Product Description
Ion Fury is a Fantastic tribute to the classic first-person shooters of the ’90s, developed by Voidpoint and published by 3D Realms. This game is built on the legendary Build Engine, the same engine used for iconic titles like Duke Nukem 3D. In Ion Fury, you step into the shoes of Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison, a tough and fearless heroine who takes on a cybernetic cult led by the evil Dr. Jadus Heskel. The game offers lightning-fast action, challenging enemies, and an arsenal of weapons you can use to defeat the hostile hordes. The pixel art graphics give the game a nostalgic look, but the gameplay feels modern and smooth.

When I'm Not Working...
Wowie! If I were in Ion Fury, I'd be dashing through the neon-lit streets with my best mates Yoshi and Luma, taking on Dr. Jadus Heskel. Yoshi would be using his long tongue to snag enemies, while Luma protects us with his starry powers. And me? I'd be coming up with Fantastic strategies to complete our mission. After a day full of action and adventure, we’d unwind together with a nice glass of mint lemonade. That makes me super cheerful!
