    A thrillingly authentic take on the first-person shooter's 90s heyday, delivered with nerdish enthusiasm. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    It’s a game where old-school decisions too often trump good ones. A blast from a past I never lived through, where puerile humour and “area complete” screens tease you about not being a “real player”. Ion’s tongue might be in its cheek, but I’ve got little interest in what it’s saying.

    Buy it today and lose all content the next day.

    Edit: The game is not getting censored anymore, but people are most likely still going to remember the « betrayal » to some extent. The company needs to take this as a lesson and move forward. Nobody knows how they'll censor their future games after this, but this game is worth buying and playing if you like old school FPS.    … Full Review »

    Not too impressed. Feels like a Duke mod that should have been released for free. Very bland and redundant level design. Did they have anyNot too impressed. Feels like a Duke mod that should have been released for free. Very bland and redundant level design. Did they have any Q/A? Its either super easy or impossible. Not very well optimized either, I've got a pretty decent machine and yet it struggles. Pretty telling that 3DR didn't even make the game themselves. Their last few releases have been awful. Hope they at least paid these VoidPoint guys well.… Full Review »

    Have to be honest, Ion Fury is pretty lame. AI is weird and all over the place, weapons and enemies don't seem balanced, everything about itHave to be honest, Ion Fury is pretty lame. AI is weird and all over the place, weapons and enemies don't seem balanced, everything about it is very generic too. 3D Realms has great PR, no question about that. Its just the game isn't that fun. Its nowhere near Duke 3D or Blood. I don't understand what everyone is raving about, especially the "professional" critics. Had this come out in the 90's, I'm pretty sure it would have been lost in the shuffle. You are better off buying one of the classics for $5-$10, than spending $25 on this. Just my two cents.… Full Review »
