Description

While Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison earned her codename defusing bombs for the Global Defense Force, when evil transhumanist mastermind Dr. Jadus Heskel unleashes the members of his cybernetic cult onto the streets of Neo D.C., she knows it's time to start causing explosions instead of preventing them.

Her quest to slay Heskel leaves a trail of carnage throughout huge, multi-path levels filled with gigantic explosions, more secret areas than we can count, and inhuman foes behind every corner. There's no regenerating health here; stop taking cover and start running and gunning.

Shelly's crusade to take down Heskel's army will see her leave destruction in her wake with a wide arsenal of weapons, complete with alternate fire modes and different ammo types. Her signature revolver, the tri-barreled Loverboy, brings enemies pain and players pleasure with both single shots and Old West-style hammer fanning action. Who needs a regular shotgun when you can load buckshot into your grenade launcher? Violent, over-the-top Bowling Bombs rip enemies apart with ease.

Ion Fury laughs at the idea of mandatory checkpoints and straight paths through shooting galleries. But, just because this is a true old-school first-person shooter doesn't mean we've ignored all the good new stuff the last two decades have brought. Headshots? Hell yeah. More physics and interactivity? You betcha. Widescreen, controller support, and auto saves? 3D Realms and Voidpoint have taken the best of both worlds and cooked it all into a bloody stew.

Easily, the best game of the whole "saga". A great boomer shooter, powered by a build engine. If you enjoyed Duke Nukem 3D back in the day, you must play this. Level design is great, lot of references, humor, guns,

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.

Hard to believe it's 2026 and the best shooter I played in years is very young, edgy, distant cousin of Duke, Caleb and Doomguy at the same time. Devs, you outdone yourself with this one. BTW - who shmucking need unreal

This has to be the BEST game I've ever played in my entire life. Everything about this title is just pure perfection: the controls, the exploration, the overall combat system, the difficulty, a very intuitive level

ION FURY is a standout boomer shooter, and has quickly become one of my favorites within the genre. This game is a spiritual sequel to DUKE NUKEM 3D, and it runs on the same legendary game engine, Ken Silverman's BUILD

Ion Fury is awesome! Just completed the game on Maximum Fury (hardest) difficulty. The presentation in this game is fantastic - it absolutely looks like a game from the 1990s in the best way possible. The gunplay is
