Awesome Games Studio have released a pair of new levels themed around Crypt of the NecroDancer and SuperHot for their 2D action-platformer, Fury Unleashed.
Each level features a new playable character with their own set of weapons and abilities. These crossover levels also feature mechanics inspired by their home games, like the Crypt of the NecroDancer level being based around rhythm, and the SuperHot level stopping down time when the player isn’t moving.

Fury Unleashed (*previously called The Badass Hero) is a rogue-lite action-platformer, where you play through pages of a comic book. Experience fast-paced hit-and-run gameplay. And never do the same thing twice, thanks to procedurally generated levels and random items. All in highly refined, modern, hi-res 2D art.
Somehow chaos has entered the comic book multiverse and your whole world has gone nuts. That’s how your story starts: You’re from a long-gone era, and were once a great hero, but now things have gotten worse – your powers have been lost! Your quest is simple, yet deadly – you need to write your story anew and relive your greatest accomplishments. Order will be restored when and only when you prove you are the true hero.
Your guns are your best friends, and ink is the new gold – collect it from defeated enemies to upgrade your hero. The more dynamic and forceful your play style, the greater the rewards! There’s a cost though – stay focused at all times, or you’ll die sooner than you think.
Key Features:
- Comic book setting – dive into comic book reality with Metal Slug inspired visuals.
- Action platforming with 360° shooting – jump, dash, shoot, slash and blow things up!
- Procedurally generated levels – you’ll never know what waits for you around the corner.
- Customizable character – take advantage of Steam Workshop and make the hero your own.
- Permadeath with character progression – you’ll keep the collected ink even if you die.
- Three unique comic stories to playthrough:
- Face the awakening Evil God in “Quetzalcoatl’s Awakening”
- Defeat the Nazis in “Operation Crimson Dusk”
- Defend the Earth from alien invasion in “The Last Stand of Earth”.
- Lots of game-changing items and weapons – wreak havoc on your enemies with shotguns, machine guns, rocket launchers and other firearms. Don’t forget about defense too – choose the best armor possible!
Fury Unleashed is available on Windows PC, Linux, Mac (all via GamersGate, GOG, and Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. In case you missed it, you can find our review here.
