Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004
Been sight seeing in Ion Fury the last couple of days. It started with me playing it on my Steam Deck during lunch, and then these last couple of evenings I’ve been uncovering secrets and destroying cybernetic wannabe jedi cultists. Apparently I drank 20 cans of soda, and I even earned a rare achievement for doing some extra exploring!
Ion Fury was another game I got during the summer sale. I’ve actually been following this project ever since it still being referred to as “Ion Maiden”. It plays like something out of the Duke Nukem era, mainly because it plays on the same engine with a few modern tweaks. In fact it’s basically a Duke Nukem game but with a badass woman to replace a badass man, and a more cyberpunk type of universe. The humor is pretty much the same.
I’m only two levels in so far, but so far I’ve been pleasantly amused. I think its great that 3D Realms is still getting use out of their build engine. I mean if you’re going to waste a ton of money on Hookers and Blow you can’t afford to invest in newer game engines. So good they’ve finally found a balance.
