Guns of Fury takes place in the near future, when the world is experiencing an energy crisis. Dr. Klaus, a world-famous scientist, discovers the incredible properties of the Tetra Cell, which can save humanity. 24 hours after the announcement, the researcher mysteriously disappears, and an explosion occurs in his laboratory. The president of Easton Industries is suspected of kidnapping Dr. Klaus, who allegedly intends to create a superweapon based on the Tetra Cell. As operative Vincent Fury, players must infiltrate the corporation’s top-secret research center to return the missing scientist.
The action platformer combines elements of classic run & gun and metroidvania. Players will explore a huge world consisting of interconnected locations (some can only be accessed with certain abilities). The developers promise “exciting” action, hand-drawn graphics in the style of 16-bit projects, destructible environments, more than 10 “epic” bosses and many types of regular enemies, controllable mecha robots with different attacks and abilities, alternative endings and an “incredible” soundtrack from Dominic Ninmark. Gamers will find hundreds of unique items, weapons and devices, as well as secrets hidden in the walls. Only a single-player mode is announced, but players hope that the authors will add a co-op.
Users were delighted with the trailer. “This game has a 90s feel,” noted PadPoet. — Sound effects, animation, music. This is what SNK should be releasing now. I can’t wait.” “I’ll buy it on release day,” — shared kodemasterx.
The Gelato Games team consists of brothers John and Lefteris Christodoulatos. John is responsible for the software part, Lefteris for the art part.
