    Unique gameplay, awesome visuals and solid performance. Maybe the best RTS experience for mobile devices! It is so engaging that it feels short but I'm confident much more content will be added in the near future. That's the way Ironhide Studio has worked with all their previous games, and Iron Marines will not be the exception.

    Simply not as much fun as the earlier Kingdom Rush Tower Defense games. They should purely make tower defense games. They have a winning formula, no need to change it. Just add new units, storylines, and maps. Alien setting with Tower Defense would have been OK.

    Right now this is a very shallow RTS.

    This game is one of the best rts I have played this year and the best on ios. The campain is fun and filled with action from having marines shoot enemies to flamethrowers and artillery troopers and wacky heros. Multiplayer has not come out yet but should come by the next month or so. The only problem that I have with this game is that to get the "cooler" heros you either have to grind aThis game is one of the best rts I have played this year and the best on ios.

Multiplayer has not come out yet but should come by the next month or so. The only problem that I have with this game is that to get the "cooler" heros you either have to grind a lot or pay some money. All in all this game is good and fun so I would reccomend you to try it!… Expand

    A great RTS title with a wonderful game design and some depth. Contrary to Kingdom Rush It lacks some better level design and more interesting missions. Generally I'm not a fan of the InApp-purchases, I would just prefer moderately higher prices for the games. It's one of the best iOS games.

    If you think Iron Marines as a mobile version of StarCraft, you might be disappointed: but if what you want is a solid, well crafted blend between an RTS and a tower defense game, look no further.

    Do not let the IAPs and steep challenge deter you from strong gameplay and incredible presentation. Iron Marines is an excellent mobile RTS.

    Iron Marines is a very, very good game. It seems like some sort of checkpoint or save system that makes failure feel a little less brutal would be a simple modification, but even without it, the game just forces you to be careful with your decisions. I really doubt StarCraft, in any form, will ever come to the App Store, so provided you can put up with the slightly cartoony art style of Iron Marines, this is definitely the next best thing.
