“Enjoyable action packed metroidvania. Makes for a fun twist on the usual gothic/sci-fi theme. Exploration was good, plenty of secrets to be had. Combat was pretty basic but made fun by the explosive environment all…”

“From what I've played so far, it's very fun, I'll update my review if that begins to change, but for the price I paid it's really fun. It's got a great sound track, snappy movement, feels like a classic without the…”

“Addictive gameplay reminiscent of the Metal Slug series, but with somewhat better graphics and extended mechanics that are wholly original. Pretty much everything is destructible here, and you’ll have fun blowing up…”
“Summary: Metroidvania game with Metal Slug gameplay Guns of Fury is an excellent game made by just 3 people, not a perfect game, but still very fun. It follows your classic Metroidvanis style game, explore, get new…”
“A fantastically fun mash up of metal slug and metroidvania. It's got great crunchy combat, solid platforming and fun exploration. The different power suits that you can unlock for sections of the game are a great…”

“The game looks really good, but I was not aware initially you can modify and customize key binds. It caused some frustrations early on. But, it all works really well. A very challenging but fun to play game. Worth every…”
“I am a fan of METAL SLUG and this game here delivers both gameplay and the pixel art of Metal Slug with an extra of Metroidvania exploration. The characters controls are excellent and you manage to really ace the jump n…”

“Excellent game if you like side scrolling shooters like this. Definitely very Metal Slug-esque with an RPG element. I'd love to have more games like this out there. Game plays well, there's a good amount of weapons that…”

“This game is essentially Symphony of the Night starring Rambo by way of Metal Slug. The writing is massively ESL with practically no proofreading for quality, structure, or even coherence at some points, but the art and OST are top notch. The OST in particular really emulates…”

— a player, Steam review · 22 hrs played“It's kinda mostly good. Great art, fun gameplay, good level of challenge. The part that doesn't work quite as well is the exploration in the second half of the game. Lots of stuff is hidden in really obscure locations and it's really not clear where you need to explore just to…”
