Is it good?
I played this when it was still Ion Maiden? Did they add much new stuff after that?

Good? It's a great game! And with Aftershock it's even better (So much so that I'd say that it is now the best Build engine game ever made to date),

I just finished Aftershock and it is indeed a great additional campaign to the main game. I can recommend both

A solid package with Aftershock.

Base game + expansion that's as long as at least a third of the main campaign + arrange mode, which is base game again, but spicier and worth a replay + Angel of Death difficulty, which is a surprisingly engaging implementation of ye olde Nightmare difficulty shenanigans.

It was called Ion Fury since launch, so you played during Early Access?
Yes they added in a ton of levels, there's tons of weapons, improved a lot of things across the board, improved some visuals.
Except they oddly nerfed the 10 portable medkits from 10 to I think 4. That's the only downside I'm aware of.

Tons of secrets to find out!

I like the direction of where the were going with this game. It wasn't trying to be realistic and it doesn't take itself seriously, just another game where you need to save the world singlehandedly from the bad guy.

Personally, it's not my cup of tea. The enemies, levels, puzzles and weapons don't look interesting and, Shelly's one liners don't land all the time. I rather play Duke 3D, Quake 1 & 2 again.

The original plan was much different.

They added in a silent protagonist option long time ago.

It is really good yes. Best Build Engine game tied with BLOOD.

With Aftershock they added a new campaign and an Arrange Mode for the base/original one.

It's insanely long especially if you're inching along/save scumming on Maximum Fury or god forbid "Angel of Death". The levels are twice as long as other Build games like Duke Nukem 3D. So 28 + secret levels + 14+secret levels we're talking about 45 long levels. New BFG endgame weapon "Homewrecker", new fun items to use that are like MDK items, new ammo types like gas grenades and cluster grenades for the grenade launcher. There is more enemies to round out the roster. I always thought the original Ion Fury didn't have enough weapon selection but it seems rounded out now. Music so far isn't quite as good as original Ion Fury but there is some bangers in the mix. There is much more interactivity in the levels, so many secrets that it's mind blowing. It's a 10/10 for me, I like Aftershock more because it's not overwhelmingly long like original Ion Fury's Capital Offense campaign. I don't get the hate for the Hoverbike levels are done very good and a nice change of pace from the gratuity. Arrange mode is just better in every way than original campaign. I was hoping for a another bonus game mode or two but I won't complain.

Late to the party, one of the best games Ive played in a while tbh, tons of soul, the atmospheres good, once you get in to it its pump.

It's a awesome game, if you like shooters especially older (boomer) shooters, then this is definitely worth it.

Best Build Engine game.

Easily one of the best, if not the best Build Engine game to have come out. You definitely get the best value for how much the whole package costs, and then some. That's not to say the game, and the expansion, are without faults, but for what it is, and even more than that, one of the best retro (boomer shooters) you'd likely ever playthrough.
