    A fiendishly difficult game that has more than an element of a roguelike about it, combining random luck with very solid match-3 mechanics and a steampunk artstyle.

    It has minor faults - the game ends too quick for my tastes as I was enjoying it immensely until the abrupt end, and the story is decent but concluded sloppily - but I had a great deal of fun in the 18 hours it took me to    A fiendishly difficult game that has more than an element of a roguelike about it, combining random luck with very solid match-3 mechanics and a steampunk artstyle.

    It has minor faults - the game ends too quick for my tastes as I was enjoying it immensely until the abrupt end, and the story is decent but concluded sloppily - but I had a great deal of fun in the 18 hours it took me to beat it, and hopefully the ending sets up a very well earned sequel in the future.

    At £10, this game is a no-brainer for puzzle and strategy fans alike.    … Expand

    Not quite sure what made the other negative reviewers so sour about this game, but If you are a matching/RPG lover, I don't see how you couldn't like this game. The design of the game is global playthrough (meaning if you die during your current campaign you can start with different, and more powerful gear next campaign.

    I have really enjoyed the game thus far, and I would disregard the negative posts, because either the game was too complex, or they had absolutely no idea what they were buying? It is cheap either way, so I definitely think this game is well worth it!    … Expand

    The presentation could be better, but the mechanics are so solid that most players won't mind the flat appearance and audio. For those looking for a punishing version of Puzzle Quest, Ironcast is it.

    Ironcast exists admirably outside the match-3ing.

    Challenging and captivating turn based match-3-variation somewhere between PuzzleQuest and FTL: Faster Than Light.
