Iron Danger

The unique time manipulating tactics make this game an interesting strategy game, but also a somewhat tedious one.

Iron Danger is a compelling real-time tactics game that's held together by its core feature and a few interesting characters. Sadly, the story is bland other than a few interesting characters and while the core gameplay elements result in a strong tactical game, the controls frequently frustrate and impede the fun you can have.

Your enjoyment of Iron Danger will rely on how much you love tinkering with plans until you execute something perfectly. So, if that sounds like your jam then you'll be absolutely smitten with the strategic possibilities in Iron Danger.

An interesting tactical combat experience where you can rewind time

Iron Danger's combat can be frustrating at times, but its time-manipulation mechanic, despite a clunky implementation, provides it an identity of its own.

Iron Danger is missing the R of RPG, but it's an enjoyable experience with puzzle-like battles.

Overall, I feel like I’ve missed something with Iron Danger. On paper I should love it but I haven’t been able to get there. For me, it was a nested frustration that killed my enjoyment.

At first sight, the game looks completely unique compared to old fallout or other turn-based games.

If you are a lover of RPG games such as Divinity: Original Sin 2, and are a frequent abuser of the quick-save button like me, you’ll find Iron Danger quite fun and refreshing.

While figuring out the right set of moves can be frustrating, Iron Danger is a unique RPG-style combat experience combined with a strong story and audio/visual presentation.
