Guns of Fury is a Metal Slug inspired shmup created by two Greeks from the independent studio Gelato Games. It's the next retro game after Goblin Sword combining mechanics known from metroidvanias with gameplay in the style of platform action games from the last decade of the 20th century.

Story

According to the vision presented in Guns of Fury, the near future world is plagued by an energy crisis. After the popular scientist Dr. Klaus announces the discovery of the Tetra Cell energy source, he vanishes, and his laboratory is destroyed as a result of a massive explosion. Suspicion falls on A. Easton, the president of Easton Industries.

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 passages 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.
