Fury Unleashed

« Fury Unleashed is endlessly replayable and enormously satisfying with its appetising composition of big guns, big challenge, and even bigger rewards. »

« Caught within a comic book, fight your way through as the protagonist Fury to help your creator overcome his doubt as an artist. A devilishly fun and extremely difficult rougelite that thankfully doesn't penalize you as harshly for dying as some within this genre. There is a steep learning curve in "Hard Mode" (technically normal mode) but there is an "Easy Mode" option with customizable parameters to make the game more accessible. Shoot, loot, and keep your combo going to shield you from enemies and collect health with each kill. You can even complete a whole run on one continuous combo, are you up to the task? »

« Apart from some at times tiny writing on the Switch handheld, Fury Unleashed looks sublime, has riffage for days, and represents an excellent run and gun wormhole to disappear down. »

« Fury Unleashed takes the central gameplay loops of the likes of Dead Cells and Enter the Gungeon and infuses them with pulpy '90s action platforming resulting in one of the best roguelites currently available on Nintendo Switch. Awesome Games' effort has benefited massively from five years in development and an extended period of early access on PC that's seen its gameplay polished to near perfection with slick and responsive controls, a huge and satisfyingly meaty armoury of weapons, zippy traversal mechanics and procedurally generated levels crammed full of secrets, challenges and hard-hitting enemies waiting to stop you in your tracks time and time again. There are unfortunately some niggling framerate issues that need addressing with this Switch port but, overall, this is a superbly addictive and hugely satisfying addition to the roguelike genre. »

« Fury Unleashed knows how to deliver an engaging gameplay, thanks to its combo system fast-paced design. If you’re ok with a rogue lite approach, we think you’ll have a great time with it. »

« The slightly slower loading times, and the lack of the mouse and keyboard option, is not enough to turn this into the lesser version. This ultra-fun, over-the-top homage to action remains equally as entertaining in its new, hybrid home. The controls are excellent, the vibrant, comic book visuals are great, and the RNG adds the right amount of chaos to a game where skill is at the forefront, despite the existence of experience points and randomised loot. »

« Mechanically well-working 2D action with competent comic design and slight rogue influences. »

« Every time I returned to Fury Unleashed I found myself enjoying what I played. It’s maybe not something that sucked me in and kept me glued to the screen until the end, but it entertained whenever I gave it a chance. For its price, it’s a worthwhile diversion. I just wouldn’t be surprised if nothing inside you gets unleashed. »

« I absolutely love this game. I can't say enough positive things about it. I've finished the game with my brother 2-3 times. One if not the best game I've played on PS4 and ps5 honestly. It's magical. I'm born in 1987 so I like the retro style of it. »

« This game isn't perfect, but it's really good. The makers cite Dead Cells, Rogue Legacy, Contra, and Metal Slug as their inspiration, and it's easy to see those influences. The comic book art style and theme is well done, the controls are tight, the difficulty is adjustable and it supports 2 players. I highly recommend you grab it when it goes on sale (which it routinely does), you will get far more than your money's worth. My only real issue with the game is that you can't remap the controls. »

« The game is a rogue-LITE with excellent run and gun mechanics, interesting and variable bosses, hand drawn art and fairly tight gameplay. If you enjoy these types of games this is a no brainer. The length is also fairly decent and the game does things well to mix things up between runs (every "world" has variations on its end boss). Once you complete a world a few times, you have a choice of starting from the second world, so progression can be a bit easier if you want. One downside is I'm not a huge fan of the character design and the puppetry based animation is not my favorite. Otherwise this game is quite excellent and a lot of fun (it also has online and offline co-op). »

« I really enjoyed this game for close to 25-30 hours, lots of cool weapons, and it's challenging - but at some point, the levels and bosses starts to feel a bit samey and some more variety would do it a world of good. Especially the level design feels a bit lazy, even though it's obviously procedurally generated. Overall though, a very good game that I had a lot of fun with for a good while. »

« This is a great game! Your character controls well, there are a great range of weapons and items to experiment with, and the combat feels really satisfying. I love this gene, but I often find these type of games a bit too hard. Not so with Fury Unleashed! Its 'easy' mode is challenging but certainly not intimidating and you feel like you are improving and making progress with every run. This is well worth trying if you enjoy run and gun shooters. »
