Ion Fury

Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison earned her nickname as a bomb disposal expert for the Global Defense Force. When transhumanist cult mastermind Dr. Jadus Heskel unleashes a cybernetic army on Neo DC, Shelly decides it's time to drop bombs instead of defusing them. Her journey leaves blood and gore in huge, multi-level levels with the famous colorful key cards and plenty of secrets and Easter Eggs to discover around every corner. Also, there's no health regeneration here, so stop taking cover and start running and shooting. Honestly, Ion Maiden should appear on three hundred disks. In her attempt to take out Dr. Heskel's army, Shelly uses a whole arsenal of weapons, all of which have alternative firing modes or different ammo types. With her signature revolver, the Loverboy, she can inflict pain on her enemies with single shots and give players pleasure, or Shelly can swing the hammer in the style of the Wild West. Shotguns are fun, but even better is throwing grenades down their barrels and firing explosive bullets. Bowling bombs are just as violent and over-the-top as you'd hope. Ion Maiden laughs at the idea of constant checkpoints and straight paths through shooting galleries. But just because this is a true old-school first-person shooter doesn't mean there isn't all the good new stuff that the last two decades have brought. Headshots? Well, sure! More physics and interactivity? You betcha. Widescreen, controller support, and auto-saves? 3D Realms and Voidpoint have taken the best of both worlds and cooked them into a bloody stew.
