Greetings and today on LGR we’ve got something truly exciting!

Today we’re talking about the game previously known as Ion Maiden, now titled Ion Fury due

to truly ridiculous legal qualms but whatever.

Ion Fury is a new FPS published by 3D Realms

and developed by Voidpoint, released on August 15, 2019.

And the main source of my excitement for this game

stems from the engine with which it was developed.

Because this, my friends, is a Build Engine game.

That’s right, a brand new FPS built on the same code base

Games like Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, Blood, Redneck Rampage, Nam, Witchaven, William

Shatner’s TekWar, Extreme PaintBrawl -- ahh crap the games are getting worse I should’ve

So forget those last couple games, let’s just say it shares the Build Engine with these

So yeah, that makes Ion Fury the first official 3D Realms Build Engine FPS since Shadow Warrior,

and is the first new Build Engine game period since 1999.

There have, of course, been plenty of Build Engine game remasters over the years like

Blood: Fresh Supply, Shadow Warrior Classic Redux, and Duke Nukem 3D: World Tour.

Not to mention countless mods and total conversions that are pretty fantastic in their own right.

But Ion Fury is the first entirely new, full, standalone game built on Build in over two

decades now, so enough with the preamble.

Ion Fury explodes onto the screen with a main menu that fits in perfectly with the menus

of Apogee and 3D Realms throughout the 90s.

It even has a readme option that brings up a classic info screen going over the story

so far, gameplay tips, and a list of development and publishing credits.

Oh and it’s worth noting that we’re looking at footage from the pre-release full version

of the game, provided to me for review by 3D Realms so I could get this review out in

So some stuff may change in the future, but I’m told this is pretty feature-complete.

Minus a few things like controller support, something in the works to be patched in later,

as you’d expect seeing as multiple console ports are in the works for 2020.

Anyway, starting a new game brings up a few options, with the campaign providing the main

storyline playable on four skill levels, each with appropriately ‘90s names and matching portraits.

There are also an assortment of bonus missions, including the preview campaign, Crisis in

Columbia, a wave survival mode, Queen of the Hill,

and a mode with infinite Bowling Bombs, Bombardier Trial.

But yeah, we’re gonna take a good look at the campaign here

since that’s where you’ll find the real meat.

-You’re lucky I can’t fit a grenade launcher in my bag!

And straight away, I’ve gotta say I think this looks positively fantastic.

There’s always been something exceptional to me about the appearance of Build Engine

Those low-res textures, those flat sprites, them chunky voxels, that colored sector lighting

And it looks even more legit if you go into the options, disable OpenGL,

Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about, I can’t see s***!

Exactly how I like my Build Engine games.

Especially when playing on a nice CRT monitor in 640x480 resolution

I’m not gonna make you sit through a whole review

with the graphics cranked down that far, but yeah.

Just wanted to drive home the point that Ion Fury’s graphics options are admirably on-point,

to where it genuinely looks like a lost 3D Realms game from 1997.

And don’t get me wrong, I also thoroughly enjoy the current trend of retro shooters

Games like Dusk and Amid Evil are wonderful games that both look and play like something

straight outta ‘97, despite using modern engines like Unity and Unreal.

But it really is another thing entirely to have a new game in an old engine like this,

albeit an updated source port in this case.

Ion Fury’s binary is built from the EDuke32 code and has a bunch of stuff tweaked to make

it work as you see here, thanks in no small part to the talents of EDuke32 developer Richard

Gobeille working as Ion Fury’s director and one of the programmers.

But make no mistake: this is a Build Engine title complete with a large group file containing

CON scripts, *.ART tilesets, definition files, and maps that will all be familiar

to anyone who’s dabbled in Build Engine modding, with each individual level file opening

Granted, my review copy didn’t load the textures, but I’m told EDuke32’s next

patch will support Ion Fury maps, no problem.

Speaking of maps there are seven chapters or zones to complete, with two to five maps

each, totaling around 30 individual levels in the main campaign.

This is a lot larger than the preview campaign that was already available,

it took me about 9 hours to get through everything!

As for the narrative, you play Corporal Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison, explosives expert

and leader of the GDF Domestic Task Force,

based in the “near future” American city of Neo DC.

After another crappy day at work, you’re about to get wasted at a local bar when the

place is attacked by a bunch of cracked-out cyborg punks carrying out the plans of Diet

Coke Doctor Proton, Professor Jadus Heskel,

voiced by the one and only Jon St. John of Duke Nukem fame.

And if all this sounds familiar, well, here’s the thing.

Back in 2016 I covered another 3D Realms-published game: Bombshell.

Which was a top-down twin-stick action RPG thing and ah.

Considering I described it as “a game with no soul that made me sad,” you can safely
