IRONCAST: Out TODAY on Nintendo Switch

The enemy has landed: The eagerly awaited turn-based strategy game, Ironcast, developed by Dreadbit and published by Ripstone, is on the front line and available to download now from the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch™. The game, which is the complete Ironcast collection and includes all available Commanders and Mechs, is priced at £12.99 / $12.99 / €14.99.

With four ways to play, Ironcast fully utilizes the array of intuitive playing options on Nintendo Switch. You can play on the big screen with the console docked, in tabletop mode with the Pro Controller, and on the go in handheld mode using either the Joy-Con™ controllers or by taking advantage of full touch screen functionality. With added HD rumble support, taking down the enemy has never felt so good!

Check out the new launch trailer here:

Ironcast is a turn-based strategy game set in an alternative Victorian history; where refined men and women command gigantic, mechanized war machines, laying waste to enemies of the British Empire. As Commanders of the Consortium of Merit, players take control of their own 7-meter-tall walking Ironcast to defend 1880’s Victorian England from an invading force of enemy Ironcast.

Battles are fought by generating resource nodes which in turn drive the Ironcast’s various weapons and systems. Players must choose how to spend these nodes wisely; either offensively to cripple and destroy opponents, or defensively, if they suspect a barrage of incoming weapon fire is due.

The roguelite style of Ironcast enforces that death is permanent, but rewards are persistent, and no two campaigns are the same. With randomly generated missions, over 50 unlockable items and the potential for rare enemy loot drops, commanders will face a new crusade with every play through.

I've been an avid gamer since I stumbled upon ZORK running in my local Radio Shack in 1980. Ten years later I was working for Sierra Online. Since then I've owned nearly every game system and most of the games to go with them. Not sure if 40+ years of gaming qualifies me to write reviews, but I do it anyway.
