‘Feral Fury’ 1.0.1 Update Brings New Items, Features, and Tweaks to the Roguelike Shooter

TouchArcade Rating:

Skandivania Games’ Feral Fury ($4.99) is a good pickup if you have been waiting on Binding of Isaac to hit iOS, as it’s a similar kind of top-down, roguelike dual-stick shooter. The team is currently tweaking the experience, though, with some new features being brought to the title. It’s a little easier now as the starting HP for players (not in New Game+) has been increased. Boss encounters are now randomized, and there’s a new stage and boss. A new fire effect has been added, along with destructible crates.

A chest is now guaranteed on each stage, and 60 new items are in play, with various helmets, scrolls, and drones now available. Vending machines for HP and keycards can be found, too. If you’ve been wondering how to unlock stage 5, that’s now a bit less cryptic. A new weekly daily run leaderboard has been added in. Sadly, it doesn’t look like brightness has been cranked up, which is my number one request for this game – it’s way too dark! The 1.0.1 update with all these new tweaks is rolling out right now – be patient if it’s not quite available yet.

      And it's awesome! A real fresh take on an iPhone experience. Well done Pete. 5*

        Holy smokes a Molyneux fan. I thought all of those were extinct...

        1. thejbe

          Shhhh it's me, Peter, undercover ;-)

          OHMYGOD PETE WHY DID YOU EAT ALL OUR BABIES???!!!

          Very good, carry on, as you were.

          Forever fan here, for he who gaves us dungeon keeper.

      It looks good, but the name Peter Molyneux is a big red flag. You don't sell anything these days with namedropping Molyneux, you warn them and keep them away.

      1. kevin888

        Peter Molyneux is the only name you namedrop.

    3. Taeles

      ignore the name behind it. this is a very relaxing solid game.

      I found it to be a rather dull walking simulator, full of stutters and pauses and non responsive controls.

      I think maybe it's aimed at very small kids. Probably more chance of them buying the ridiculous iAP's that the game is riddled with.

    5. Scott Stephan

      I liked this game. But then my dude wandered off the path, walked through the world geo and got stuck. They managed to muck up a game about walking on a pre-determined path.

        This is also a supremely insightful description of Cameron's role in the Brexit referendum, megalolz.

        1. Deckard74

          Wow you shoehorned Brexit into a videogame forum, that escalated.

          1. Qaioud

            I fully defend the right of the Brexit peoples to keep our comments thread entirely devoted to OUR comments, and i hereby commit to building a wall to keep out any comments of an external or alien nature!

    6. repapermunky

      Molyneux... that's a no go for me. Dude has been caught lying multiple times, and has failed more often than not. Then tries to make excuses. Like dude, maybe your time is long over?

    7. Lacuna King

      Well, it's definitely a beautiful looking game. The opening scene on the boat from the trailer reminded me of the Wind Waker. Will have to try it to see how the actual game is.

      1. Richelle Ludwick

        windwaker! That's what this reminds me of.

    8. boodro82

      Played for a few hours, came back later and my progress was not saved. Any ideas why?

      1. Matt

        Mine was also deleted. I'd love for someone to give advice

      2. shauns

        Same problem

      3. Jakob Gowens

        The same thing happened to me which made me really mad. If you never fully close the app and you go back into the app every once in a while it will stay where you are

      I remember pumping 20 hours into Fable 2 before my character fell through the game world floor, corrupting the save file.

      A known issue, they said.

      They'd fix it, they said.

      It was months before Lionhead resolved it.

      I remember waking up one night to a strange sound. I went outside and to this day swear I saw the apparition of Peter Molyneux dancing by a hilltop bonfire, throwing cash into fire like a madman.

      Dark times.

    10. Richelle Ludwick

      I've put a couple hours into it so far. I keep feeling like it's "about to get really fun" and while it has me interested, i'm teetering on the edge of either giving it up (if something different/interesting doesn't happen soon) or being a huge fan. I can see this going either way.

    11. Sarah Paans

      When I arrive in Eden all the houses are 'owned' and I can't find a 'free plot'. Anyone else having this problem?

      1. Sammie

        the same thing happened to me

        1. finallyadi

          Go to map just before Eden falls 0.8km and go again...u go to a new town everytime until u settle

          1. Eli Duggan

            Ok, thanks

    12. Eli Duggan

      When you reach Eden all of the plots are owned... anyone know what you do next? Just keep going?

      1. finallyadi

        Go back to a camp behind Eden falls 0.8km
        U reach a new town every time until settled

    13. Figot

      How do i settle in eden falls when all the slots are empty???

    14. Sarah Tay

      How do you obtain the wooden planks you need to upgrade my house again??

    15. Sean Sweeney

      How do I eat while I am on the trail?

    16. Soham

      How to eat apple?

    17. Z4RQUON .

      HOLY SHIT! I am addicted to this game.

    18. SalmonSensay

      Iv backed up my iCloud and then try to restore from a save file but it hasn't created a save file yet. Reluctant to carry on in case I have to re start, again.

    19. MongoMove

      How do I feed myself with an apple?

    20. FionaTheHumanGirl

      My game deleted all of my progress and now I have to start over!! I put so much work into it. Why did this happen?!

      1. Alex ♡

        do you know where the lumber yard is ? i need wooden planks. with the new update what happened to you is happening to others

        1. FionaTheHumanGirl

          I think you craft the wooden planks yourself, I'm not 100% sure though. As far as losing my progress it's gone for good but they said they will compensate me for the in app purchases I made.

          1. Pat Ambrosio

            Did they refund you?

    21. Alex ♡

      where is the lumber yard?

      1. Sag Umrigar

        Hey, I'm having same difficulty finding lumberyard for making wooden planks.. Did you find any answers?

    22. Alex ♡

      where is the lumber yard

    23. DraconiaWing

      This game is great, but I really wanted to be the founder of a town, and when I got to a town with no name, I signed the charter and stuff, but then, after I clicked enter, I got brought to a completely new town! My house in a new place and everyhting.... :(

    24. firebane000

      Not actually multiplayer. The "players" are Computer controlled versions of player made profiles. The trading is predetermined from how far you are into the game and is too 'tame' to be player controlled , "players" fall out of thin air behind you and are able to see through solid objects to pick up items off the ground. Possibly the only multiplayer aspect is the towns, but you never actually see anyone, just items they leave and take off your shelf. Also, very crash-heavy still. I'd advise against watching ads as they will wipe exactly half of the items towards your quest progress if it crashes during the ad (which it has a very high chance to). Still a very relaxing and fun experience.

      1. jl10

        Yup. I noticed this also. It's essentially stimulated multiplayer. This becomes apparent when you trade multiple times in the same camping spot (which you can do by leaving the camp and then immediately choose the option to return to camp).

        All the people at the camp trade again and trade a bunch of stuff... Which doesn't make sense if it was real people. They would have a finite amount of backpack space and the chance that they traded exactly at the same time you are over and over again is basically impossible.

        The presentation of the game is nice but the game itself is just "meh"... Especially after you got town and start a house. Then you realize it's just grinding... And not a good grinding either because they make it so you need old resources to upgrade, not the newer ones you find as you walk further. This means you need to walk back in the places you've been before. And home upgrading balance is way off... One item you need many more times than others and they chose an item you can only pick up and not harvest which I'm sure they did on purpose to spur app purchases.

        The game is interesting in the beginning but basically drops off in playability relatively quickly. Personally I'm sure after another week or two, I'll stop playing.
