Ion Fury Reviews
Ion Fury is remarkably smooth, much like you would expect from a traditional Build game, or nearly any first-person shooter from the mid-90s.
Ion Fury can be a fun time, but you will start to feel the age of the game design before long. Only for real nostalgia junkies.
Ion Fury is one blazing fast paced experience that brings classic shooter action with many modern upgrades.
Ion Fury is fantastic. Fast paced old-schooled smooth as silk gameplay, it’s both amazing to play today while perfectly reminding me of gaming on a PC that required me to boot Windows 3.1 through DOS. If there’s one shooter that you should play this year, it’s this one!
Ion Fury is a worthy tribute to the classic Build Engine first-person shooters. It offers gripping action and gives you a chance to reminiscence about the perfect atmosphere of the 90s video games. If you're fan of the classic Doom and the like, Ion Fury might very well end up your game of the year.

Ion Fury is a game that knows what it’s about, a polished version of the very best of yesteryear with the right attitude to boot. That attitude might be disagreeable to some; however, this is far from a game that should be taken as seriously as to believe it has a stance on social politics. If you can keep that under wraps, then it’s a great little homage to the titles that were once kings of the industry and maybe, just maybe, you’ll have a bit of fun.
In the end if you are in the mood for some retro action; then Ion Fury is one that you will not want to miss.
Ion Fury is a game with a great old-school atmosphere. The story is postponed to the sidelines and the main content of the game is to shoot practically everything that moves. Though the weapon arsenal is not the largest, for killing from afar and running between enemies sufficient. In addition, the game has a great soundtrack, which is different for each level.

It has a number of stumbles, but if you want to take a 25-year blast-to-the-past, Ion Fury doesn’t surpass the FPS games of the age, but it does stand well against them, making it a good choice both for veterans of the age and for those new to the classic shooter style.
Ion Fury isn’t a bad game. In the conventional sense, it’s a very functional shooter reminiscent of the heady days of all the aforementioned titles, with that modern (albeit minimal) sprucing. But it’s so laden down with questionable and somewhat controversy-baiting humour that lets it down a tad.
Ion Fury is a great reminder of how far First Person Shooters have come in twenty years, but it also shows that sometimes the old ways of doing things can still be very entertaining.
Ion Fury is a total blast, as it doesn’t try to be anything other than a fun, challenging shooter. Giving a game like this a deep story or any other moment that isn’t comprised of killing enemies or solving puzzles would have been a detriment to its great gameplay loop and overall game design.
As someone with a lot of nostalgia for the BUILD era of PC first-person shooters, I had high hopes for Ion fury on Xbox One. Sadly, this port’s abundance of glitches, bizarre performance problems and a lack of optimization for consoles make it too frustrating to recommend. Perhaps with the magic of post-release patching, the worst of these kinks will be ironed out. However, at the time of this writing, today is not that day.
Ion Fury is an honest game with yourself and your audience. What you see is what you will find, there is no trick, trap or cardboard. Classic is the word and the flavor it offers us. Based on that it is easy to weigh if it is what you are looking for or not, if it will satisfy you or not. And despite some small bug and the handicap involved in its control with pad, making it more advisable to play with keyboard and mouse if we have that possibility, it is still a very good option on any platform. If you like the genre of that time, if you have already replayed the references from which it drinks, here is a new title to enjoy.

Ion Fury is a brilliant love letter to the shooters of the 90s thanks to its satisfying gunplay, old-school level design, and creatively brutal weaponry. It does have some imperfections here and there with the boss battles in particular standing out as one of its more underwhelming features, but overall there’s plenty here for nostalgia-loving shooting fans to enjoy as they blast through the game’s lengthy campaign.
This is a fun game harking back to the old-school with a little bit of modern flavor added in small touches here and there. It’s a solid game and well worth the price of entry for any Duke Nukem 3D fans. Anyone else will also have a blast collecting health, weapons and not relying on waypoints rather than current gen regenerating health and assists. It’s tough as nails on harder settings too, and sits as a pick-up-and-play experience worth checking out even if you don’t dig the retro style.
Ion Fury is a proposal that will amaze any shooter lover

Ion Fury is one of the best First Person Shooters to come out in years. Jaw dropping retro graphics, an awesome arsenal and action bursting from every seam, this is a must play.
Ion fury is the new creaton of Duke Nukem 3D, Prey, and Max Payne´s Team. With Voidpoint Ion Fury brings back the legendary Build Engine, famously known for classic first-person shooters like Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, and Blood. Ion Fury is the real deal!
