Ion Fury knows what it wants to be: A satisfying romp through the past, emboldened by the future and metal to the max.

Remember the legal spat between Duke Nukem maker 3D Realms and classic Metal maker Iron Maiden? The latter claimed that anybody who saw 3D Realms’ upcoming Ion Maiden - a 3D shooter in the vein of Duke Nukem – that they’d be led to believe that the band was involved.

Iron Maiden’s holding company is none too pleased with the fact that the 3D Realms logo and marketing for Ion Maiden bears a certain resemblance to the intellectual property of the band and they’re throwing a legal haymaker that claims that the game is “an effort to confuse consumers into believing Defendant’s products and services are somehow affiliated with or approved by Iron Maiden”.

It’s pretty much a new (old) Duke Nukem, without the Duke Nukem licence, which now belongs to Gearbox Software.
