If your rocket launcher fires too slowly, you might find one with more damage that fires multiple rockets at once. And even if you don’t like any particular weapon, it’s possible you can get a better version of that weapon eventually. Most of the guns are just plain fun to use. The weapon selection in Fury Unleashed is great, too. The higher your combo, the more the music ramps up too, driving you forward to maintain those big numbers. On top of all of that, there’s a combo system to juggle-with the higher combos giving you chances at important health pick-ups. Aiming and moving works almost like a twin-stick shooter, with movement and shooting independent-which is good, because there are often so many enemy projectiles, Fury Unleashed resides in one of the circles of bullet hell. If you’re above an enemy, you can stomp on their head to dispatch them, and there are multiple grenade types to play around with. Dashing away from enemy projectiles and returning fire is responsive–and addictive. Shooting is satisfying, and the movement is done excellently. But truthfully, these narrative interstitials are easy to ignore to get back to the great gunplay. These interactions usually lead to short, black and white interstitials-pencil sketched rooms that feature conversations, bad reviews, and other interaction with the mysterious creator. Doodle, who is apparently telling the story. The story is told through interactions with Mr. It’s actually about the creator of the Fury comics, and deals with the issues the creator is going through. There is a story underneath the action of Fury Unleashed-but it’s really not something I expected. And there’s an overarching narrative that ties it all together-but it’s about the comic creator, not the action you’re seeing on screen. Each of the three comics are themed, too-with different enemies and hazards in each. Each playthrough is randomized-with different room locations, mini-bosses, end bosses, and enemy types and placement. Each comic is made up of a few sections which represented by pages in a comic book, with the rooms cleverly being the panels that make up the comic pages.
Fury unleashed series#
You play as Fury-or a multitude of other unlockable characters-as he fights his way through three issues of the comic book series in which he’s the titular protagonist. With its comic theme and rogue-lite elements, it’s something I haven’t quite played before-and it’s damn fun, too.įury Unleashed is a side scrolling action game with rogue-lite elements, and roleplaying game character progression. My first impression upon seeing Fury Unleashed was that it would be a combination of Broforce and Metal Slug-and it kind of is. You have games and movies that involve action that take themselves seriously, and then you have those titles that just unapologetically go all out. Over-the-top is almost like its own subgenre of action.
