings already, shows me just how addictive and fun this is.

This is a hot little MV, and I'm very glad I picked this up. PROS -- *There's always something to dodge, shoot at, duck under, etc. *The secrets you need aren't super hard to find, the ones you don't definitely feel rewarding to find *Movement is mostly solid *Now that there's a teleport system for late-game item cleanup, that part of the game is way less tedious *Devs seem really willing to listen to fan nitpicks/make good QoL changes to the game CONS -- *There's *always* something to dodge, shoot at, duck under, etc. (It's kind of a pain in the ass when you're just trying to go back a screen or two) *Some of the secrets are suuuuuuper hard to find. I had to look up what the red keycard was even for because the locations looked like set dressing and not something you could even interact with. A few other secrets require you to interact with what looks just like set dressing, which was a tad on the tedious side * Healing item abuse kind of makes the bosses trivial *Some of the hitboxes on projectiles are waaaay bigger than they appear Overall, if you're a fan of MVs or a fan of Contra/Slug games, you'll probably enjoy this. Overall: B+

This isn't a hard game like Contra or Metal Slug , it is a military themed metroidvania very similar to Blade Chimera , The Mummy Demastered and Omega Strike (check those out if you enjoyed this). You can't fire your weapon diagonally, only up and down. You also can't hold down the fire button, you have to press each time. The map is very primitive. It's just comprised of blue squares. You can at least see how rooms connect with each other. Save points, shops and fast travel points are marked, but you need to use the map markers to keep track of spots that you want to revisit. The archaic map actually results in extending the playtime of the game quite a bit, because you have no idea which spots to revisit with your new powers as you acquire them. You get different weapons and subweapons, the itemization is similar to what you get in the Castlevania metroidvanias. The music was actually quite good, with 80's action movie vibes. It can be a little tricky to 100% because it's easy to miss a few small things on the map. There's a newgame+ after you beat the game which I haven't tried. As an avid fan of metroidvania and 80's nostalgia, this game was fun and chill to play through. I like these back-to-basics style of metroidvanias. I'd rate my enjoyment a 7/10 or C+. Nothing outstanding, but a good time.

Guns of Fury surprised me with its sudden appearance at the top of new & trending, as I had not heard of it before it launched, but the prospect of a Metal Slug Metroidvania was promising, especially if its scored by Dominic Ninmark, whose work I am familiar with from Blazing Chrome. As of this writing I have not finished the game yet, but I've enjoyed my time with GoF so far. I couldn't help but be reminded of Mercenary Kings, or rather, of the game that Mercenary Kings tried to be and failed almost utterly. Guns of Fury isn't quite that game either, but it plays much better- though it STILL doesn't let you aim diagonally, the weapon balance, movement and difficulty are all vastly improved by comparison. Guns of Fury also avoids the cardinal sin committed by many indie metroidvanias by not playing games with the health system- you can take a couple of good hits from enemies and bosses, you can find health expansions and you can carry food items to heal mid-combat, Igavania style. There's no reason for any metroidvania to limit you to three hits or whatever such nonsense. Looking at you Rebel Transmute. This is is one of the least painful experiences I've had playing a game that favors a controller in recent memory. I heartily recommend it if you enjoy run-and-gun games or Metroidvanias.

First off: Steam Deck users....I haven't put much time into it, but it worked flawlessly out of the box. No change to proton or launch options needed. From what i have played so far of it, here are my feelings: Is Guns of Fury a great game? Its...decent. Its not going to blow your mind, but it does a good job of making you want to keep playing. This game is an interesting hybrid of metroidvania and side scrolling action. But it doesn't really nail either of them...and that actually works in its favor. It is built like a metroidvania, but is lacking something in the metroidvania feel. It also feels like a Metal Slug clone, but doesn't exactly feels like it nails that either. Instead it is somewhere in the middle, but it works together in a good way. However, after saying all this, what is important is that if you are looking for a Metal Slug game, or looking for just a metoridvania...you might not get exactly what you wanted out of it. There is also two things that don't carry over for me well with it: First you can only aim orthogonally (up, down. left, and right), but your enemies can aim diagonally as well. It doesn't exactly feel right. It feels more cheap to increase the difficulty. Second, there are sections that feel amateurish where you can hit an enemy but there is no way they can hit you, and vice versa....even though it looks like you or they would be on a level that could be done. But that is nitpicking that is easy to get over with adjustment. In the end if you are looking for a specific genre in it, you might walk away not satisfied. But if you are looking for the blend of the two genres, this game will keep you playing.
