First, the decision to insert random chat screenshots between the author and friends, whining about his comic-book poor reception, is both intrusive and irrelevant. This is an action game, not a personal diary.

Secondly, the plot relies on outdated tropes such as:
1. Hero vs Evil Cannibal Natives and their Pagan Gods
2. Superhero vs Super Nazis
3. Hero vs World-Domination Aliens
These clichés were stale a decade before the comic was released, and it's astonishing "Fury" received any attention at all. When you recycle these comic-book clichés, and present it two decades after their prime, and then have the audacity to complain about the reception, don't expect empathy from me.
The final chapter, featuring the author versus their character, is slightly more original but this is only compared to supernazis. I would like to point out that it has different problems, though, such as enemy bullets passing through walls and poor visibility due to light gray and white color scheme
The gameplay mechanics heavily rely on luck and maintaining a "combo", offering little room for skill, if any. The first episode provides a somewhat balanced experience, but subsequent chapters suffer from narrow corridors, repetitive enemy designs, and frustrating traps.
The "bosses," with the exception of the final encounter, are underwhelming and lack substantial challenge. Despite its flaws, "Fury Unleashed" can be enjoyable for a day or two, primarily due to its action gameplay, not its narrative. However, repetition and frustrating design choices soon set in.
