Of course, if you’re familiar with Ironhide’s works, you’ll also know that this is a sequel to the original Iron Marines game. To succeed, you’ll need to use your reflexes and your wits to order your soldiers and become victorious. Iron Marines want to stress that it is a decently challenging experience and that you won’t simply be treading over the aliens like they’re nothing but cannon fodder.
That, however, doesn’t mean that it’ll be a walk in the park.
Don’t anticipate a Dawn of War or a Starcraft here, Iron Marines is meant to be a bit more of a humour-filled casual romp than a hardcore RTS like those titles. Graphics: OpenGL 3.0 compliant with 512MB of video RAM.This comes along with a nice pixel art style that doesn’t take itself too seriously.I think I will wait for the Kingdom Rush: Vengeance to hit the PCs.… In all seriousness, I would much rather this game was a sci-fi tower defense (maybe with some light base-building) than what it is now. But, since grinding is not really fun, and the mission replayability is low, the games becomes dull and repetitive at some point. This is important if you want to beat the campaign as the missions are getting exponentially harder. This way they receive more powerful abilities and become stronger overall. Another part of the grind is earning the research points which you spend on upgrading your units. All the other heroes mostly use melee attacks, and are all that much more difficult to control. What's more, after I unlocked the first few heroes, it turned out that the two base heroes are simply the best, because they use ranged weapons. The thing is, you'll unlock some of the heroes only after you've beat a good part or even the whole game, but level replayability is rather poor. You have to replay levels to develop your heroes who always start on level 1 (lvl 10 being max). Seems great, but in my experience it's just not that fun. In the meantime you have to defend and develop your bases. In each mission you control a hero and several squads of base units (soldiers, mechs or empyreals ), and you go about the map, doing stuff. Visuals and sound are top-notch as always, but the gameplay is just meh. When the game finally arrived on PCs, I made another approach and spent several evening with the game only to come to the conclusion that Ironhide Game Studio should simply stick to the Tower Defense mechanics. I tried to play it on my phone at first, but the RTS mechanics simply did not translate well to a touch screen, and the controls were clunky at best.
