    This track is called "Access"! Ion Fury was an awesome game! It was a modern game (released in 2019), and it used the Build Engine, which was used for games like Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior! It made the engine feel modern, and was a ton of action and crazy moments! It was a really fun game!

    Hot take: Roguelikes are cool if the procedural generated level design fits the story or theme (Hades, Shadow Warrior 2), but games that are literally just "procedurally generated version of X genre" feel like lazy cash-grabs that makes the game "vibe code" its own level design.

    Ion Fury: Aftershock: If you ever grew up with the likes of Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior or Sin, this (and of course the main game) is the juice. Utterly ridiculous levels of effort and detail squeezed out from a 30+ year old game engine.

    1. Shadow Warrior (1997) an overlooked gem not many have talked about, it's a single-player FPS game where you play as Lo Wang. (the protagonist in the game.) it plays similar to Duke Nukem, considering it was developed by the same team! I highly recommend, btw!!
