Download Fury Unleashed for macOS

You start most roguelites knowing you'll die a lot. The frustration comes when you don't feel any stronger for it. Fury Unleashed fixes that by making every run leave a mark—literally. The comic-book frames you clear stay inked, and your hero, John Kowalski, grows alongside the story you piece together about his creative crisis.

Who'll feel right at home

• You love the idea of playing through a comic. Each room is a hand-drawn page, and the guitar-heavy soundtrack by Adam Skorupa and Krzysztof Wierzynkiewicz pushes the action forward.
• You need difficulty that bends to your mood. There's an easy mode, a punishing hard mode, and a stack of parameters you can tweak in between.
• You enjoy chaotic item combos. Random gear drops keep combat unpredictable across the 40 bosses you'll face.
• You'd rather laugh at the gore than wince. Blood and dismemberment can be switched off completely, leaving the colourful pop-art style to do the talking.

Comic-panel loop, not a branching story

If you're after a deep, procedurally generated narrative, the comic-panel structure won't surprise you after a few hours. The loop is tight shooting and platforming, not branching dialogue. And while you can slap your own face onto the hero with a custom image, the core loop still asks you to enjoy grinding for ink—the game's most valuable resource—to unlock permanent upgrades. Players who need fresh biomes every run might find the same inked pages wearing thin.

Players who get the most mileage

Co-op pairs squeeze extra life out of this one. The shared combo meter means you're both feeding the same damage boost, so there's real teamwork in chaining kills rather than racing for pickups. Mac users with an older Intel machine also win here — the game runs comfortably on hardware that predates Apple Silicon, so that dusty iMac on Sierra can still throw punches.

Drop through platforms to dodge grenades

• Holding down while jumping lets you drop through one-way platforms. The tutorial skips this, but it saves your combo when a grenade lands on the ledge above you.
• Ink pickups look generic, but the glow around them pulses faster when your combo multiplier is climbing. A quick glance tells you whether it's worth doubling back mid-fight.
• Custom faces aren't just a gag. If you're playing local co-op, swapping in two distinct photos makes split-second character recognition way easier during the messier boss arenas.

Good to know: The game comes from Awesome Games Studio and supports local co-op, so you can drag a friend through Kowalski's crisis with you.
