Ion Fury: Aftershock


Development in free time and meddling of COVID caused production of add-on to Ion Fury on more than four years. A final proclaimed date of coming was in couple of days. A game was supposed to appear on GOG and Steam. It became available on the last in late time while twelve of midnight passed in Honolulu, but Ion Fury: Aftershock wasn’t released in October 2 on GOG anywhere in the world. Requirement of original game reminded times, which were twenty years ago. Nevertheless, I had reasons not to pay and I downloaded appeared free version.


It’s instant comeback to nineties in recreated period’s setting. I stopped at advertisement posters for read them, as any inscription. It made me laughing and phone numbers have been pleasing me. Composed music playing in few levels from beginning is adapted to spirit of decade though they haven’t strong in comparison with then hits. Other melodies, which doesn’t follow to time, make a big techno impression. Ion Fury: Aftershock had possibilities to convince that the game could have been developed in nineties if indicator, which show where you left your motorcycle, wouldn’t exist what was offending me. I could care for myself as I did in nineties and zeroes! I don’t need arrows to where ride bike. Though I lost few times. Nobody should point me on aid kit when I have low health again as that did original Ion Fury.


Voidpoint made elaborated levels, which comfortable complete and you have wish to research them, and same savviness was with little quantity of amusing riddles. Placement of hostiles is thoughtful too, but many times their appearance was after pushing leverage and picking up card. More than once will repeat with flying and shooting rockets monsters invade after Dr. Jadus Heskel finishes his identical dry speech on TV screens. His every appearance is always about soon demise of protagonist Shelly Harrison. Screenplay always didn’t take big attention in first-person shooters of nineties. I would listen nothing instead Dr. Jadus Heskel and general Rocco Rockford who repeats own line in about Shelly must stop chasing Heskel and he will eventually send own forces, which will in combine with evil doctor. I don’t get connection in this script. Of all talks is about taxpayers’ is one is great.


Developers were unlimited in time, they could make proper testing. I hadn’t often nuances in Ion Fury as that I experienced a little more in Ion Fury: Aftershock. Bullets and rockets of advisory creatures can reach me through walls and enemies were on the other side as well a couple of times. Sometimes I could see through textures. Not frequent, but I had that when I wanted to load game and it doesn’t execute command at first button pressure.

Fixture of technical mistakes in asking as familiar physics of jumping that it can’t activate when it’s important in crossing abyss and that’s not real if I jump forward and push back makes a radical reverse after few meters in air. There were moments when I knew that I shot first what the game didn’t want to admit it. Move down through ladders was the most and only difficult in the game – a personage touched and returned on position.


However, gameplay still divine and new enemies, added one weapon and variety of bullets make a perfect game. There were given more fun for bringing death. Explosive fractions of shotgun is wonderful for mass killing. Gas grenade is effective against teleporting energy monsters. Introduced portable Home Wrecker is excited in solving with big quantity of hostiles with both regimes. Incredible items as bullet time, which I was keeping and use in fighting against big bunch of adversaries. A motorcycle, which can move on ground and on water surfaces, was slow and clumsy due to limited space and jump doesn’t want to work in needful places what was initially. Then I’ve got a lot of excitement in riding and annihilating with installed Home Wrecker. Playthrough of Ion Fury: Aftershock is variable and it was becoming more hyping by taking in the end almost linear walking through level as that was in good times. I would wish to pay for this game.
