I post about Ion Fury a bunch, even if it's "throwback shooter", it feels incredibly faithful to the tone and quality of the classic Build Engine fps trio even though it seems to benefit from some modern things. It could've gone a bit bolder in terms of it's tone or had some more pulp-y vibes in it but even as is, it's a very solid shooter.

Stuff like Nightmare Reaper gives me very uneasy feeling that someone's just cashing in on the throwback fps trend.

Haven't played Dusk but I believe I'll end up playing that one too before long.

Yeah the rocket uzifags will also shoot with their Uzi.
Also do the troopers spawn ghosts after suiciding? I played the shareware episode on Who Wants Some Wang [or skill 3] and I think I saw one guy suicide and then later his corpse spawned a ghost. I later switched to Skill 2 because Skill 3 was constant save / load bs and the game has plentiful instadeaths even then but I haven't seen the suiciders spawn ghosts... though I usually don't let them suicide.

Personally I like the Ion Fury weapons, I hate when guns feel wimpy or underpowered. Now of course it will be cool when IF gets that expansion and hopefully new enemies and maybe also new weapons hmmm?

But right now it feels like they have a good coverage of the basics. Like yeah no, I don't really want for a weapon to feel like it is utter trash like the DOOM pistol.
Like especially for the checkpoint save system that IF seems to want to have the players mostly relying on I feel like the enemy balance is mostly fine although I thought it was odd that the game introduced the zombies really late to the game when you think about how utterly unthreatening they are?

I suppose they could have more enemy types like say a flame trooper or some kinda heavy weapons guy with a minigun that drops chaingun ammo as well?

An archvile equivalent could be neat as well or like some kind of necromancer that keeps summoning mutant zombies or whatever. But the basic enemy selection they have now is honestly fine for the game.

I love Ion Fury!
Had a real blast with the game and hoping that the expansion will deliver a good amount of similar grade content. Who knows, maybe we'll even get a full sequel... or more expansions.

Nice.
