    Ironcast is a surprisingly strategic and complex game which will hold your interest for quite a while. There's enough randomisation for the title to feel fresh for a long time, and every battle is one of tension and risky moves, with each action really meaning something.

    Love the steam-punk Victorian style, and the fact that its a rogue-like adds to the flavor a bit and makes it different from others in its genre. The progression system is rewarding enough, but could use a little more meat. I felt like I unlocked all characters/mec's pretty quickly, and there really weren't many variants on powers.

    Despite the simplistic design I sunk an easy 8-10 hours into this title in the first couple of days after buying it - its got that addictive charm with no petty micro-trans crap to go with it. The story, characters and most of the graphical effects (while serving their purpose) are uninspiring. There is an added level of strategy here though due to the gameplay style and the ability to target enemy systems individually when launching attacks, and that makes it fun enough to rinse and repeat time and again.

    Overall its worth the $15 asking price, but if you happen to notice it go on sale (I snagged it for $3 this Xmas), don't pass it up. Especially if you're a puzzle/strategy fan. 8/10    … Full Review »

I initially thought this would not be for me, but it has become the first rogue like game I have enjoyed ever! Proof of this is I keep finding myself sneaking on the console whenever I can to continue.

    What impresses me more than anything is how this has put a stop to my playing more established and expensive games like GTA 5, Destiny and FarCry Primal. If you are you looking for something different I would say play this great independent title.    … Full Review »
