As special operative agent Vincent Fury, we infiltrate the top-secret research center of Easton Industries to rescue Doctor Klaus and recover the Tetra Cell.

The game contains alternative endings.

Gameplay

In Guns of Fury, we explore a vast map, the parts of which are unlocked by acquiring certain upgrades and skills. Our path is blocked by waves of armed enemies, which requires us to use an abundant arsenal: from melee weapons, through pistols and rifles, to heavy artillery, a freezing ray, and grenades. The game features mechs with a diverse range of attacks.

There are also battles with bosses and the destructible environment hides secret ages leading to valuable treasures. During precision-demanding platform stages, special moves such as a short sprint and double jump help us. We can spend the coins we earn to buy health-boosting drinks, additional weapons or clothing that provides camouflage. When selecting equipment, we are guided by stats that include damage dealt, rate of fire, and the cost of ammunition.

Graphics and music

Guns of Fury is characterized by colorful pixel-art visuals, reminiscent of 16-bit classics. The 1980s styled music was created by Dominic Ninmark.

Backtracking Issues: Many reviews mention tedious backtracking, as players often have to revisit areas multiple times without clear guidance on where to go next, which can become frustrating.
Combat Limitations: The inability to shoot diagonally is frequently criticized, as it feels outdated and can make combat against enemies that can aim diagonally feel unfair.
Difficulty Balance: Some players find the difficulty to be inconsistent, with early enemies being too easy and later bosses being overly challenging without a clear progression in power.

Improved Map Features: Players express a desire for a more sophisticated map system that includes color-coded areas, objective markers, and more detailed indicators for items and progression.
Quality of Life Improvements: Suggestions include the ability to hot-swap weapons, autosave features, and more fast travel points to alleviate the burden of backtracking.
Visual Progression: Some players wish for more visual or changes to the character's appearance as they progress, which could enhance the feeling of growth and achievement.
