"Published by 3D Realms and created at Slipgate Ironworks™ comes a new retro-shooter called Phantom Fury. The game was released for Steam on April 24th, for £20.49, with a Digital Art book also available for purchase at £2.49." Kyle @ Thumb Culture
Remember Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison from Ion Fury? They are back with another retro-inspired boomer shooter - Phantom Fury on console.
Games Asylum: "The history of Duke Nukem Forever is one aspect of video game history that’s curiously well documented. While playing this throwback first-person shooter, intended to recall the early noughties with its pixilated visuals and shlock sci-fi setting, I couldn’t shake the fact that part of DNF’s DNA was present here. Not in a derogatory sense, but rather that it resembles one of the earlier, unreleased, DNF builds in terms of style and features. This may not even be a coincidence, with 3D Realms publishing, and references to The Manhattan Project – although this was a real-life event, and not just a subtitle of a forgotten Duke Nukem spin-off."
Phantom Fury could have been genuinely great, but is undermined by odd design choices and a nonsensical story.
