It also plays wonderfully, with an explosive arsenal carrying the show. Gorgeous, interactive, and destructible environments, instantly recognizable and memorable enemies and one-liners everywhere - this is the ‘90s done right. Ion Fury doesn’t feel like an imitation - it feels like a new entry. Instead, Ion Fury is built on a modified Build Engine - the same groundbreakingly beautiful engine that Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, and Shadow Warrior used. Many games try to evoke a sense of nostalgia by imitating the greats of yesteryear. Ion Fury is a game that is worth lauding, applauding, and most importantly, playing.
