John Horne's FUCK IT! game reviews: ION FURY

so, that took a bit longer than expected, but here we are, another review. As the title says this one is on ION FURY, a game developed by void point and published by 3d realms. It is the second game in the bomb shell franchise, and the first i ever played, so let's go.

 You play as Shell "bombshell" Harrison, named because you look like a pornstar and have severe anger issues, a police officer for the GDF, or global defense force. you start the game in a bar, drinking your overpriced piss water- I mean drink. suddenly an explosion rings out, and your drink meets the floor, you fly into a rage, ready to wipe the floor with whatever dipshit thought they could spill YOUR drink. on a monitor an elderly scientist, grinning ear to ear is suddenly displayed, "this is a public service announcement, stay in your homes, or face death!".

well, one good spill deserves another, your drink, for his blood.

so, ion fury is build engine through and through. you see games on the doom engine all the time, but what about build? this game is fucking GOOD. the gun play feels nice, you get a nice selection as well, a revolving 40mm shotgun, incendiary vector smg, a triple barrel revolver with head-shot tech, a chain-gun, bowling bombs, and a super duper death crossbow. the enemies are tough but fair, and overall game-play is nice. the level design is also badass, offices, secret military bases, and neon streets. no set piece ever seems to overstay its welcome. There are so many secrets in this game, from twin peaks, to duke nukem, to portal references, and you aren't going to find them all.

the music. the music is decent, it's not GOOD but it's not BAD either. it's passable video game music. though i DO have that first level's them stuck in my brain harder than the half life 1 credits music.

the plot is passable, mostly used as a foundation for the action, similar to a porno. unlike a porno, you don't want to stop this game after the climax.

overall, the game is good. 9 pornos outta 10

go play, NOW
