A modern take on classic Build engine titles such as Duke Nukem 3D, Blood and Shadow Warrior and with updated popular culture references. The gameplay is amazing and the levels are unlike anything seen before in a Build engine game. While Ion Fury surpasses all of its Build engine predecessors in gameplay and technical innovation, it lacks its own distinct personality. The game is very enjoyable, but the lack of original personality limits the amount of time you want to spend in its world. In many ways the game's content is very nostalgia driven with all the references. If you liked Build engine games back in the day or if you just like boomer shooters in general, then a definite recommend.

This is one of my all time faves. If you like old school boom shoots like Duke Nukem or Blood, then you will enjoy this one. It's tough but fair, the soundtrack is amazing, the vibe and story are great. This is the one that got me back into shooters.

I didn't start with Doom (1993). I started with Doom (2016). That game made me ask a simple question: "Where did this feeling come from?" So I went backwards. I played Doom, Quake, Unreal, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior, DUSK, Amid Evil... and finally arrived at Ion Fury. What I expected was another excellent boomer shooter. What I got was the culmination of an entire lineage. Every few hours I'd notice another piece of FPS history woven into it. The interconnected progression reminded me of Half-Life. The industrial sewer sections evoked Doom 3. The crisp, weighty combat carried the spirit of Blood, Duke Nukem 3D, and Shadow Warrior. Even small details, like the Quake-esque grenade launcher sound, felt like quiet nods rather than cheap nostalgia. Yet Ion Fury never feels like a collage. It has its own identity. The greatest surprise wasn't the shooting, it was the level design. I found myself enjoying sewer levels because they were full of clever environmental puzzles and believable geography. The game feels like one continuous journey. You don't finish "levels"; you escape a cyberpunk city, descend underground, ride a train, and eventually emerge into the countryside. The transitions make the world feel real. This isn't just one of the best boomer shooters ever made. It's a love letter to the entire history of first-person shooters, written by people who clearly understand why those classics mattered in the first place. 10/10. A fitting culmination of one of gaming's greatest genres. https://youtu.be/SxzZXIfLc-c?si=D-HE0jaS39_jmijw

This game feels like it's from an alternate timeline where technology didn't move as quickly into true 3D environments. It is the epitome of classic FPS game design. The level design is incredible. The music rocks. Every weapon feels great to use from start to end. Exploring is rewarding. The combat never feels unfair. Where has this game been all my life?! It's perfect! I couldn't put this game down for weeks. It's an all-time great, so when I say that it would be even better with a bit less time spent in tunnels and a little tightening up the zone theming to be as strong as Zone 3 (Heskel's office building) across every zone, that is nitpicking of the highest order. I love the addition of a radar item to help find secrets. I still couldn't find them all without guides, but I was able to get about 90% of them on my own and I adored the abundance of easter egg references to other games and media. I'd love to gush more about this game, but I think my time - and yours - is better spent just playing it.
