Fury Unleashed is a step better than what you would expect from a generic-looking run-and-gun action game. Its intelligent premise and sheer adherence to fun in all its forms makes it a great game for unwinding or chasing that elusive feeling of flow. Say what you want about Fury and his two-dimensional escapades, but Awesome Games Studio had a clear vision for their game and executed it to an impressive degree of success.

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

The action pops and is excellently crafted. You always feel like you are on the verge of making more progress, which is a great feeling for a roguelike

Mechanics

The action in Badass Hero for PC, PS4 and XONE is presented from a side perspective. The gameplay focuses on exploration of randomly generated, comic-like world; combat with encountered enemies; obtaining new weapons and equipment pieces; and on developing the protagonist. Reflex and agility is the key to victory – the player can fire in all directions and must watch out not only for enemies, but for many traps and obstacles as well.

Luckily, the protagonist isn’t helpless – he has access to a wide variety of weapons, including shotguns, machine guns, rocket launchers and grenade launchers. With these weapons he eliminates hordes of regular enemies and bosses that are much harder to beat. By eliminating the adversaries, the protagonist gains ink, which serves as the currency – it can be traded for new skills and weapons. The player must be careful, as dying is permanent.
