Phantom Fury stands out as an exceptional retro inspired shooter precisely because it’s the original Duke Nukem Forever that gamers were promised back in 1996.
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."
"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
