“Okay so what are the complaints here? I've rarely ever played such a great oldschool-type FPS (I refuse to use the term "boomer shooter"). The game works fine from a technical perspective, controls are fluid, gunplay is…”
“Pick up on sale. Finished in 10 hours on hard. Solid retro FPS romp trying to do its own thing, and I can't hate it for it. I genuinely feel that Ion Fury has more charm. The transition to 3D is fine, and things…”

“Ion Fury was a perfect tribute to Duke Nukem 3d, and its sequel, Phantom Fury is a perfect tribute to Sin, in both all the best and worst ways possible. Its a throwback to its great retro-futuristic setting, its…”
“First of lets get the ugly part over with. Yes 3DR needs to chill. Throwing a tissy and hating on folks for their opinions is tactless. Now on to the game. Having Just finished this directly after Ion Fury. Its clearly…”

“Phantom Fury doesn't deserve the hate, I had a blast with it! The game wears its influences on its sleeve - the likes of Half-Life, SiN, Duke and other Build Engine greats. The level of interactivity throughout the maps…”
“A throwback to early 2000s shooters. What Duke Nukem forever could have been. sigh! If you're looking for a straightforward, adrenaline-fueled game, Phantom Fury is definitely worth your time. It knows what it is and…”

“Rating: 3/5 Stars Who I recommend this to: People who are patient with games, loved early 3D Shooters in the late 90s (Quake 2, Sin, Soldier of Fortune, etc), and enjoy games with lots of Jank. The GOOD: Voice Acting -…”

“Хороший шутан в стиле первой половины 00х. Не великий, есть кривости в дизайне (как и в те времена), есть баги (которые иногда заставляют переигрывать некоторые секции), можно даже застрять в ситуации "ну и куда же мне…”

“FIRST AND FOREMOST: THIS IS NOT A BOOMER SHOOTER JFC, I swear half of the negativity around this game comes from this fundamental misconception. This is a corridor shooter, ala Red Faction, Half Life, Prey 2006, etc. And yes, I'm aware Ion Fury was a boomer shooter, but hey, Ion…”

It's obvious the team had a lot more ambition with this project and the initial reaction from both reviewers and players was negative duet o the price and performance. The…”
