Inspired by the likes of Dead Cells, Rogue Legacy, Contra and Metal Slug, there is immediately much to love about Awesome Games Studio’s comic book styled Fury Unleashed. And if you’re tempted in by either the inspiration or the art style, you’re in luck as today it has launched on Xbox One.
Available to purchase and download on Xbox One, Fury Unleashed has been created thanks to the old – and modern – classics. With five years of development time behind it this combo-driven roguelite adventure will have you working your way through the pages of a living comic book, blasting past foes, and enjoying the glorious visuals in the process.
Delivering the most nostalgic of memories, Fury Unleashed will allow you the chance to play as you see fit, amending your heroes skills with your own unique playstyle, traversing the hand-designed stages and procedurally generated goodness that is thrown your way throughout. Throw in some roguelite elements and as much customisation as you could ever wish for, and it seems as if there will be much to love about the launch of Fury Unleashed on Xbox One.
Features of Fury Unleashed on Xbox One include:
- • Ever-changing comic book – Explore the pages of a living comic book where ink is your most valuable resource and each room is a comic panel. Find out why is John Kowalsky, creator of acclaimed Fury Unleashed series, having a creativity crisis and see if you can help him deal with it.
- • Gameplay-impacting combo system – Kill enemies quickly enough to unleash your fury and rip through everything in your way without getting injured. Learn to play flawlessly and beat the entire game in one, epic combo!
- • Game customization options – Choose either challenging Hard mode, which will put your skills to the test – or Easy mode, where you can adjust the difficulty parameters any way you want. Beat the Hard mode to unlock access to even harder Incredible and Legendary modes. Disable blood and gore if you don’t like it, or if there are young children around. Go solo or bring in a friend for a local co-op session.
- • Choose your hero’s skills to match your playstyle and modify their appearance to your liking!
- • Roguelite with soft permadeath – Discover worlds created by a mix of hand-designed levels and procedural generation algorithms. Choose the best items to assist you in your playthrough and unlock permanent upgrades when you’ll die for your subsequent runs.
- • Ravishing environments – Play through the pages of visually distinctive comic books and dive into the creator’s sketchbook. Master each enemy’s behavior patterns and overcome a total of 40 bosses. All that accompanied by epic soundtrack composed by Adam Skorupa and Krzysztof Wierzynkiewicz, the creators of music for The Witcher, Bulletstorm and Shadow Warrior.
Our full review can take you through exactly how this all plays out, but if you’re sold on the premise, or just need to get a fix of nostalgia, then chances are Fury Unleashed will deliver. It’s helped by a solid £16.74 Xbox Store price tag – that in itself will be a temptation to many. But if it’s not, the free trial that is available should certainly be taken in.
